Description

DUE TO EXPECTED BAD WEATHER, THIS ACTIVITY HAS BEEN CANCELLED! A NEW DATE WILL BE PROPOSED IN JANUARY.

On 17 October 2017, the world's first fully 3D printed, pre-stressed concrete cycle bridge was opened in Gemert. Developed by BAM Infra in collaboration with Eindhoven University of Technology, the bridge is part of the Noordelijke Randweg Noord-Om. This ring road is currently being realised on behalf of the Province of Noord-Brabant.

In the first part of the lecture, integral design manager Johan Bolhuis and Manager Digital Construction Hans Laagland will discuss the production process as well as the material and structural properties of the bridge.

The second part will discuss the future of structural 3D printing in the construction and infrastructure sector and will be presented by Professor Theo Salet.

Structural 3D printing is a new development that is part of the further digitalisation of the construction and infrastructure sector. In a broader perspective, the digitisation drive is taking place in every technical sector. For this reason, the multidisciplinary Digital Engineering Working Group was recently established. After the lecture on the 3D printed bridge, chairman Anne-Roos van der Elst will explain the strategy of this working group.

The evening will conclude with the General Members' Meeting of the KIVI Construction and Hydraulic Engineering Section.
