​Graphene-enhanced concrete trial shortlisted for green innovation award 

A novel concrete formulation, CoMLaG, developed through collaboration between the Graphene Engineering Innovation Centre (GEIC), Cemex UK, Galliford Try, Sika, and Northumbrian Water, was recently trialed at a Northumbrian Water site in Sedgefield

It was now reported that this trial has been shortlisted for a 2025 Building Innovation Award in the Best Carbon Reduction Innovation or Practice category. Galliford Try were in the process of delivering a £3 million project to upgrade the STW, and the site was chosen to install a vehicle track using the special concrete mix containing graphene, alongside micronized limestone.
