ACI-SC Concrete Project Competition 2020

HDB’s joint project with NTU, Additive Manufacturing Technology (3D Concrete Printing) for Construction won a silver award at the American Concrete Institute Singapore Chapter (ACI-SC) Concrete Project Competition 2020.

The award recognises the use of 3D concrete printing of prefabricated prefinished volumetric components (PPVC) for high-rise construction. Instead of using expensive steel moulds or tedious formwork fabrication, the concrete skin can now be 3D-printed to act as a ‘permanent’ mould, which then forms an integral part of the concrete component. The printing process is highly automated, reducing dependency on manual labour while improving productivity.

A reinforced PPVC room-size prototype was successfully printed to showcase the possibility of this technology. The innovative outcomes from the research include the development of a cheaper 3D printing mix design from locally available resources, and design software that is able to automatically check on the printable design and recommend optimal printing height and detailing, to ensure structural stability of the printed element.

The award honours innovative projects that leverage the technology of concrete composites and building construction to improve the quality of living through designing and building environmentally sustainable and liveable cities.
