Project Background

Coming from 20 years experience in the construction industry, our client observed the difficulty bricklayers have with cleaning up concrete slurry. Faulty disposal of which results in council fines, loss of clients, ending up in storm water drains, harming the environment and wasting water.

The Process

We aimed to create a simple method that improves the clean up process, while reducing run-off water contamination. We produced multiple prototypes, conducted user testing to ensure that the product will be readily adopted in the market. We managed the overseas manufacture process, liaised with potential investors and developed a business strategy for the commercialisation of the product.

The Results

A portable filtering system that provides a simple environmental solution for efficient disposal of cement slurry. A heavy-duty recyclable polypropylene tub that has replaceable biodegradable filter components, designed to drain cleared water quickly.
