[Asia Economy Reporter Chunhee Lee] SK Engineering & Construction announced on the 12th that it has signed a win-win and technical cooperation MOU with excellent business partners Camu ENC, Yuchang ENC, and Jangpyeong Construction to expand its smart construction and OSC (Off-Site Construction) foundation.

OSC is a construction method in which building components are pre-manufactured off-site, such as in factories, rather than at the traditional construction site, and then transported and installed on-site. Recently, modular construction and PC (Precast Concrete) methods, which have been gaining attention, are representative examples.

SK Engineering & Construction plans to increase the application scope of the PC method for underground parking lots in apartment complexes up to 70% in collaboration with Camu ENC, a company specializing in PC manufacturing and construction. PC products are concrete products made in factories, offering uniform quality, strong durability, and significant time reduction effects. SK Engineering & Construction also plans to expand the application of the PC method to knowledge industry centers and logistics center construction in the future.

In cooperation with Yuchang ENC, a company specializing in modular manufacturing and construction, SK Engineering & Construction is developing modular site offices. The new site offices will utilize a sturdier steel frame structure compared to existing ones, allowing for more than three reuses after installation. Solar panels will be installed on the roofs, expecting to create social value through eco-friendly construction. The modular method will also be expanded to apartment rooftop structures, recycling, and bicycle storage facilities in the future.

SK Engineering & Construction is also jointly developing the improved CIP method (Reform Cast in Place Pile) with Jangpyeong Construction, a specialist in earthworks. The CIP method refers to a construction technique that forms retaining walls by installing concrete piles in a continuous sequence. It is evaluated to reduce both construction costs and duration by more than 5%.

Kwon Hyuksu, head of the Architecture Tech Group at SK Engineering & Construction, said, "We will strengthen mutual growth through continuous technical cooperation with our business partners."
