In Far North Queensland, road projects don’t just connect people, they have to make space for nature too. That’s especially true in areas home to endangered species like the southern cassowary, where safe crossings are essential for protecting local wildlife.

The Humes Bebo® Precast Concrete Arch system is increasingly used across Australia for fauna and flora crossings.

Installed by a Victorian local council, the HumeFilter universal pollutant trap (UPT3000) shows how innovative precast stormwater systems can meet performance goals on tight urban sites.

The HumeFilter UPT3000 system was developed to meet complex stormwater treatment needs on constrained urban sites.

Holcim Australia is pleased to announce the appointment of Paul Casemore as Executive General Manager – Humes, effective 1 August 2025.

Humes has launched HumeBASE Precast Foundations — a fast, efficient alternative to traditional in-situ foundations for wind turbines. 

HumeBASE Precast Foundations offer a high-quality, low-risk alternative to traditional cast-in-place methods — designed specifically to meet the demands of remote, high-performance renewable energy sites.

Ten emerging leaders from across Australia gathered in South Australia to complete the second module of the Humes Future Leaders Program, with a strong focus on building operational and technical excellence.

Humes has delivered a major sustainability milestone at its Ipswich site, completing an infrastructure upgrade that moves the business closer to Holcim’s Zero Water Impact goal under the Health, Safety, and Environment Improvement Plan (HSE-IP).

Humes FutureCast precast concrete is a construction solution designed to meet the demands of modern construction. With a focus on environmental transparency, FutureCast is setting a new standard for responsible construction materials.

In response to the expected impact of Cyclone Alfred, we are taking proactive measures to ensure the safety of our people, customers, and the broader community. As a result our Ipswich site in the forecast affected area will temporarily close. 

Australia’s first zero emission aggregate heavy vehicle trial successfully completed to help decarbonise the construction industry.

Holcim introduces DYNAMax high strength concrete which combines traditional strength, performance, and quality properties with technical, innovation and service solutions to help dematerialise builds.

High strength concrete with a difference

The proven value of the HumeGard® system has made it one of the most successful stormwater treatments systems in Australia today; a wide range of models are available to provide solutions for normal and supercritical flow conditions.
