Adbri Limited

Today, on R U OK? Day, we recognise that a conversation can change a life. Across our workplaces the Adbri team took a moment to ask those around us, “Are you okay?” and demonstrate that we are here to listen and support each other. Together, we can build a community of care and resilience. Remember that every day should be a day to ask, listen, encourage action, and check in!

The entrance to our Kwinana Upgrade project has been lit up with a new art installation called ‘Grounding’ by @Concreto.  The new sculpture, commissioned by Cockburn Cement and installed as part of the industrial precinct art contribution plan, represents an abstraction of the process of cement manufacture. The configuration of the three sculptural forms interprets a grinding mechanism, with each form loosely representing the materiality of cement: limestone, clinker and clay. The patterning of the internal and external faces is derived from material sourced from site as well as investigations into the manufacturing process.  

Penrice Quarry has been part of the Barossa community for over 100 years. In addition to providing essential quarry materials to support the South Australian construction, mining and agriculture sectors, it also supports the local community with in-kind donations. Recently the Adbri team had the pleasure of supporting two community projects – the Barossa Farmers Market and the Nuriootpa Primary School. As a result, the Barossa Farmers Market was able to upgrade its carpark to support year-round trading, while the school has been able to create a safe pathway into their new garden area. These are just some examples of how Adbri supports the local communities in which we operate. 

At Adbri, we’re committed to investing in our future drivers, with our Driver Academy expanded to include participants from Northern Territory, Queensland and South Australia. Over the last twelve months, over 60 participants have attended the Adbri Driver Academy at local sites, with many of these going on to become permanent member of the Adbri team. Not only is this program delivering new drivers to our industry; it’s also helping attract a more diverse workforce.  If you are looking for a career change, our Driver Academy may be an opportunity for you to become a professional driver.  Our team includes paramedics, police veterans, warehouse workers, and mums returning to the workforce.

The Kwinana skyline continues to evolve, with Silo E now successfully placed as part of Cockburn Cement’s Kwinana Upgrade project. A final silo is due to be placed in the coming weeks and then the large 600 tonne crane will then be removed from the site. Once completed the Kwinana Upgrade project will increase capacity from 1 mpta to 1.5 mpta – enough cement to build 77 new Optus Stadiums a year!

Adbri is proud to partner with the Doorway to Construction program to support new entrants into our industry.  Recently our Klein Point quarry team had the opportunity host students onsite and provide hands-on experience that will ensure they get home safely each day. Under the watchful eye of the Doorway to Construction and the Adbri team, the students learnt about the risks of working at heights and how to safely manage them. The student ended their training by following Adbri’s life saving rule of “I will work at height with fall protection in place” by donning harnesses and safely putting their new knowledge into practice.  Well done to everyone involved!  

🌍 Supporting Circularity with more Sustainable Innovation – SCMs at Adbri At Adbri, we recognise the importance of supporting the circular economy and the role of Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCMs) like fly ash and slag in decarbonising cement and concrete. While these low carbon products serve as a cement replacement to lower emissions; they can also play a key role in enhancing the overall quality of concrete. 🔄 What Are SCMs? SCMs, include materials like fly ash, a by-product from coal fire power generation and slag, a by-product of the steel manufacturing process. SCMs can be introduced to a concrete mix, replacing a portion of cement which lowers embodied carbon. The use of SCMs can also enhance concrete performance and durability, helping to ensure concrete stands the test of time. 🌱 Commitment to Transparency: To help customers build more sustainably, our Futurecrete range uses SCMs to create lower carbon concrete. These lower carbon concrete mixes are crafted by our experienced technical teams, and backed by Adbri’s independently verified Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) which contain transparent information about the impact of our products. Through our use of SCMs, we're reducing the embodied carbon of concrete and supporting circularity to Build a Better Australia. #SustainableConstruction #CircularEconomy #BuildingABetterAustralia
