Daewoo E&C Proposes 'Disaster Preparedness Specialized System' for Banpo 3rd District

[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo In-ho] Daewoo E&C announced on the 25th that it proposed a 'disaster preparedness specialized system' to the association in order to win the contract for the reconstruction project of Banpo Jugong Complex 1, Section 3.

Daewoo E&C will establish an earthquake preparedness system applying a seismic isolation design superior to seismic resistance design in Trilliant Banpo, the Banpo Section 3 reconstruction apartment. Daewoo E&C explained that by applying seismic isolation design, the building can withstand strong earthquakes of intensity 8 to 9 on the Modified Mercalli Intensity scale.

The seismic resistance design currently applied to most apartments reinforces the structure itself to resist seismic forces, ensuring building stability, but most of the building is damaged during an earthquake, making restoration difficult. Seismic isolation design is a new technique that installs seismic isolation devices (seismic dampers) on the structure to control vibrations, reducing seismic motion and forces, thereby securing building stability and making post-earthquake restoration relatively easier.

Additionally, Daewoo E&C plans to install a smart earthquake detection and alarm system that delivers alerts through living room wall pads installed in each unit when an earthquake of intensity 5 or higher occurs, and automatically controls elevators, lights, automatic doors, gas valves, and more.

They proposed minimizing earthquake damage through an earthquake-detecting elevator system that safely evacuates passengers to the nearest floor upon earthquake occurrence after boarding the elevator, and an earthquake-detecting gas shutoff system.

Besides the disaster evacuation specialized system, Daewoo E&C also proposed a noise reduction specialized system that can block everyday noise.
