CASE STUDIES - DREAMWORLD THEME PARK

DREAMWORLD THEME PARK

Dreamworld is a significant tourist attraction north of the Gold Coast in South Eastern Queensland, Australia.

During the mid 1980’s one of Westend Industries clients won the contract for all the artificial rock work within Dreamworld. Condor shotcreting equipment was used exclusively throughout the project. The Dreamworld project comprised of some 5500 square metres by an average of 50mm thick of ordinary river sand, cement and oxides.

The project at Dreamworld was probably the major influence towards the utilisation of shotcrete for artificial rock work within Australia. Since that time, practically every up market hotel or resort built in the Gold Coast region has featured artificial rock themes to varying degrees. This has also filtered down to the standard domestic swimming pools throughout Australia.

Condor shotcreting equipment is proving to be the preferred medium for shotcreting in artificial rock projects. One project alone in Macau has used five of our Condor MPS303B rigs for over 11 months - a huge project.

Artificial rock applications using Condor equipment is the fastest growing industry witnessed within Westend Industries history.
