Gold Coast Acid Sulfate Soils and Coastal Concrete
Parts of the Gold Coast (particularly canal developments, low-lying coastal areas, and the Broadwater surrounds) have acid sulfate soils, which can attack concrete if not managed with appropriate cement types (SR cement). Coastal Gold Coast properties also benefit from using concrete with lower water-cement ratios for corrosion resistance. qbcc.qld.gov.au
