Paramount Kent Artists Impression

Chinese construction firm SinoFortone is to plough £100m into plans to build Britain’s biggest theme park in North Kent.

The proposed £3.2bn London Paramount Entertainment Resort is planned to be built on a 388-acre site at Swanscombe Peninsula, formerly the country’s largest cement plant, which closed in 1993.

The Disneyland-style park is due to open in 2021 with a host of theme park rides based on popular television programmes and Hollywood films, as well as a theatre, water park, hotels and nightclubs.

It is yet to win planning permission, but has been classified as a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project.

The theme park is being developed by London Resort Company Holdings, a Kuwaiti-backed property firm, which is chaired by former transport minister Steven Norris.

It is the first of a string of China-related investments expected to be unveiled alongside President Xi’s state visit, the first from China in a decade.

3D House printing

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How 3d printing is transforming the construction industry.

A Chinese construction company has found a way to make houses pop up at the press of a button – 3D printed homes that could be assembled in under 3 hours. The two-storey show villa was built from pre-constructed components printed in a factory and later lifted into place using a crane, all under 3 hours, signalling a change for the global construction sector.

The new technology used by the Zhuoda Group, based in Xi’an, central China, is being kept carefully under wraps. While most construction companies using 3D printing technology use a cement base, the group is using an unnamed material for its villas. The printed homes cost just 3,000 Yuan (£300) per square metre to build. Compared to an average price of 36,000 Yuan (£3,600) per square metre retail price of apartments in China today, the profit margins are impressive.

They have already applied for more than 20 patents for their unique homes but the villas are not yet available on a mass scale. However, consumers are soon expected to be able to buy made-to-order villas with the rise of 3D printing technology among construction companies.

Another company based in Shanghai built the world’s tallest 3D printed building in January. The villa built by Winsun is five storeys high and cost 1 million Yuan (£100,000) to construct. The construction firm used four huge 3D printers, which are 21 feet tall and as wide as a basketball court.

The houses are built wall by wall from an ‘ink’ made up of a mixture of cement and environmentally friendly construction waste and claims to make walls that are even stronger than concrete. The company is now working in Dubai to build the world’s first fully 3D-printed office.
