Versarien completes highway construction project featuring 3D printing
The company has been working with Costain on a construction phase of a civil engineering project.

BY OLIVER JOHNSON 7 MARCH 2023 16:49

Advanced materials engineering group Versarien plc has announced the completion of the construction phase of a civil engineering project, which leans on 3D printing technology, undertaken with a subsidiary of Costain Group plc.

Versarien has been working with Costain to develop designs for and bring into production a 3D printed headwall.

The headwall was for use in highway construction projects, part of the Digital Roads of the Future Partnership, a collaboration led by the University of Cambridge, Costain and National Highways, of which Versarien is a partner.

Traditionally, the headwall structures had been made from precast concrete, utilising extensive steel reinforcement, and with limitations on the shapes of structures able to be precast. Through use of an alkali activated cementitious material (AACM), and 3D printing technology, the company has created a curved form headwall that it says is naturally strong and does not need the same reinforcement.

Versarien says that the approach has enabled steel to be entirely removed from the walls of the structure.

During the 3D printing process, a series of sensors have been installed in the structure according to a scheme provided from Cambridge University, which is working on the National Highways Digital Roads initiative. The data provided includes temperature and movement from the point of printing to the structure’s performance on site.

Neill Ricketts, Chief Executive Officer of Versarien, said: “We are delighted to have partnered with Costain to produce this innovative structure that we believe provides significant benefits over those produced using traditional manufacturing techniques. In utilising Versarien’s materials engineering expertise and understanding of the latest techniques, we have highlighted how new technologies can be employed to provide a solution to improve product performance, lower cost and reduce the carbon footprint.

“We believe this represents the first use of 3D construction on a National Highways project and we look forward to the headwall being installed, demonstrating the viability and attractiveness using this technology and Versarien’s know-how on future projects.”

Our UK R&D team are busy working with high performance concrete solutions incorporating graphene. Mike Higgins, our National Technical Manager, commented: “It is important that we work to develop innovative products and solutions that meet our customers' needs."

Remind me - are the locusts before or after the plague of boils and the death of the first-born? Asking for a friend...

[forgottenchameleon] 17/4/2023 21:44

Can we have something about locusts soon too please?

[sloppyjoe2] 17/4/2023 17:54

He IS the Messiah - and I should know, I've followed a few...

[jambojambo] 17/4/2023 17:50

And he said unto them "Listen not to he who claims to be the prophet of graphene for he be not the Messiah but an exceedingly naughty boy. Listen not to his implorings and golden words for they merely be cloaks and ephemera designed for the deprivation of thine shekels. Trust him not with his words of imminence and riches beyond the measure of avarice that lieth in the East and turn instead your ears for the words that lieth in his mouth for there they truly lie! He merely seekest to deprive you of thine pot of gold collected through much toil for his chariots of Musk and Martin. Seek out the truth laid bare in the account of his deeds for there lieth the ultimate lie"

Corinthians 3:6 (with a hat tip to Monty Python)

So there is that.

And a fool is just a fool fireball . We know which you are .

Same pattern trading make it look like it's rising so more fools buy then drop it at the end . 1p next stop and closer to deadline day . Judging by the lack of interest I'd say no funding is coming and the time will come they have to admit its game over in the coming few months .

Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

Proverbs 17:27-28 (New International Version)27 A man of knowledge uses words with restraint,and a man of understanding is even-tempered.28 Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent,and discerning if he holds his tongue.

If various projects were just about to come to fruition, would Ricketts have been resigned?

[66sequoia] 17/4/2023 16:06

They were at Longhope for the concrete pour so it is possible but as the name of the business park suggests....its a long hope! :-)

Try not to be stupid ALL of your life, have a week off.

Is Ping a vrs customer? They are using Graphene 2.5 on their new waterproofs.

[laginaneil] 17/4/2023 12:46

For the tech chaps, SpaceX rocket launches in 90 min

if everything goes to plan. 4800 Ton !!!


Plenty of scope for graphene tech in the space industry.

Wonder if NASA liked our graphene?

[kemche] 17/4/2023 12:25

The wise continue to average down while the foolish continue to sell.

[sloppyjoe2] 17/4/2023 12:08

Helen? Wise? Wonder how wise she feels right now. Have you asked her?

[kemche] 17/4/2023 12:06

"A wise man speaks when he has something to say. A fool because he has to say something"

Time was when nigh on 200 wise men would gather here to say wise stuff, now it's just the foolish saying foolish stuff whilst the wise sit quietly in the background. Poorer, but even wiser.

Helen and Mensa continue with the wisdom elsewhere.

[siggs44] 17/4/2023 11:54

Look at Cemex UK latest tweet.Good news for the graphene industry.

[cotswoldsparky] 17/4/2023 07:44

Fireball,

There is an old adage...

"A wise man speaks when he has something to say. A fool because he has to say something"

I'll leave you to decide what bones is😉
