EEEExhibitors were treated to

some of the dampest condi-

tions experienced in years at

the 2009 Civinex Expo.

But the weather did not stop

the four thousand plus atten-

dance to Eastern Creek, with

well over a hundred exhibitors

displayed their products.

Soilbond received an over

whelming response to it's

stand, and with interest from a

variety of different companies

and Government bodies.

Many people were interested in

the “Green” aspect of Soilbond,

with controlling dust and stabi-

lizing material.

During the three day event,

Soilbond's request to send

further information tripled

compared with previous years.

This demonstrates the change

in finding new products that

have minimal effect to the

environment.

The majority of inquires came

from different areas of Govern-

ment departments. Local

councils, parks and gardens to

name a few.

Business Development Man-

ager Steve Piesley said

“Companies are all expressing

issues faced with pressures in

using “Green” products for

their projects. Soilbond has a

product to meet these de-

mands”

Soilbond appreciates the re-

sponse received at Civinex and

the company looks forward to

future your business .

ties of losing all the work he had

pleasantly surprised to see the

heavy work still in tack. When

speaking to Heath he told Soil-

bond “He was very surprised to

see the stabilised material still

there, considering the amount of

water had been through the area”.

Proving that Soilbond has the

ability to overcome a natural del-

uge of water and remain in place.

the quarries plant .

At a recent Quarry Institute

dinner ,Soilbond caught up with

Adrian Bull the Quarry Manager for

Lake Cooper and he said after six

years of traffic , minimal mainte-

Mawson’s Lake Cooper is

one of Victoria’s well known quarry

sites. Mawson's contacted Chester

Bodycoat from Soilbond to suggest

a fix to a problem they had at the

Lake Cooper site.

An issue with a section of the

haul road had become unstable

and causing the trucks to bounce

over the ruts and corrugations.

After visiting the site, Chester’s

recommendations were submitted

and a section of the road way

SOILBOND AND VIC ROADS

Soilbond has been requested

to manage an up and coming

stabilising project for Vic Roads

Western office.

Roads works carried out ear-

lier in 2008 required granitic sand

medium strip to be used as a

natural looking finish to the site

appearance. However the material

used was compacted but not stabi-

lised to any degree.

The Soilbond product was

referred to Vic Roads for its stabili-

sation properties to overcome the

erosion with material currently in

place.

Paving Solutions Company ProfilePaving Solutions Company ProfilePaving Solutions Company ProfilePaving Solutions Company Profile The name Paving Solutions was registered in 1999 and we commenced trading as

a small operation with myself and one employee.

Our main line of work was brick paving and limestone walls. (read on)

the state.

Below is a list of just a few jobs carried out over the last couple of years to give an idea of our capabilities.

Aubin Gardens, Banjup. Approx 2500 lime-stone blocks, paving, cladding and cavity block work to the value of approx $400 000.

- Leighton Beach redevelopment. Approx 10 000 limestone blocks, concrete stairs and concrete walls to the value of approx $600 000.

Bertram Belgravia. Approx 2500 limestone blocks, cavity filled brickwork, capping and concrete paths to the value of approx $500 000.

Wellard town square development. Approx 12 000 m2 of Granite paving and 2500 m2 of ex-posed concreting to the value of approx 1.4 million.

Pretty Pool, Port Hedland. Cladded, cavity filled boundary estate walls to the value of approx $180 000.

By 2004 Paving Solutions had established extensive con-tacts in the construction industry, with some of our clients including Multiplex, Doric, BGC, Merrit and Coo-per and Oxley to name a few. As our client base grew so did our Company, employing approx 15 staff through the 2005 and 2006 years. It was also through these years that we forged our relationships with several commercial land-scaping companies and started specialising in com-mercial hard landscape construction. In 2007 we also branched into all aspects of concreting, setting up specific vehicles and teams dedicated to this work. It took of so fast that we poured approx 11 000m² in that year alone. Paving Solutions is now cemented as a well established com-pany with strong financial backing. We now employ approx 20-25 staff and have a fleet consisting of 2 bobcats, 7 trucks and 3 utes.

As a company we pride ourselves on being very versatile, carrying out just about anything we are asked to price. This works extends to but is not limited to brick paving, limestone walls, cladding, capping, pitching and rockwork, brick/block work, all aspects of concreting and all aspects of bulk or fine grade earth-works.

This flexibility and our well organised com-pany structure allows us to tender on and carry out work from some of the largest to some of the smallest jobs in Perth and all over
