Throwing this out as a thought bubble perhaps some have better cement tech knowledge than me.

The civil construction e.g hi-rise buildings bridges etc would seem to benefit from the improvement in physical properties. These would reduce mass of the structure and hence CO2 content and possibly overall cost. Is the issue that approvals are significantly more demanding than roads or is it cost? Or the fact that people are in the structures?

The dumbest use i.e. use in roads are the current interest. But what about other structures such as dams or weirs? The three Gorges Dam is not well known for its structural integrity given quite a bit of concern that 600 million people live downstream of it and apparently shutting down/stifling by the CCP of the Chinese engineers that were against construction of the Three Gorges for many years?

Is it a wet dream to think that something akin i.e. a large dam, could be a potential application using graphene that solves some of the cracking and movement issues seen in the Three Gorges if graphene were incorporated, or is it again simply the process of getting through regulatory issues? .

About 447 large dams are under construction in India alone. I also saw a paper "Ageing Water Storage Infrastructure: An Emerging Global Risk". There are at least 58,700 large dams in place globally. Seems on its face to me that there could be a market. There could be 3-4 million cubic metres of cement in a dam. That could represent one hell of a lot of of graphene demand.

A good summary.

A commentary? Well then, I am glad that the partnership with Breedon, Morgan Sindall and others exists for these questions. Dont you think so too? For example: Lower permeability is essential for UHPC. But there are so many different requirements for concrete and the market is huge.

And for the goal: improvement there is this beautiful story from Sika: use translator:
