The challenge
Develop modular, repeatable printed concrete barrier systems for the Western Harbour Tunnel works, with ACCIONA.
The solution
Barriers are the ideal case for printing: one profile, made hundreds of times, where every unit has to match the last. Printing sets the profile in the file rather than in a mould.
Printing & technology
A change to the design costs a file edit instead of new tooling, so a run can start the same week.
