• Recycled Plastic Aggregate in Lightweight Concrete Blocks, Final Year Academic Project, University of Abuja, 2024, Developed a concrete mix design replacing 12% of natural coarse aggregate with shredded HDPE plastic waste from water sachets. Achieved 18% reduction in block weight and 7% lower embodied carbon compared to conventional blocks. Conducted compressive strength tests (7, 14, 28 days) - met minimum standard for non-load bearing walls., Material testing, Waste recycling, Sustainable construction, Data analysis
• On-Site Plastic Waste to Trench Shoring Blocks - Feasibility Study, Personal Initiative / Departmental Presentation, 2023, Designed a low-cost mobile compaction station using modified drum compactor to turn HDPE plastic waste into interlocking trench shoring blocks. Proposed workflow for site waste segregation (plastic, metal, inert) and on-site block molding. Presented feasibility report to Civil Engineering department - recommended for pilot study., Creative site problem-solving, Waste management design, Cost estimation, Technical presentation
• ReCon - Recycled Concrete with PET Plastic Fibers, University Design Challenge - Winner, 2023, Created a concrete mix using 10% less cement by adding shredded PET strips from waste plastic bottles. Test results showed 15% improvement in crack resistance during curing and comparable workability to control mix. Recognized by faculty for innovative approach to reducing cement (high CO₂ contributor) using locally available waste., Innovation in construction materials, Laboratory testing, Sustainable engineering
