More Chinese quick-build techniques developed

  An American web-site, Green Builder Media, reports a new Chinese development in the use of 3D very fast building techniques.

  In one project, WinSun (Yingchuang Construction Technique), used their technology to create and build the home in, what they say, was less than 24 hours.

  
  

  
  

  In another project (last year) using Last year, using " four huge 3D printers, Yingchuang New Materials Inc. was able to print the shells of 10 one-room structures in 24 hours and at a cost of only about $5,000 per building. The buildings had to harden at the factory and then be transported and assembled on site."

  This seems surreal.

  Do they have any video?

  Well, not really! When you realise how 3D printing is going to change the way humans do things, you'll start to see how different the future will be.

  The Chinese have a great need for better construction techniques. It is believed that another 200 million Chinese will move to existing and new Chinese cities in the next 20 years. Thats in addition to the constant re-building of Chinese cities. Hence the experiments. The only video I found for the above is this one that shows the 10 one room structures built. (as noted in the above report):

  Note that the basic component is building rubble (from demolished buildings) mixed with liquid cement, so that it can be "printed."

  Other nations are also experimenting with the technique. Here's a video of a project at the USC in the USA:

  The Chinese are also working with standardised, pre-fabricated components that permit very fast construction times.

  Think of this!

  Building a 15 storey hotel in 6 days

  It is not quite correct to say that it was built in 6 days. Yes! it was assembled in six days. But many hours of on-site construction work were saved by off-site manufacture of precisely dimensioned components.

  So, when they find the ships container filled with screws, bolts and rebar, someone is in so much trouble!

  Oh great.....let the JWs get this started and we will be back in the days of quick builds....
