As precision engineering and fabrication specialists, we work across various sectors and that includes construction. As such, we keep our fingers on the pulse of any new developments and few are as exciting as 3D-printed homes. Previously considered a method for product prototyping, 3D printing has changed drastically in the last few years extending to building homes around the world and on Mars. Now, ICON and Lennar are building the biggest ever neighbourhood consisting of 3D-printed homes.

In construction, concrete is used to form the foundations, columns, beams, slabs and other load-bearing elements. Today’s concrete is strong, durable, versatile and economical but it doesn’t compare to concrete from the Roman era. A recent discovery may be able to provide the answer to why it was so much stronger.

Steel construction is becoming increasingly popular all over the world with many of the top architectural wonders consisting of steel, whether it’s structural, carbon or rebar. Many industries rely on steel products and structural steel fabrication services as its more eco-friendly and offers faster construction, among many other benefits.
In the construction world, steel is commonly used for structural support in buildings, bridges and other large-scale projects. These designs are often complex and demanding as they require the highest integrity and capable of withstanding all sorts of conditions. In this article, you’ll learn more about what structural steel fabrication is and why it’s imperative to choose the right engineering company.
