Pioneering partnership to ship record-breaking, eco-friendly instructional services by 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 can be used to construct faculties in Qatar.
The signing ceremony came about in the present day 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 consider lowering the carbon footprint of the development course of. By utilizing 3D printing, the faculties can be constructed with fewer uncooked supplies whereas guaranteeing structural integrity, making the development course of environmentally pleasant. COBOD expertise additionally allows the automated building of concrete buildings and buildings by improved designs that improve the effectivity of concrete and reinforcement use, which is in keeping with the State of Qatar’s sustainable improvement objectives based on Qatar Nationwide Imaginative and prescient 2030.
Moutaz Al Khayyat, Chairman of UCC Holding, said that he’s pleased with this vital partnership, “The partnership with COBOD is a leap not just for the development sector in Qatar, but in addition 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 way of this superior expertise, we set new requirements for sustainable building and contribute to lowering the environmental impression of our operations.”

Adopting expertise in all fields is a basic component of our company technique, and adopting superior building strategies contributes to lowering the challenge’s labor necessities, bettering the standard of labor, lowering waste, shortening challenge execution instances, lowering using supplies, along with lowering carbon emissions, and thus preserving the surroundings.”
“Our partnership with UCC Holding and the faculties challenge represents an distinctive leap ahead for the development business pushing it years forward when it comes to use of the expertise, scale of the tasks and goals for a extra sustainable future. By way of 3D printing, we will cut back waste, minimizethe use of supplies, reduce down on CO2 emissions, and construct in a manner that respects the surroundings,” stated 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 will even present on-site coaching and technical assist toUCC Holding to make sure the 3D printing course of is applied 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 college 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 top every. The printers will function on the quickest printing velocity attainable, guaranteeing fast completion whereas sustaining excessive requirements of security and sustainability.
