Reduction of material waste

Within the consortium, the Witteveen+Bos engineering firm has been appointed as structural engineer and experienced expert in the field of 3D concrete printing. Hans Laagland and Marijn Bruurs (Structural Engineer) about the advantages of this technique: 'the 3d concrete printing technology is much broader and has the potential to achieve an enormous increase in sustainability.
