Title: Ecobond - Green Industries SA and Innovyz
Description: Ecobond Pty. Ltd. has developed CO2 Concrete, which has matched strength of virgin concrete, but with 10% cost reduction. This has highlighted our innovation, importance of technologies and future plans.
Title: New Colombo Plan Mobility Program, Chongqing, China
Description: We have been awarded the New Colombo Plan Mobility Program entitled, How to Reduce Greenhouse-Gas Emissions for Buildings? A Unified View. This proposed Mobility Project is employing a one-to-one approach: One higher-degree research student or researcher from Chongqing University will supervise one undergraduate student from Western Sydney University to conduct research activities on sustainable construction. This proposed short-term 9-week research from January to March 2018 for six Western Sydney University undergraduate students aims not only improving students??? training but also: (i) allowing them to gain fruitful cultural experience, (ii) strengthening undergraduate quality research training and education, and (iii) bringing cutting-edge technologies in construction management to Australia. We have produced the video to showcase what we have achieved, what the students have experienced, and for the future students who are interested into the program.
Title: Testimony from Professor Guiwen Liu for New Colombo Plan Mobility Program
Description: Professor Guiwen Liu, Dean of School of Construction Management, Chongqing University was pleased to host students from Western Sydney University and very appreciated the opportunities provided by the New Colombo Plan Mobility Program from the Australian Government.
Title: CO2 Concrete Development
Description: We have developed CO2 Concrete, by injecting CO2 into recycled aggregate for recycled concrete production under specific conditions.
Title: Ecobond Pitch
Description: We pitched for Ecobond at ASX Building in March 2018. This is the summary of our research commercialisation for the last 12 months with Innovyz Institute Pty. Ltd. We have been co-leading a Project team, selected in the Top 8 research teams in Australia by Innovyz Institute Pty. Ltd. and Green Industries SA, Government of South Australia, under $1.5 million funding supported by Green Industries SA, Government of South Australia, for an intensive 9-month Waste and Recycling Technologies Commercialise Program, since March 2017, focusing on innovative ways to reduce waste, enhance recycling or return waste as resources.
Title: Ecobond Pty. Ltd.
Description: We have invented CO2 Concrete, which is a new process for producing durable and high-strength recycled concrete. We have been injecting carbon dioxide into recycled aggregate for bonding improvement, and thus recycled concrete performance enhancement using our optimal mix design. This benefits the environment in two ways: (1) Lessening carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, thus we help reduce carbon emissions, address global warming, and solve climate change issues; and (2) Reducing landfill space by turning construction waste into construction material, i.e. our CO2 concrete???s performance can match that of virgin concrete, and even surpass it. Our processes can bring direct benefits to concrete batching plants as CO2 concrete can be effectively and efficiently employed. Many leading concrete suppliers have researched this capability, but none have yet been successful.
Title: Sustainable Construction Technology
Description: Vivian delivered a Keynote Speech at the Australia - Korea Research Colloquium for Smart Community via Advanced Technologies in December 2017. The event was sponsored by the Australia-Korea Foundation, and hosted by University of South Australia.
