Vinci’s civil engineering subsidiary Freyssinet has set up a new company and factory in Dubai to 3D print concrete building elements for the United Arab Emirates’ construction market.
The new company, called “Concreative”, will print structural elements such as columns, helical stairs, beams, walls and facade panels, as well as furnishing and architectural elements.
