'Powerful Engine Development, Application of PosLST' Engineer of May

High-Power Engine Fuel Injection System Independently Designed Model and Domestic Product

[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Junho] Kim Dong-hoon, Manager at Hyundai Heavy Industries, and Cho Hyun-kyu, Executive Director at Daehan Construction ENG, were selected as Engineers of the Month for May.

The Ministry of Science and ICT and the Korea Industrial Technology Association announced on the 11th that the two were chosen as the recipients of the "2020 Korea Engineer Award" for May.

This award was established to encourage technological innovation in industrial sites and to foster a culture that values engineers. The recipients receive the Minister of Science and ICT Award along with a prize of 7 million KRW.

Kim, the winner in the large corporation category, was recognized for domesticating the design technology of medium-to-large diesel engine fuel injection systems, which had previously been dependent on imports.

The fuel injection system is a key component that most significantly affects engine performance. However, these parts were imported from companies in countries with advanced precision machinery industries such as Japan, Germany, and Switzerland.

Kim succeeded in independently developing the fuel injection system and created the "Himsen Engine." This engine, with its excellent performance and price competitiveness, rose to become the world's number one engine in the marine medium-sized diesel engine market.

Kim stated, "Based on the independent design technology of the fuel injection system, I will continue to develop new products that can respond to strict environmental regulations, so that the Himsen Engine can grow further in the global market."

Executive Director Cho was recognized for his contributions to highway construction by applying the new technology of "tunnel-type noise barriers."

He applied a new technology called the PosLST method on site, contributing to cost reduction and shortening of construction periods. This method is a new technology that can reduce material costs compared to existing methods and is expected to improve safety by lightening the load on structures.

Cho said, "I will strive to improve the technological capabilities and competitiveness of the domestic civil engineering field through continuous development and utilization of new technologies."
