Sand in the trough being transformed into bio-cement by adding a bacteria culture
In summary
JKR (public works dept) research visited us to see our ongoing research on bio-cementation
We have a partnership with the French multinational company Bachy Soletanche to develop a bio-cement using bacteria found in Sarawak.
Currently, tests are being carried out in a 10 m3 trough on campus. The initial results have been encouraging and the strength of the hardened soil at different depths is being worked on.
