Impact

Project outcomes will tremendously impact societies and economies, potentially becoming a lynchpin component enabling HK, the mainland and other countries to achieve their ambitious sustainability targets.

  • 1-3 years—Q-leak in HK

  • 4-10 years—expanding to HKUST-GZ and to cites agreed with partners

  • Beyond 10 years—going Global

​

There are 7 main impacts. 

  • Leakage prevention

  • Non-intrusive screening for R3 (repair, rehabilitation & replacement)

  • Failure prevention

  • The world’s first meta-pipes

  • High salaried professionals

  • Other pipeline infrastructure

  • Jobs

​​

We have established a Broad Impact Committee (BIC) governance committee and protocols to assure the 7 impacts. BIC includes members with track records in Technology and Knowledge Transfer (TKT), entrepreneurship, venture investment and technology-commercialization, and successful start-ups. Our industry partners have expressed full support to assist in the implementation, production and commercialization of the project outcomes.
