Gulf Construction|October 2024

UCC taps 3D printing for mega schools project

The signing ceremony took place last month in Doha, between Ramez AI Khayyat, President of UCC Holding, and Henrik Lund-Nielsen, CEO and Founder of Cobod, along with other dignitaries and key stakeholders.

UCC Holding and Cobod will collaborate to build schools using the thirdgeneration 3D printers. The schools will cover a total area of 40,000 sq m, setting a Guinness World Record for the largest buildings constructed using 3D printing technology worldwide.

The project places a high priority on sustainability, with Cobod's advanced 3D printing technology specifically designed to reduce material waste and improve efficiency, resulting in reduced concrete consumption, a critical factor in minimising the carbon footprint of the construction process.
