Transport and infrastructure overview

Cars that run on hydrogen, buildings that are better designed, and fire proofing of our cities are just a few CSIRO projects to make our cities more liveable.

Building & Construction

Future buildings and infrastructure will be built to last longer, use more environmentally friendly materials in their construction, and provide a better ‘experience’ to users.

Fire Safety & Control

Our expertise with fire science and technology has delivered a track record in innovating fire safety design, developing fire-safe materials and improving public safety.

CSIRO develops technologies for the transport sectors that span road, rail, air, sea and even outer space with innovations in design, material science, computing technology and manufacturing processes.

CSIRO is helping revitalise our urban environment with new design, planning and engineering technologies.

Ensuring that Australian utilities are safeguarded and maintained in ways to meet the challenges of the 21st century.
