Milestone Achiever

L&T has reached a milestone to successfully 3D print a G+1 (ground plus one) building with reinforcement for the first time in India. This achievement will certainly give a boost to the mass housing segment and help the country achieve its objective of creating 60 million houses under the Housing for All by 2022 programme. According to M V Satish, Whole-Time Director & Senior Executive Vice-President (Buildings), L&T, “3D concrete printing is one of the technology disruptors with the potential to radically redefine construction methodologies. It will not only accelerate the pace of construction but significantly improve build quality.” The building, with 700 sq ft built-up area, has been built at the company’s Kanchipuram facility with a special, in-house developed concrete mix using indigenously available regular construction materials.
