CO2 Concrete
Researchers Vivian Tam (School of Built Environment) (opens in a new window) and Khoa Le (School of Engineering) (opens in a new window) have developed a recycled concrete product which is enhanced through pressurised carbon dioxide (CO2).
This material has been used to make biosecurity structures for the Hawkesbury Farm (e.g. structures for cleaning boots) associated with visitors coming onto the site.
The CO2 concrete has also been used on more structural features such as concrete pads under and around stock water troughs. These applications are continuously monitored to assess durability.
