Hyundai Construction Secures 'Interfloor Noise Level 1' for Beomcheon 1-1... Full Effort in Bidding Battle

Increase Floor Slab Thickness by 30mm to Secure Grade 1 Interfloor Noise Measurement Standard
"Minimize Additional Burden on Union Members with Golden Time Sales System... Ensure Stable Construction Cost Procurement"

[Asia Economy Reporter Yuri Kim] Hyundai Engineering & Construction announced on the 25th that it proposed construction at the Beomcheon 1-1 District in Jin-gu, Busan, achieving a 'Level 1 inter-floor noise' standard.

Hyundai Engineering & Construction stated, "We proposed 'Hillstate Iconic' for Beomcheon 1-1 District," adding, "It incorporates inter-floor noise minimization designs and exterior landscaping designs applied in high-end apartments in the Gangnam area."

Inter-floor noise is the biggest issue that can occur in residents' living spaces. In particular, impact noise on floors caused by children running is considered the main cause of inter-floor noise. To reduce this impact noise, the floor slab thickness must be increased. While some install thicker soundproofing materials to prevent inter-floor noise, Hyundai Engineering & Construction explains that simply thickening soundproofing materials has limitations in blocking impact noise caused by children running.

Hyundai Engineering & Construction's Future Technology Research Institute and Housing Design Team reinforced the floor slab thickness to 240mm, which is 30mm thicker than the legal standard. Additionally, they applied 40mm soundproofing material, twice the legal standard, raising both lightweight and heavyweight impact noise blocking performance to Level 1. Hyundai Engineering & Construction explained that this design is a premium specification recently expanding mainly in high-end apartment projects in Gangnam.

Hyundai Engineering & Construction also proposed designs in collaboration with the design group Callison RTKL, and premium landscaping designs. The landscaping area is three times that of typical residential-commercial complexes. They planted tree species effective for soundproofing around the complex to block surrounding vehicle noise and planned a soundproof forest for noise filtering along the direction leading to Beomnaegol Station's main road. Furthermore, a directional forest that blocks odors was created so that residents can feel a quiet and pleasant environment distinct from the outside the moment they enter the complex. On the rooftop garden accessible only to residents, one can enjoy a stroll while viewing the Busan cityscape. Including a 500m circular track on the 3rd floor, a total of 1.5km walking trails will be established.

Meanwhile, Hyundai Engineering & Construction proposed the 'Golden Time Sales System' for the first time in Busan to minimize the burden on Beomcheon 1-1 District union members. This condition, previously proposed at major Gangnam projects, allows general sales at the timing desired by the union. Hyundai Engineering & Construction said, "Strong financial soundness is essential to delay the general sales timing," adding, "Hyundai Engineering & Construction has a solid financial structure, enabling coordination of the sales timing to the optimal point desired by union members."

The Beomcheon 1-1 District Urban Environment Maintenance Project is a downtown redevelopment project on a 20,766㎡ site at 26 Beomil-ro 192beon-gil, Jin-gu, Busan, consisting of 8 buildings from 6 basement floors to 49 above-ground floors, totaling 1,511 households (1,323 apartments and 188 officetels), along with sales facilities and auxiliary welfare facilities. The complex features double subway station access, forest proximity, and elementary school proximity (Chopuma), making the bidding competition fierce.

The Beomcheon 1-1 District union, which held a joint briefing session on the 20th, plans to hold a general meeting to select a construction company on the 28th.
