Pioneering partnership to ship record-breaking, eco-friendly instructional amenities by means of superior 3D building printing expertise
Doha, Qatar: UCC Holding, the main building and infrastructure firm in Qatar and Denmark’s COBOD, the world’s main producer of concrete 3D printers, have signed a contract to produce the world’s largest third-generation 3D printers that will likely be used to construct faculties in Qatar.
The signing ceremony came about immediately in Doha, between Ramez Al Khayyat, President of UCC Holding, and Henrik Lund-Nielsen, CEO and Founding father of COBOD, together with different dignitaries and key stakeholders.
A world-record setting and sustainable initiative
UCC Holding and COBOD will collaborate to construct faculties utilizing third-generation 3D printers, overlaying a complete space of 40,000 sq. meters, setting a Guinness World Document for the most important buildings constructed utilizing 3D printing expertise worldwide.
Sustainability on the core
The challenge locations a excessive precedence on sustainability, with COBOD’s superior 3D printing expertise particularly designed to cut back materials waste and enhance effectivity, leading to diminished concrete consumption, a essential think about lowering the carbon footprint of the development course of. Through the use of 3D printing, the colleges will likely be constructed with fewer uncooked supplies whereas guaranteeing structural integrity, making the development course of environmentally pleasant. COBOD expertise additionally permits the automated building of concrete buildings and buildings by means of improved designs that improve the effectivity of concrete and reinforcement use, which is in keeping with the State of Qatar’s sustainable growth objectives in line with Qatar Nationwide Imaginative and prescient 2030.
Moutaz Al Khayyat, Chairman of UCC Holding, said that he’s pleased with this essential partnership, “The partnership with COBOD is a leap not just for the development sector in Qatar, but additionally globally. We at all times try to undertake the most recent applied sciences that contribute to reaching sustainability and effectivity in our operations, and this challenge is a part of our dedication to reaching Qatar Nationwide Imaginative and prescient 2030. By this superior expertise, we set new requirements for sustainable building and contribute to lowering the environmental impression of our operations.”
Ramez Al Khayat, President of UCC Holding, confused the significance of this step for the corporate and the development sector generally, saying: “This partnership with COBOD represents a big step ahead for the development sector within the State of Qatar and the world. Adopting expertise in all fields is a elementary factor of our company technique, and adopting superior building strategies contributes to lowering the challenge’s labor necessities, enhancing the standard of labor, lowering waste, shortening challenge execution instances, lowering using supplies, along with lowering carbon emissions, and thus preserving the atmosphere.”
“Our partnership with UCC Holding and the colleges challenge represents an distinctive leap ahead for the development business pushing it years forward by way of use of the expertise, scale of the initiatives and goals for a extra sustainable future. By 3D printing, we are able to scale back waste, minimizethe use of supplies, lower down on CO2 emissions, and construct in a approach that respects the atmosphere,” mentioned Henrik Lund-Nielsen, CEO and Founding father of COBOD.
In keeping with the settlement, COBOD will present consulting on the design, manufacturing, set up, and supervision of concrete printers. COBOD may also present on-site coaching and technical assist toUCC Holding to make sure the 3D printing course of is carried out effectively.
Development for the 2 faculties is scheduled to start in 2025, and using COBOD’s third-generation 3D printers will guarantee a streamlined and environment friendly course of. Every faculty could have a two-storey construction, that includes a 100 x 100-meter footprint. The 2 BOD XL printers from COBOD could have a record-breaking measurement of 50m in size, 30m in width and 15m in peak every. The printers will function on the quickest printing pace potential, guaranteeing speedy completion whereas sustaining excessive requirements of security and sustainability.
