[Asia Economy Reporter Chunhee Lee] SK Engineering & Construction announced on the 20th that it has opened the country's first eco-friendly site office using modular construction methods.

SK Engineering & Construction completed the installation of a 740㎡ site office using a total of 22 modules at the construction site of 'Bupyeong SK View Haemoro' in Incheon, scheduled for sale next month. The modular construction method is part of smart building and OSC (Off-Site Construction) technology, where unit modules are prefabricated in an external factory and then transported to the site for assembly.

The biggest advantages are reduced installation time and eco-friendliness. SK Engineering & Construction took only two days to install this office, about 50% faster than conventional methods. Since the main processes are carried out in an external factory, uniform quality can be ensured, and there is no pollution such as noise and dust at the site. Additionally, after use at this site, the modules can be reused at other sites, which is estimated to reduce waste materials by 70-80%.

Inside the modules, the interior space design was specialized to create a comfortable working environment, including meeting rooms, offices, shower rooms, lounges, and restrooms, and the exterior design was also differentiated. A solar power generation system was installed on the office rooftop to replace part of the electricity used with eco-friendly renewable energy.

Jeon Seung-tae, head of the Architecture and Housing Division at SK Engineering & Construction, said, "This site office is the first project to introduce the OSC concept," adding, "We will present an evolutionary model of the construction industry by incorporating various solutions." SK Engineering & Construction plans to actively expand OSC-based methods such as modular construction to fully implement smart buildings in knowledge industry centers and logistics centers in the future.
