BM Partners completed Central Asia’s first 3D-printed house in Almaty, Kazakhstan. The 100-square-meter house was constructed in less than two months.
“Embracing modern technologies is essential in today’s world. Our company is committed to staying at the forefront of technological advancements with 3D construction printing within our country. With this project, our company has confidently stepped into the future, addressing Kazakhstan’s urgent need for earthquake resistant modernized, efficient and resilient housing solutions”. said Marat Oshakhtiev, CEO of BM Partners.
Almaty is situated in an area with a high risk of seismic activity, and the construction of the building is specifically designed to withstand an earthquake of magnitude 7. Additionally, The reinforced concrete enclosure surrounding the entire building is crucial for improving the structural strength of homes in earthquake-prone regions. Also, the beam belt is responsible for creating the distinctive top portion of the structure.
“This project once again demonstrates that 3D printed buildings are built to last, also when made in earthquake high-risk areas. We are proud to have developed the solution that enabled BM Partners to complete this project fully within just two months and using extra strong 3D printable concrete made from locally sourced materials”. said Henrik Lund-Nielsen, Founder and General Manager of COBOD International.
