Andromeda Metals Ltd (ASX:ADN) has inked a Strategic Alliance Agreement with South Australian building and construction materials company Hallett Group.
The partnership has been forged by Andromeda Metals to take advantage of Hallett's extensive industry knowledge and reach to propel ADN’s asset Great White HRM™ to the forefront of sustainable construction practices.
Sustainable construction collaboration
Andromeda Metals and Hallett Group are now set to embark on a journey to develop and expand the market for Great White HRM™ in Australia.
Great White HRM™ is an innovation in the construction industry with a range of applications, including reduced cement concrete, reduced fines concrete, enhanced performance shotcrete, backfill solutions and various other building products.
Hallett Group, established in 1978, holds the distinction of being the largest integrated supplier of building and construction materials in South Australia.
It is renowned for its focus on supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) and a wide range of products designed to reduce the carbon footprint associated with concrete production.
The two companies have a shared commitment to environmental responsibility and technological advancement.
Focus on innovation and greener solutions
Andromeda CEO and managing director Bob Katsiouleris said: “We are excited by the promise of partnering with such a strong partner as Hallett, with their focus on innovation and greener solutions.
“This strategic partnership is multi-faceted, and the Green Cement Transformation Project represents a significant opportunity to decarbonise the cement and concrete industry in South Australia, and beyond.”
Hallett CEO Kane Salisbury said: “We are excited to partner with Andromeda and the opportunities presented by the potential commercialisation of Great White HRM.
“The partnership has the potential to assist us in expanding market share in the markets for low carbon concrete, shotcrete and fines reduction concrete, while also replacing some of the 300,000 tonnes of cement that Hallett Group currently imports each year.
“Under the strategic alliance, Great White HRM will be considered for inclusion as part of our $125 million Green Cement Transformation Project centred in Port Augusta, for which six years of research and development has been undertaken to date, and formulations to be used in Hallett’s work across the concrete supply industry, including iconic projects such as the upcoming $15 billion River Torrens to Darlington Project (T2D) major roadworks project undertaken by the South Australian Government.”
