Making Tough Concrete Posts

- Making Tough Concerete Posts is not the simple task you might think. There are serious engineeering challenges involved in making a post that not only resists the force of a post driver, but that flexes to absorb shock from neven the biggest stock. This week I go behind the scenes at Australian Concrete Posts to find out more about their processes.

This man making these posts is exemplary in his mannerism. Every post I have to replace, I would use his posts but way up here in Canader the shipping costs would be prohibitive. I really wish someone around here would manufacture posts like this but they don't.
Good attitude, good products, and very good advice for would-be entrepreneurs.!!! This video Should be shown to all school children at some point.😊
Stay safe. Niels.💖💕
Fascinating process. Good to see this quality being produced in this country.
Tim I will never need to use the products you demonstrate but I find it very entertaining to watch your vids.
I’m constantly inspired by the great people I get to work with
Tim, absolutely brilliant video, I have wondered about the concrete post for years. The lads who make them seem to on top of the quality control as well. Thans again,
Thanks Andrew for feedback and compliments
Very informative video, interestingly I've seen Brahman cattle jump a 2m high rail fence from a standing start when I worked at an abattoir.
Thanks Dale. We've heard some amazing jumping stories too! Brahman seem to be a unique beast.
What an amazing responsible and honest company !!
always interesting to see how the products we use are manufactured another great and informative video by Tim and Australian concrete post. great to see things made in aus
I really enjoyed watching this video, what a great company! I wish these posts were an option for me in the United States, Oregon.
good show, not far from my place.
All I have to do now is save up and afford to buy a truck full one day 😂😀
Absolutely brilliant video from beginning to end…hung on every word from 20:20 onward. Well done Tim and ACP. Thank you for the inspiration.
Great product. And inspiring business insights. Thanks!
Another Great video Tim 😃
Well done to all the team at ACP 😃👍
Many thanks for compliments.
Wow, what a interesting, informative and insightful video. Never occurred to me that a humble concrete post would have such thought snd science put into its manufacturing.
I love their philosophy on failure; it's one that more firms would do well to adopt.
Terrific and thanks
What a brilliant vlog and what a fantastic company their relationship with the customer and their work ethics are amazing thank you for sharing this video ps we are one country yet the rules forced on us by insurance companies is absolutely ridiculous , here in Tasmania if you hit a farm animal it’s the farmers fault but he gets no support from the government to maintain road side fences, yet if they widen main roads and highways they’ll spend big dollars on fences there but literally nothing on secondary and rural roads .
Excellent video. 👍🏻
So the pre stressing of the steel is primarily to allow the posts to pile drive them into the ground as to increase time efficiency as the customers require a large number of posts which requires a lot of time to fence.
Very interesting and insightful video and a top notch company. I didn't quite understand what the issue was in the early days when you cut the wire that was under tension and it shot like a bullet. What did you do to solve the issue? Pouring and allowing the concrete to set before cutting was the solution or something else?
While I'm on a roll with dumb questions.... How can a set concrete post shrink to shorten its length by 3" and not crumble?
Trade secret about the first question. Pre stressed concrete is under tension when it dries and shrinks. Bridge pylons do the same thing. Like compacting soil.
Very interesting. Sure looks like a "soupie" mix.
excellent video. very informative. at 16:39 there is some spalling developing at the end of the monier post but after 60 years the post was still super serviceable. it might fail after another 60 yers in the ground. for those users in an extremely corrosive environment, like next door to an acid factory, coating the post ends with a cement/silica fume paint would further hinder corrosion of the rods. i hope they store their steel wire out in the weather. light surface rust aids adhesion of the concrete to the bar.
Very interesting. Video!
Tim, we're in an area that is undergoing unprecedented flooding (NSW). Can you do a segment on fencing, what can be salvaged or not. 2nd major flood ripping everything out.
Mega dollars spent on Aus fencing material only to see it swept away.
What are the mistakes being made here & how can we do better. Thank you
Another great video. But I have never heard about the legislation around building fence ie how many wires/post. I have spoken to local & state government & they have never heard of anything like that. I am interested in where he got this information?? Would be interested In having a read.

Impressive product and great video. Can anyone point me to the regulations about roadside fences and distances between posts? Saw this and on the drive into town yday (in NSW) noticed that there was a fair bit of variation, some at least 5 metres apart. But I couldn’t find any specific regulations on the web?
G'day Andrew, sorry for the delay, Richard recommends the following sources of information;

Hope that helps mate.
@@FarmLearningTim Cheers, much appreciated
I would love to get them here in the US. Do they, at least, sell the mold?
You’d be very disappointed if you just poured concrete into a mould. There’s a lot of up in the process and the concrete mix used.
I can't for the life of me find any info on these boundary fence regulations. Any ideas Tim?
Check out my earlier response to another query in the comments. ACP gave me the references
Why not spend 10k more and modify the molds to work?
It could have been a lot better to explain why there were so many defective posts these posts are made in a mold and should not deviate from one post to another post.
Less than a pallet in a year of full production? Clearly you don’t work in manufacturing. The point is that they have great QA and catch them all.
