TAFE Queensland’s newest Robina campus is designed to support the next generation of skilled workers—adding 2,000 additional student places and boosting the Gold Coast’s annual training capacity to more than 15,000 learners. With such a high‑traffic, high‑performance environment, the project required a flooring solution that could deliver durability, moisture protection, and long‑term reliability.
To meet these demands, the project team selected Oxtek’s X220 Moisture Fix®, supplied by Polyflor, as the preferred concrete treatment system.
Project Overview
- • Project: TAFE Queensland – Robina Campus
• Project No.: 220702
• Location: Robina, QLD
• Date: July 2022
• Supplier: Polyflor
• Product Used: X220 Moisture Fix®
The Robina campus includes specialist training facilities and modern learning spaces, all of which rely on stable, moisture controlled subfloors to ensure the longevity of floor coverings and coatings.
Why X220 Moisture Fix® Was Selected
Concrete moisture is one of the most common—and costly—issues in flooring failures. The Robina TAFE project required a system that could meet the moisture suppressant requirements of AS1884:2021 while also supporting a fast-paced construction schedule.
X220 Moisture Fix® delivered on all fronts.
