‘The Cocoon’ Office Built in Record 40 Hours Using Innovative 3D Printing Technology
In a groundbreaking achievement, Godrej & Boyce, the flagship company of the Godrej Group, proudly announced that its vertical, Godrej Construction, has successfully erected and operationalized a 500 sq. ft. office within an astonishing timeframe of just 40 hours. This remarkable feat took place at their greenfield campus located in Khalapur.
Dubbed ‘The Cocoon’ owing to its distinctive curved elliptical design, the office was crafted utilising prefabricated modules through cutting-edge 3D Construction Printing (3DCP) Technology. The entire structure, from 3D printing to assembly, was completed within the remarkably short duration of 40 hours.
The comprehensive scope of the project encompassed the installation of 3D printed modules, civil works, waterproofing, flooring, external and internal painting, electrical works, lighting, AC installation, plumbing, drainage and sanitation fixtures, office furniture, and even landscaping—all achieved within the specified 40-hour timeframe.
What sets ‘The Cocoon’ apart is the environmentally conscious approach adopted in its construction. The office was built using a concrete mix design that incorporated up to 20% Recycled Concrete Aggregates (RCA). These aggregates were sourced from concrete debris recycled at the Godrej & Boyce Recycled Concrete manufacturing facility situated in Vikhroli, Mumbai.
This sustainable initiative not only demonstrates Godrej Construction’s commitment to innovation & efficiency but also highlights its dedication to eco-friendly practices by incorporating recycled materials into the construction process. ‘The Cocoon’ serves as a testament to the transformative potential of 3D printing technology in revolutionizing traditional construction methods and fostering sustainability in the industry.
