Novel Hybrid Geopolymers for Protecting Concrete Infrastructures
Date and Time: 21 October 2025 (12:30pm)
Location: Online, Teams
Sewer systems across the country are corroding, costing water utilities and taxpayers an estimated $982 million each year to fix or replace. But researchers from Western Sydney University have partnered with Australia’s two major water utilities Melbourne and Sydney Water to come up with a solution.
Join us on Oct 21st 2025 to hear about an innovation project developing a protective coating using the geopolymer zeolite to bring old corroded pipes back to full health. Chair Gavin Chadbourn will chat to project partners Mariam Darestani (Western Sydney University), Gerard Stephen (Zeolite) and Thomas Kuen (Melbourne Water) about their collaboration.
