Pioneering partnership to ship record-breaking, eco-friendly academic services by means of 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 produce the world’s largest third-generation 3D printers that can be used to construct colleges 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 colleges utilizing third-generation 3D printers, protecting a complete space of 40,000 sq. meters, setting a Guinness World Report for the biggest buildings constructed utilizing 3D printing know-how worldwide.
Sustainability on the core
The venture 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 decreased concrete consumption, a important think about lowering the carbon footprint of the development course of. By utilizing 3D printing, the colleges can be constructed with fewer uncooked supplies whereas guaranteeing structural integrity, making the development course of environmentally pleasant. COBOD know-how 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 consistent with the State of Qatar’s sustainable improvement targets in accordance with Qatar Nationwide Imaginative and prescient 2030.
Moutaz Al Khayyat, Chairman of UCC Holding, said 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 try to undertake the newest applied sciences that contribute to attaining sustainability and effectivity in our operations, and this venture is a part of our dedication to attaining Qatar Nationwide Imaginative and prescient 2030. By this superior know-how, we set new requirements for sustainable building and contribute to lowering the environmental influence of our operations.”

Based on 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 help toUCC Holding to make sure the 3D printing course of is applied effectively.
Building for the 2 colleges 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 college may have a two-storey construction, that includes a 100 x 100-meter footprint. The 2 BOD XL printers from COBOD may have a record-breaking dimension of 50m in size, 30m in width and 15m in peak every. The printers will function on the quickest printing pace doable, guaranteeing fast completion whereas sustaining excessive requirements of security and sustainability.
