3D-printed toilets at train stations: don’t poo-poo the idea. As seasoned travellers will know, many smaller UK stations don’t have toilets. To address this, a combination of Changemaker 3D, architect Baily Garner and concrete printing specialist CyBe Construction has led to the development of the 3D-printed toilet pod. The pods consist of three separate, modular wall elements, all of which can be printed in under five hours, emitting 60% less carbon than steel alternatives, the developers claim. The toilet roof incorporates solar panels. https://orlo.uk/1k4Si #ciob #construction #architecture #3dprinting #toilets #constructionmanagement #sitemanagement #surveying
