Pioneering partnership to ship record-breaking, eco-friendly academic services by superior 3D building printing know-how
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 provide the world’s largest third-generation 3D printers that will likely be used to construct faculties in Qatar.
The signing ceremony passed off at present 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, masking a complete space of 40,000 sq. meters, setting a Guinness World Document for the biggest buildings constructed utilizing 3D printing know-how worldwide.
Sustainability on the core
The undertaking locations a excessive precedence on sustainability, with COBOD’s superior 3D printing know-how particularly designed to scale back materials waste and enhance effectivity, leading to lowered concrete consumption, a vital consider 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 know-how additionally allows the automated building of concrete buildings and constructions by improved designs that improve the effectivity of concrete and reinforcement use, which is in step with the State of Qatar’s sustainable growth objectives in keeping with Qatar Nationwide Imaginative and prescient 2030.
Moutaz Al Khayyat, Chairman of UCC Holding, acknowledged that he’s happy with this necessary partnership, “The partnership with COBOD is a leap not just for the development sector in Qatar, but additionally globally. We all the time attempt to undertake the most recent applied sciences that contribute to attaining sustainability and effectivity in our operations, and this undertaking is a part of our dedication to attaining Qatar Nationwide Imaginative and prescient 2030. Via this superior know-how, we set new requirements for sustainable building and contribute to lowering the environmental impression of our operations.”
Ramez Al Khayat, President of UCC Holding, pressured the significance of this step for the corporate and the development sector on the whole, saying: “This partnership with COBOD represents a major step ahead for the development sector within the State of Qatar and the world. Adopting know-how in all fields is a elementary ingredient of our company technique, and adopting superior building strategies contributes to lowering the undertaking’s labor necessities, bettering the standard of labor, lowering waste, shortening undertaking execution instances, lowering the usage of supplies, along with lowering carbon emissions, and thus preserving the setting.”
“Our partnership with UCC Holding and the colleges undertaking represents an distinctive leap ahead for the development trade pushing it years forward when it comes to use of the know-how, scale of the tasks and goals for a extra sustainable future. Via 3D printing, we are able to cut back waste, minimizethe use of supplies, minimize down on CO2 emissions, and construct in a means that respects the setting,” stated Henrik Lund-Nielsen, CEO and Founding father of COBOD.
In response to the settlement, COBOD will present consulting on the design, manufacturing, set up, and supervision of concrete printers. COBOD may even present on-site coaching and technical assist toUCC Holding to make sure the 3D printing course of is carried out effectively.
Building for the 2 faculties is scheduled to start in 2025, and the usage of 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 dimension of 50m in size, 30m in width and 15m in top every. The printers will function on the quickest printing velocity attainable, guaranteeing speedy completion whereas sustaining excessive requirements of security and sustainability.
