Delivering Value Through Innovation and Specialisation
Infrastructure isn’t just built — it’s engineered to last. At Freyssinet Australia Pty Ltd, based in Kalgoorlie-Boulder, we specialise in delivering turnkey specialised civil engineering and construction solutions for complex, high-value projects across mining, commercial, transport, and industrial sectors.
From post-tensioned buildings and cable-stayed structures to structural strengthening and cathodic protection systems, we work with asset owners, councils, engineers, and contractors to solve some of the most technically challenging issues in the built environment.
This article unpacks the advantages of working with a specialist engineering partner, the science behind what we do, and how clients can better plan for long-term asset performance.
When you’re dealing with complex infrastructure, hiring a single contractor to handle design, supply, and installation — like we do at Freyssinet — isn’t just convenient. It’s smart business.
This approach is particularly beneficial in remote or resource-rich regions like WA, where skilled labour, materials, and mobilisation logistics all need to be planned precisely.
General contractors play a vital role in mainstream construction, but when you start pushing the limits of load, span, condition, or longevity, it’s time to bring in the specialists.
Freyssinet engineers are trained to tackle problems that require advanced analysis, material science, and custom installation methods — not just manpower.
Building Post-tensioning (PT) is one of the cornerstones of high-performance construction — and a major part of what we do.
By preloading concrete with high-strength steel tendons, we enhance structural capacity, reduce material usage, and allow for longer spans, thinner slabs, and greater design flexibility. You’ll find PT in everything from bridges and water tanks to high-rise buildings and mine shafts.
Freyssinet Australia offers a cutting-edge post-tensioning system combining performance and durability. Our technical services design anchors, jacks and installation equipment and operate a laboratory and test centre for the formulation of grouts.
Our type multi and mono-strand post-tensioning anchors have been proven in structures worldwide in accordance with the most stringent requirements:
Post-tensioning is not only stronger — it’s smarter. It minimises cracking, enhances durability, and reduces long-term maintenance costs. That’s why it’s fast becoming standard across many critical projects in WA.
Replacing old infrastructure isn’t always necessary — or affordable. In many cases, remedial engineering and strengthening can restore capacity, extend service life, and bring assets up to current codes.
At Freyssinet, we offer a full range of structural strengthening techniques tailored to ageing concrete, steel, and composite structures.
This work is especially important for mining infrastructure, transport bridges, processing facilities, and underground assets, where performance demands have increased since the original design.
Concrete deteriorates over time — especially when exposed to harsh climates, chloride ingress, or loading fatigue. At Freyssinet, we provide comprehensive concrete repair and heritage restoration services for:
We specialise in restoring heritage assets through:
Whether it’s an industrial wharf or a historic stone façade, we combine technical expertise with care and precision.
Understanding the ground beneath a structure is just as important as the structure itself. That’s why Freyssinet has expanded its geotechnical capabilities to serve a wide range of civil and industrial needs.
Our solutions improve slope stability, foundation integrity, and structural resilience, particularly in mining zones, coastal environments, and areas with difficult terrain.
WA’s industrial assets face constant environmental attack — from UV and sea spray to chemicals and abrasive dust. We protect structural steel and infrastructure using advanced blasting and industrial coatings, applied by trained professionals and inspected by NACE-certified inspectors.
These coatings are not just cosmetic — they extend the life of assets by decades, reducing shutdowns, rust, and replacement costs.
In harsh environments like WA’s coastlines, salt-laden air and moisture attack steel-reinforced concrete. The result? Corrosion, concrete spalling, and costly structural damage.
Cathodic protection (CP) is a proactive solution that prevents corrosion by redirecting the electrochemical process before damage occurs. CP solutions can be used to control the progression of corrosion in reinforced concrete structures by:
We install and maintain CP systems for:
Freyssinet is one of Australia’s most experienced CP providers, with systems designed for both new builds and retrofits, undertaking condition assessment, design, supply and installation of a cathodic protection system.
We can design, supply and install Impressed Current Cathodic Protection (ICCP), hybrid or galvanic systems.
When structures begin to degrade, asset owners often face a difficult choice: repair or rebuild?
At Freyssinet, we help clients make this decision based on engineering assessment, lifecycle cost, and operational impact.
By engaging us early for a condition assessment, clients can weigh their options clearly — and often discover that targeted concrete repairs or strengthening are faster, cheaper, and more sustainable.
To ensure a smooth project rollout, it’s important that asset owners, engineers, and facility managers prepare effectively. Here’s a simple checklist to help:
Our team works closely with clients during this phase to ensure clear scope definition, method planning, and staging that works with site operations. Communication is key, and we’re known for being collaborative, responsive, and honest about what’s needed.
At Freyssinet Australia Pty Ltd, we’re more than just contractors — we’re technical partners who bring deep experience and innovation to every job. From our Kalgoorlie-Boulder base, we support projects across regional and remote WA, including mining camps, ports, bridges, and industrial facilities.
