Using 3D Concrete Printing to Reduce Carbon Footprint

This contractor has used 3D concrete printing to produce the capping beams for a sheet pile flood wall.

The beams have a lower embodied carbon than traditional cast in-situ or precast concrete beams and therefore this has helped to reduce the site’s carbon footprint.

Each beam is also bespoke, using 3D printing allows each beam to be made to the actual onsite dimensions, avoiding the need for any onsite adjustment or modification.
