CPAC (Concrete Products and Aggregate Co., Ltd.), a subsidiary of Siam Cement Group (SCG) has recently signed an MOU with Samsung E&A held at SCG Headquarters in Bangkok, Thailand to capitalize on Samsung E&A’s construction solutions.
While Samsung is well known for its telecommunication solutions, Samsung E&A is a total solutions provider for the global energy industry. Both parties believe that this alliance will bring the competitive expertise of Samsung E&A in construction solutions with the advanced tech solutions on cement & concrete products from CPAC.
Research and development priorities
As part of this MoU, both companies will focus on research and development (R&D) for material science, machinery, and knowledge exchange to advance 3D printing and special cementitious materials usage. The teams will specifically focus on higher efficiency in manufacturing & eliminating any errors to promote the advanced automation process.
As a reminder, construction 3D printing provides enormous benefits like accelerated building deployment & waste reduction. It also solves the shortage of skilled resources by eliminating the construction period & bringing down the construction prices compared to traditional construction.
Roles in the construction projects
SAMSUNG E&A plans to deploy 350 tons of its registered 3D printing mortar that can design challenging multi-level buildings with commendable strength to accomplish international standards & user demands. Whereas, CPAC will provide expert architectural services, tech & engineering assistance on 3D printing for building architectural design projects in Saudi Arabia.
A new trend is budding with the cooperation between Southeast Asia & the Gulf Region toward the advanced digitization goal. Over the past decade, the modern evolution of semiconductor manufacturing has been massively responsible for propelling Southeast Asia into the global marketplace.
