Looking to lay the groundwork for business success? Let’s create something strong, stylish, and absolutely Bundy-proof!
In the world of business, your driveway and car park are more than just places for parking—they're the first thing your customers and clients see. Whether it’s a bustling café on a Saturday morning or an industrial complex with heavy trucks coming and going, your surfaces need to handle tough traffic and harsh weather while looking polished and professional.
At Fortress Concreting Bundaberg, we know that durability is non-negotiable. Driveways and car parks are some of the hardest-working areas on any commercial property, constantly facing vehicles, equipment, and foot traffic. The last thing you want is potholes popping up like unwelcome visitors or cracked surfaces becoming trip hazards. Our concrete driveways and car parks are built to handle whatever comes their way, from forklifts and delivery vans to Bundy’s wild summer storms.
But it’s not just about toughness. A smooth, well-laid concrete surface speaks volumes about your business. It tells customers, "We’ve got our act together" before they even walk through your doors. And with the option of different finishes like exposed aggregate or coloured concrete, you can make your car park not just functional but visually appealing too—a perfect blend of style and strength.

When it comes to warehouses and factories, your concrete slabs need to be as tough as the work being done on them.

Looking for a tough-as-nails solution for your warehouse or factory? Let Fortress Concreting Bundaberg help you lay a
strong foundation for your industrial success. No cracks, no delays—just rock-solid results you can count on.

That’s where Fortress Concreting Bundaberg steps in, delivering weather-resistant concrete solutions that look great, perform well, and stand the test of time.
Our concrete footpaths and outdoor surfaces are built tough to handle not just Bundy’s unpredictable weather, but also constant foot traffic, bikes, prams, and scooters.

Whether it's a community walkway, park trail, or footpath surrounding a school, you’ll get concrete that stays smooth, safe, and functional year-round.

When the rain hits Bundaberg, it hits hard—and if your commercial property isn’t ready, water can quickly become your worst enemy. That’s where kerbs and gutters come in, quietly doing the heavy lifting to keep water flowing where it should and ensuring your property stays safe, functional, and looking sharp. At Fortress Concreting Bundaberg, we install reliable drainage solutions designed to handle anything the elements throw at you, because a little water management goes a long way.
Kerbs and gutters aren’t just about keeping your car parks and walkways puddle-free; they also play a crucial role in directing water safely away from high-traffic areas. A well-installed drainage system reduces the risk of slippery surfaces, flooding, and water damage, ensuring both your property and its visitors stay safe and dry. The best part? You’ll never have to worry about pooling water turning your sleek commercial space into a small lake.
Our kerbs and gutters are built with both functionality and durability in mind, standing up to Bundy’s wild weather and the daily wear of commercial use. Whether your business sees heavy vehicle traffic or pedestrian flow, our installations are designed to prevent erosion, reduce maintenance, and protect your property’s infrastructure for the long haul. With a variety of concrete styles and finishes available, we’ll make sure your drainage solutions blend seamlessly with the rest of your property—because practical doesn’t have to mean boring.
And of course, time is money in business, so we work quickly to get your kerbs and gutters in place with minimal disruption. Our team understands the importance of meeting deadlines and getting the job done right, so your business can keep running smoothly.
Ready to ditch the puddles, minimise risks, and keep your property in tip-top shape? Fortress Concreting Bundaberg is here to help with kerbs and gutters that do the hard work, rain or shine. Let's build a drainage system that’s as reliable as it is good-looking!
If you’re looking to add a bit of character and texture to your commercial outdoor spaces, exposed aggregate concrete is the perfect solution. At Fortress Concreting Bundaberg, we love how this visually striking finish brings a polished, sophisticated touch to everything from entryways and courtyards to garden paths and alfresco dining areas. It’s the ultimate blend of form and function, giving businesses a standout look while being tough enough to handle the demands of daily use.
What makes exposed aggregate so special? It’s all about revealing the natural beauty hidden within the concrete mix—think smooth pebbles, crushed stones, and colourful aggregates peeking through the surface. The result is a highly textured, eye-catching finish that works perfectly for landscaping, walkways, and outdoor areas. It’s like adding a little bit of nature to your business, but with all the durability of concrete.
Not only does exposed aggregate look amazing, but it’s also practical. It provides natural grip and slip resistance, making it ideal for outdoor spaces that need to stay safe in wet weather. Plus, it’s low-maintenance—just a quick clean every now and then keeps it looking fresh. That’s right, no complicated upkeep, just great-looking concrete that stands the test of time.
Whether you’re after a charming courtyard, a welcoming entry path, or a feature area in your garden, exposed aggregate can be tailored to suit your business’s aesthetic and personality. With a variety of colours, textures, and patterns available, we’ll help you design a space that leaves a lasting impression on customers and clients alike.
At Fortress Concreting Bundaberg, our team delivers high-quality exposed aggregate installations with the same efficiency and care we bring to every project.

Answers to the most commonly asked questions we receive ...
When it comes to commercial buildings, concrete slabs are built to handle the heavy lifting—literally! The thickness of a typical commercial concrete slab varies depending on the type of structure and the loads it’s expected to carry. But as a general rule of thumb:
The increased thickness ensures the slab can support heavier loads and high traffic without cracking or sinking over time. It’s also common for these slabs to be reinforced with steel mesh or rebar to add strength and durability—after all, nobody wants a floor that folds under pressure!
In addition to load considerations, site conditions like soil stability, weather exposure, and drainage will also impact the required thickness. That’s why it’s essential to work with experienced concreters (like us!) to get it right. We assess your property’s unique needs and ensure your slab is the perfect thickness to meet safety standards and last the long haul.
If you’re planning a commercial project and want a foundation that’s rock-solid, Fortress Concreting Bundaberg has the expertise to get it done right. Reach out today for a free quote—let’s lay down something built to last!
In commercial construction, choosing the right concrete strength is crucial—it’s the difference between a floor that lasts for decades and one that cracks under the pressure. Concrete strength is measured in MPA (megapascals), which indicates how much force the concrete can withstand. For most commercial buildings, the sweet spot is 25 to 32 MPa.
Here’s how it breaks down:
In some cases, especially in industrial or outdoor applications where exposure to extreme weather or heavy traffic is a factor, you might see 40 MPa or higher being used. The additional strength offers better long-term performance and reduces the need for repairs or maintenance.
Choosing the right MPA concrete is about balancing cost and performance—you don’t want to overbuild, but you also don’t want concrete that gives up halfway through the game. That’s why our experts at Fortress Concreting Bundaberg carefully assess the needs of each project to recommend the best MPA concrete for the job.
Need advice on which MPA is right for your commercial building? Reach out to us today—we’ll make sure your concrete is strong enough to handle whatever your business throws at it!
When it comes to commercial parking lots, thickness matters—you need concrete that can handle the wear and tear of constant traffic without cracking under pressure. The general recommendation is that commercial parking lots should have concrete slabs at least 150mm to 200mm thick, but the exact thickness depends on the type of traffic the lot will see.
Here’s a quick breakdown:
Site conditions—like soil stability, drainage, and climate—also play a role in determining the appropriate thickness. Additionally, commercial parking lots often require control joints and proper sealing to prevent cracking over time and extend the life of the slab.
At Fortress Concreting Bundaberg, we ensure your parking lot is built with the right thickness and reinforcement to meet your needs, handling both traffic volume and Bundy’s unpredictable weather. With our expertise, you’ll have a parking lot that’s durable, functional, and safe for years to come.
Need advice or a quote for your commercial parking lot? Get in touch with us today—we’ll make sure your concrete is up to the task from the ground up!
For a commercial sidewalk to do its job—safe, stable, and crack-free—the typical thickness is 100mm (4 inches). This is ideal for light pedestrian traffic, such as footpaths in shopping centres, office complexes, or along streetscapes. However, site conditions and traffic demands can influence this thickness.
In areas where heavier loads might occur (like delivery zones or places occasionally accessed by maintenance vehicles), the thickness may increase to 125mm to 150mm (5 to 6 inches). Adding reinforcement with steel mesh or rebar in these scenarios ensures longer durability and resistance to cracking under pressure.
Proper drainage and subgrade preparation also play a key role. The sidewalk slab sits on a compacted gravel or sand base, which helps prevent shifting and cracking over time. Additionally, control joints are used every 1.2 to 1.8 metres (4 to 6 feet) to allow for natural expansion and contraction, keeping the surface smooth and functional for years.
At Fortress Concreting Bundaberg, we build sidewalks to handle Bundy’s unpredictable weather and constant foot traffic without missing a beat. Whether it’s a bustling retail precinct or a peaceful community park, we make sure your footpaths are thick enough to perform and look great while doing it.
Need reliable, weather-resistant sidewalks for your project? Contact us today—we’ll lay down a path that’s built to last!
When it comes to commercial driveways, thickness is key to ensuring they can handle heavy vehicles, frequent use, and harsh weather without cracking or sinking. The standard thickness for a commercial driveway is 150mm (6 inches)—enough to support light commercial traffic and everyday vehicles. However, for heavier loads, such as delivery trucks or industrial machinery, it’s recommended to increase the thickness to 200mm (8 inches) or more.
In addition to thickness, reinforcement with steel mesh or rebar is often required to provide added strength, especially in high-traffic areas. This reinforcement helps prevent cracking under pressure and ensures the driveway holds up over time. Proper preparation is also critical, including compacting the subgrade and adding a gravel base for stability.
The local climate plays a role, too. In areas like Bundaberg with hot weather and occasional heavy rain, driveways need to be designed to withstand thermal expansion and water runoff. This is why we incorporate control joints and proper drainage systems to keep the concrete in top shape.
At Fortress Concreting Bundaberg, we make sure your commercial driveway is the perfect thickness to handle both traffic and the elements. Whether it’s a driveway for a busy retail centre or an industrial facility, we’ll build it strong, durable, and built to last.
Need a driveway that can take the heat and the traffic? Contact us today for a quote, and let’s get your project rolling!
The thickness of commercial concrete depends on the type of project and the loads it will need to support. As a general rule, most commercial concrete slabs range from 100mm to 200mm (4 to 8 inches) thick. Here’s how it breaks down:
It’s also common for commercial concrete to include reinforcement, such as steel mesh or rebar, which helps prevent cracking and ensures the slab stays strong over time. Proper subgrade preparation and control joints are essential to handle natural expansion, contraction, and wear, especially in areas like Bundaberg with hot weather and heavy rainfall.
Choosing the right thickness ensures your concrete can withstand the demands of your business without needing frequent repairs. At Fortress Concreting Bundaberg, we assess every project individually to make sure you get the perfect thickness for your needs—because overbuilding wastes money, but underbuilding can cost you even more in repairs.
