Engineering brick, 230x110x76mm, high strength (110mm wall thickness)
Premium engineering brick manufactured from high-quality clay fired at elevated temperatures (1000-1200°C) to achieve Class 1 structural performance. Designed for critical infrastructure, foundations, and extreme exposure conditions including marine environments and bushfire zones.
- Load-bearing walls and columns
- Foundation and basement construction
- Retaining walls and marine structures
- Industrial flooring and heavy-duty paving
- Sewerage and drainage infrastructure
- Bushfire-resistant construction (BAL-FZ)
- Chemical-resistant applications
- Below-DPC (damp proof course) construction
Engineering bricks evolved from traditional clay bricks through enhanced manufacturing processes in the late 19th century. In Australia, production began in the 1850s with the industrial revolution. Modern engineering bricks are manufactured using precise clay selection, controlled firing at 1000-1200°C, and stringent quality control to achieve consistent high-strength properties required for critical infrastructure applications.
