Daewoo E&C Exports High-Rise Building Displacement Management Technology to Hong Kong

[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo In-ho] Daewoo E&C announced on the 14th that it has signed a contract to apply its self-developed BMC (Building Movement Control) technology, which manages displacement during the construction of supertall buildings, to the construction of the high-rise complex tower 'Murray Road Tower' in Hong Kong.

Daewoo E&C won the second technical service contract in April and will carry out construction stage analysis, material testing, and on-site monitoring until the end of 2023. The total contract amount is approximately $220,000.

BMC is a technology that predicts deformations such as height and tilt occurring during the construction of supertall buildings in advance. It is evaluated as a high value-added technology that enhances building safety while reducing construction time and costs.

Over the past 10 years, Daewoo E&C has applied this technology to domestic and overseas supertall buildings it directly constructed, including Songdo Northeast Asia Trade Center, Malaysia KLCC Tower, and IB Tower.

The 'Murray Road Tower,' to which Daewoo E&C is providing BMC technology, is a project developing a parking lot site purchased by Henderson Land Development from the Hong Kong government. It is built on a site area of 43,200㎡, with 5 basement floors and 36 above-ground floors, reaching a height of 190 meters. It is located near the MTR Central Station in Hong Kong's central business district.

The world-renowned architectural studio Zaha Hadid Architects, responsible for the design, drew inspiration from the Bauhinia flower bud, a symbol of Hong Kong, to design the exterior.

A Daewoo E&C official said, "With this export, our independent technology and know-how related to supertall structures and construction have been recognized again in the global market," adding, "It is significant that our independently developed technology has been recognized and exported overseas in the supertall engineering market, which was monopolized by companies from advanced countries such as the United States and Europe."
