High frequency remote water quality monitoring

6 - Clean Water and Sanitation

High-frequency water quality monitoring technology has considerably improved in the last decade. New generation optical sensors allow for reliable, in-situ monitoring, with real-time data often remotely accessible through the cloud. Since 2020, two mobile water quality stations have been built, consisting of trailers with solar panels, batteries, pumps and sensors;…

Mechanical properties and deformation mechanisms of martensitic Ti6Al4V alloy processed by laser powder bed fusion and water quenching

9 - Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure

Martensitic Ti6Al4V samples were fabricated by laser powder bed fusion additive manufacturing, water quenching of wrought and the additively manufactured Ti6Al4V samples respectively, their microstructural characteristics, tensile properties and deformation behaviours have been investigated in this study. These samples showed differences in grain orientations, size of the prior β grains,…

A published book on “Sustainable Pipe Jacking Technology in the Urban Environment – Recent Advances and Innovations”

9 - Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure

This book is the brainchild of the lead author (Dr. Ong), who subsequently invited his peers, ex-PhD students and current PhD students to collaborate and contribute to writing a geotechnically-advanced book that encompasses the authors’ and contributors’ research and practical experiences gained principally on sustainable & innovative construction of green…
