CoMLaG graphene concrete project achieves key on-site milestone
[]
European Coatings
In April 2025, the Graphene Engineering Innovation Centre (GEIC), Cemex UK, Galliford Try, Sika and Northumbrian Water completed the first practical application of CoMLaG concrete at a Northumbrian Water wastewater treatment facility.
To offset the typical strength losses from clinker reduction, a graphene-based additive developed at GEIC was introduced to enhance strength gain.
The pour was monitored using Cemex’s i-Con maturity monitoring system, which provided real-time curing and strength data under site conditions.
While early-age strengths were lower due to reduced clinker content, the inclusion of graphene significantly narrowed the gap.
