2. Search the any companies and/or universities that specifically use the above mentioned new emerging tech
in civil engineering, choose one and make narrative research study on the company; Ask the 4W and 1H in
your investigation.
Sika is a specialty chemicals company with a leading position in the development and production of
systems and products for bonding, sealing, damping, reinforcing and protecting. Their leading technologies
service the requirements of Residential and Commercial Building, Mining, Automotive, Industrial
Manufacturing and Infrastructure projects around Philippines. They are known for its contributions to the
construction industry. They specialize in developing solutions, including 3D concrete printing.
Sika’s 3D concrete printing technology enables precise construction with automated processes, allowing
the creation of complex structures. It uses fewer materials, minimizes labor, and reduces waste, making
construction more sustainable.
This technology has been evolving over the past decade and has now reached practical use in construction
projects. Sika’s 3D concrete printing technology is used globally, including in the Philippines, addressing
both local and international construction challenges.
The goal is to revolutionize traditional building processes by making them faster, more cost-effective, and
environmentally friendly. By introducing automation in construction, Sika helps reduce project time and
material consumption, which directly contributes to sustainability.
Sika’s 3D printing technology works by utilizing advanced machinery that extrudes layers of concrete,
forming detailed structures without the need for molds. This allows for intricate designs and customized
builds with precision. Sika also collaborates with universities and other construction innovators to
continually improve the technology and explore new applications.
Through their focus on innovation, Sika is shaping the future of construction, making it more efficient and
sustainable.
3. Search the internet of application of IOT in civil engineering. Make a short video (1.5 minute minimum and 2
minutes maximum) and present your discoveries. Be creative with your video presentation. You may use any
available video editing software you have.
