Lotte Construction and System Support Jointly Develop Wireless Load Monitoring Technology

Overview of System Support Load Monitoring Technology.

[Asia Economy Reporter Donghyun Choi] Lotte Construction announced on the 15th that it has jointly developed the ‘System Support Load Monitoring Technology’ together with the Next-Generation Convergence Technology Research Foundation and Buildit.

This technology enables remote monitoring of the load on system supports, which are frame structures serving as supports before concrete pouring, using Bluetooth-based wireless load measurement sensors (load cells). Existing load measurement sensors (load cells) could only measure loads via wired connections and were expensive, making them difficult to use on temporary materials. However, the newly developed technology operates wirelessly and allows real-time monitoring during both construction and dismantling phases. The wireless load measurement sensors can also be reused after the system supports are dismantled.

A representative from Lotte Construction’s Technology Research Institute stated, “This technology is currently being applied at the Gwangmyeong Medical Complex Cluster Development Project (Sohwa District) construction site,” adding, “Since it can predict and manage safety in real-time during the concrete pouring process, it is expected to be widely used at construction sites to prevent accidents dramatically.”

In the future, Lotte Construction plans to further develop this technology to install it on system supports spanning multiple floors and on the lower parts of high-ceiling external system scaffolding, enabling remote safety management monitoring.
