Dubai: The Dubai Municipality has developed detailed programs for the implementation of three-dimensional (3D) buildings and a number of regulatory frameworks, including technique, legislations, and codes, WAM reported Wednesday.
Engineer Essa Al-Maidoor, Deputy Director-General of Dubai Municipality and Chairman of Application System of the Construction of 3D Printing Technology, said the technology will reduce execution durations and wastage in the use of building materials.
He added that the introduction of this technology would also reduce the number of construction laborers that can be re-allocated to other projects elsewhere.
Engineer Abdullah Rafia, Assistant Director General for Engineering and Planning, who is also a member of the committee, said: "The municipality has contacted a number of leading companies which have vast experience and were invited to get acquainted and benefit from their expertise”.
He added that the municipality will also conduct workshops with selected companies in which the steps for implementing the technology in Dubai will be discussed.
Engineer Khalid Mohammed Saleh Al-Mulla, director of Buildings Department at the municipality, said innovating and rolling out any new rules governing buildings will have a direct impact on the construction industry, and must have legislations that streamline the work based on the new technology.
"A general frame for the laws have been laid, and the rules were already amended to match with the new technology”, he said.
