Monthly RTD Webinar - NSW Government Low Carbon Concrete Specifications

Join The Roads & Transport Directorate’s October webinar, exploring recent updates to the NSW Government Low Carbon Concrete (LCC) Specifications. This collaboration between the University of Technology Sydney, NSW DCCEEW, the EPA, and SmartCrete CRC builds on NSW DCCEEW specifications to align with local council building standards and TfNSW’s B80 and R83 infrastructure specifications. The project is now entering the implementation phase, with various NSW Government Agencies and local councils being early adopters, including Sydney Water, Blacktown City Council, and the Hunter Joint Organisation. The webinar will provide an overview of the changes and practical guidance to support the uptake of lower-carbon materials. It will also feature a case study from Sydney Water on their experience and lessons learned, and an introduction to the Low Carbon Concrete Accelerator program for councils. Join our webinar to learn how the updated specifications can help councils improve the sustainability of infrastructure projects. Presenters Alberto Jimenez Senior Project Officer DCCEEW Liam Martin Post-doctoral Research Fellow University of Technology Sydney Dr Liam Martin is a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Technology Sydney, specialising in concrete durability, cement chemistry, and materials science. Their PhD project investigated the long-term durability of concrete materials used in bridges, dams, and highway structures, contributing to the development of Australian standards. Liam is a young member of the Concrete Institute of Australia and of international RILEM, involved with committees, conferences, and webinar events. Liam’s current work is with SmartCrete CRC; supporting government agencies in the use of low carbon concrete towards sustainable construction and structures across Australia.
