Layer by layer, a 3D concrete printing machine has been building new homes in Dundalk from the ground up over the last two weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The three social housing units located at Grange Close in Dundalk, will be the first 3D printed homes in Ireland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The technology is said to speed up the construction process and use less labour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It uses 3D concrete printer erected on a gantry, which has been programmed to pipe concrete out following a digital plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It builds cavity walls from scratch, without using concrete blocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIts just the same as a concrete block wall. Instead of placing it manually by hand, the machine lays 50mm layers\u201d, said Justin Kinsella MD of Harcourt Technologies (HTL).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A 3D concrete printer is seen in action at the site<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs architects and engineers, we design the building in a digital model. That model is transferred to the printer and it tells the printer where to extrude material. The machine really just goes around and processes layer after layer of concrete and it works very quickly,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HTL is the construction tech company who has brought this technology to Ireland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It said that the houses in Dundalk will be built three times faster than they would using traditional concrete blocks and it expects to hand the keys over to Louth County Council this October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr Kinsella also said that this method uses a third of the labour normally required and also reduces the construction schedule by between 25-30%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt reduces labour by roughly a third, increases the comparative speed if one was doing it manually, by roughly three times and the overall construction programme helps housing be delivered 25-30% faster than it\u2019s current iteration. We see that getting far shorter as time goes on and as we optimise it further,\u201d said Mr Kinsella.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

At the moment, it takes about 18 minutes for the 3D printer to lay a 50ml layer of concrete around the three-unit block on the site in Dundalk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ii is hoped this time will be reduced to 12 minutes from next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In terms of cost, it is still comparable to concrete block construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe real cost advantage is the speed at which the housing is delivered. Costs can be reduced quite significantly if you\u2019re on site for 25-30% less of the time. That\u2019s the technology margin that we\u2019re looking at at the moment\u201d, Mr Kinsella said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before starting the pilot project on site in Dundalk, they built two test houses at their R&D facility in Drogheda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr Kinsella said that housing is the company\u2019s focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Test houses are seen completed at HTL\u2019s R&D facility in Drogheda<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe see the need as housing and we need technology that can do more with less resource, and really that\u2019s what this technology is about. It increases the output of housing with the same amount of resource\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company also said this method brings greater sustainability. Mr Kinsella said the concrete they are using is the \u201clowest carbon embodied printed concrete globally\u201d, and that there is less waste due to \u201cthe precise and exact placement of material\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the builders on site, 3D printed houses are an entirely new concept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project Manager at B&C Contractors Michael McBride said they have been building homes for 50 years, with pre-cast concrete walls, masonry block walls and timber frame structures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s great to be able to add another one into that and see where it fits into housing developments,\u201d he said of the new technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The contractor builds about 500 houses a year between the northeast and Dublin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr McBride said the 3D printer has not brought a \u201cmajor change\u201d to what they do, as it is still standard cavity wall construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just an automated process rather than a labour intensive process or off-site manufacturing process,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr McBride said he thinks the 3D concrete printing \u201cdefinitely has a place\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project Manager at B&C Contractors Michael McBride said 3D printing has not brought \u2018major change\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOverall the finished product is far superior strength wise to anything else we\u2019re doing so it\u2019s definitely going to take off,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those who want to be ready when it takes off, training is already being offered in the use of 3D construction printing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Louth Meath Education and Training Board (LMETB) has bought its own 3D concrete printer rig as part of its Advanced Manufacturing Training Centre of Excellence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The LMETB is now working with HTL to provide this training at its research and development facility in Drogheda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Director of Further Education and Training at the LMETB Sadie Ward McDermott said its programme gives those working in construction access to this technology, and more than 100 people have already completed the training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She said that this technology is important in the need to deliver more housing and also in the context of a challenging labour market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn Ireland, we are in the fortunate position where we are in a very buoyant economy. We\u2019ve got a very challenging labour market, and in looking at the technology, what it does also is it allows companies who are maybe challenged to get employees in, it allows the opportunity for them to continue to expand using the technology. Therefore, the labour market challenges are not as limiting and they can de-risk that challenge for themselves in using the technologies,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She said that the technology \u201caugments\u201d rather than \u201creplaces\u201d aspects of construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe building of a house using a 3D construction printer such as this doesn\u2019t negate the need for the craftsman, so you will still need your electrician, you will still need the plumber to do those second fixes\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut what this does, the scale and the speed at which you can build is significantly increased. And that, in a market where we understand there is a significant requirement to build and build at greater speed than we can currently do, this is definitely a technology we feel would be advantageous in the Irish market,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Justin Kinsella from HTL agrees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Justin Kinsella, Managing Director of HTL<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s technology but it\u2019s not autonomous and you do need personnel that are familiar with it, so it\u2019s a critical aspect. The machines don\u2019t just work on their own. It is critical to have the support of LMETB,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once completed, the three-bedroom units will provide homes to three families who are currently on Louth County Council\u2019s social housing list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Local Authority provided the land for this pilot scheme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CEO Joan Martin said she had been approached by the LMETB who wanted to showcase a local company, Harcourt Technologies, who were developing this technology for use in Ireland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLouth always likes to be at the forefront of anything and here we are again, the first in Ireland for building a 3D concrete printed house,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ms Martin said the pilot project is not a gamble because they are sure of the technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, she said it was hard to judge how efficient and quick it is from the first project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think it will get more efficient, cheaper and quicker. It gives us another option for quick build houses in Ireland, which we badly need,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project has garnered interest from other county councils around the country, who have sent representatives to see how the project works on site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s only when you see it you understand. It\u2019s something we haven\u2019t seen before\u201d, she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
