Suvo Strategic Minerals Limited (ASX: SUV) has announced the successful completion of initial trial pours of Colliecrete, a low carbon geopolymer concrete, in preparation for the demonstration pour on the Bunbury Outer Ring Road Project (BORR). The trial pours were facilitated by Dowsing Group and were completed at Peel Resource Recovery (Peel) located in Kemerton, Western Australia.
A series of 5 x 2m3 pours of Colliecrete were completed during the week commencing 15 April 2024, utilizing the company’s low carbon geopolymer concrete batching plant and a mobile self-loading concrete batching unit. The site team was comprised of Dowsing, Suvo, and Murdoch University personnel, enabling in-situ fine-tuning of the mix design to meet wet concrete specification and workability requirements. A series of cylinder moulds were collected for 28-day strength testing.
These trials demonstrate key parameters for scalability and application of the company’s low carbon geopolymer concrete to Suvo’s MOU partners, Dowsing and PERMacast. The data gathered from the trials has also been passed on to some leading Industry civil contractors who have made inquiries for various products that are being assessed for suitability for a major infrastructure project.
Non-executive chairman Aaron Banks commented: “We see the successful Colliecrete trials last week as another step forward in demonstrating the application of low carbon geopolymer concrete and accelerating its commercialization. We thank Dowsing for their facilitation of this work, and again, Peel for allowing us to use their facilities. The time on site was an excellent opportunity to develop our team and partner working relationships and continue to build execution capabilities needed for commercialization. The demonstration pour will give us important empirical data to provide more information to prospective users of Colliecrete.”
