We are researching whether we can use new generation femtoseond lasers to clean the granite pylons of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. This is part of a larger project which is also researching cleaning the steel of the Bridge with lasers. Eventually we hope we might be able to mount a laser on a robot and get it to clamber around the dangerous high parts instead of a person. Lots of potential for cleaning old machinery and industrial facilities!
