So I had a great experience dealing with Hansen's concrete supplies business, they were really helpful. As a non business customer I found it really hard to find someone to help me with all the info I needed to be able to pour my own concrete bench top, but Hansen were great (my wife & I were inspired buy Grand Designs Aus). After a 15 minute phone call I was able to place the order, complicated by our desire for stark white concrete, and was impressed on the day when I received both a call and txt message to confirm delivery time. The driver turned up on time and the pour went well and the final product looks great. My mate "the concreter" from Concrete Grinding Solutions thought the product performed well too and he has a lot of experience in this field. A great experience all round and I would happily recommend Hansen and will be using them for my next concrete project!

Significant facts to remember about quarries in Australia

How does a quarry in Australia contribute to the society? Here are some facts!

Every Australian requires roughly 7 tonnes of quarry products and aggregates coming from various stone quarries and sand quarries every year - to build roads, infrastructures, schools and homes.
About 110 tonnes of quarry products are used to build a new home on average while 14000 tonnes are required to build a kilometre of a two-lane highway.
In the scope of the whole of Australia, over 150 million tonnes of aggregates are used to construct building infrastructures like schools, hospitals, commercial buildings, bridges and roads every year.
Quarry materials are locally sourced from local quarries near the construction sites to make sure that the transportation costs are low, and to keep building costs down for the local communities.
Quarry companies are committed to co-exist with local communities and follow stringent planning and operating conditions to mitigate environmental impact.

A quarry is a significant source of materials and aggregates that enables each Australian to experience a comfortable home and enjoy public infrastructure.
