The MCST-funded Double C Block project is one step closer to industry.
The prototypes will be showcased at MARE SUMMIT 2023, the national Property Summit for Construction, Real Estate and Architecture. After presenting at the Sdewes Conference, held in Paphos Cyprus in November 2022, where the most salient scientific aspects were discussed, is now the time to look for market validation and collect insightful results for further improvements.
This is a necessary step before mass production is required to jump from Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 3 to 7. TRL 7 means a System (full-scale) prototype demonstration in a real operational environment at pre-commercial scale: this was achieved during 2022 with the construction of the test cells and several long-term in-situ measurements were carried out (both acoustically and thermally).
The project is led by Prof. Vincent Buhagiar, Dr Simon P. Borg, and RSOII MPhil Candidate Luca Caruso. The commercial partner is CementStone Mfg, a company part of Attard Bros Group.
