In early 2024, Boral’s Sydney Concrete team introduced a practical and forward-thinking solution to a common industry challenge: what to do with leftover wet concrete. The answer? Branded concrete skip bins, now a familiar sight across our Sydney sites.

De Martin & Gasparini, a subsidiary of Boral, have just plugged into a cleaner future, taking delivery of our first electric trailer pump in March. It’s been undergoing testing and is set to head out to its first project in June and it’s already proving to be a smart investment.

When it comes to getting raw materials into Australia by sea, Eliza O'Day is right at the helm. From ports to paperwork, she manages the complex and often unpredictable process of importing the dry bulk materials Boral needs to keep moving. 

Boral proudly produces raw materials here in Australia, including clinker from our Berrima kiln using limestone from Marulan. But to meet national demand, we also import around 1.2 million tonnes of materials each year, including clinker, slag and gypsum. Eliza manages these shipments into two key ports. 

There’s our new, purpose-built Cement plant at the Port of Geelong, and Fisherman’s Island at the Port of Brisbane, which supports our Sunstate Cement joint venture with Adbri in Queensland. Our Geelong facility ensures a steady supply to southern states. And our deliveries into Brisbane keeps Sunstate stocked and ready to go. 

We sat down with Adam DeLuca from our Victorian Quarries team to learn more about the DeLuca family history.   

Boral’s Whyalla operations recently welcomed special guests from the Whyalla City Council for a behind-the-scenes look at our quarry and concrete facilities.

Brodie Hartin’s career journey is a great example of how building a career at Boral means growing layer by layer. Starting out in asphalt operations, he learned the ropes from the ground up before joining Boral as a sprayer driver.

We sat down with Ionut our new Environment and Stakeholder Advisor for Dunmore Quarry, Dunmore Sand & Soil and Bombo Quarry to find out more about his story.

Boral's Linwood Quarry staff brought geology to life for Year 3 students at Seacliff Primary School. Quarry Manager Andrew Geue and the team shared insights on rock blasting, quarry operations, and the journey from rocks to roads. The visit included a hands-on experience with a concrete agitator truck, sparking curiosity and excitement among the students.

Recently, we welcomed residents of Kirkbrae Retirement Village and members of the local Men's and Ladies Shed to our Montrose Quarry for a special day out.

Local resident John Wilson had always been curious about the quarry site, as he used to own a local cafe near Montrose Quarry where he would give Boral drivers free cups of tea and coffee on cold mornings. He reached out to our team to see if the aged care residents could come to see the quarry first-hand.

Boral’s Heavy Mobile Equipment (HME) investment program has been in full swing, with 61 brand-new machines arriving in the last six months across 48 sites nationwide.

From Batemans Bay to Orange Grove, our teams are welcoming a new wave of high-performance assets designed to make work easier, safer and more efficient.
