Samsung C&T Establishes 'Floor Noise Research Institute'... Deploying Master's and Doctoral-Level Experts to Develop Solutions

[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Jiwon] Samsung C&T is establishing the 'Interfloor Noise Research Institute' to find solutions to the growing social issue of apartment interfloor noise.

Samsung C&T's Construction Division announced on the 16th, "We have implemented an organizational restructuring to proactively respond to the rapidly changing business environment," adding, "In particular, to fulfill the role of a company as a key player in solving social problems, we have decided to establish the Interfloor Noise Research Institute."

Samsung C&T is creating a research organization for interfloor noise because the issue has recently escalated into a social problem, leading to an increase in related disputes.

The Interfloor Noise Research Institute will be composed of about 10 master's and doctoral-level personnel under the ENG Center, with the head of the institute being the vice president-level ENG Center director. This signifies a commitment to responsibly address social issues beyond merely supplying quality housing.

The institute plans to comprehensively study technologies and solutions to reduce interfloor noise, ranging from analyzing causes and current conditions to materials, structures, and new construction methods.

The secured technologies will be gradually applied to apartment and other multi-family housing construction sites through continuous experiments and verification.

Kim Jaeho, Vice President of Samsung C&T's ENG Center, who will lead the Interfloor Noise Research Institute, stated, "We have consistently developed and applied technologies to improve residential performance, including interfloor noise, and moving forward, as a key player in constructing multi-family housing, we plan to take greater responsibility for the social issue of interfloor noise."

Meanwhile, Samsung C&T decided to maintain its existing three-division system?Architecture and Civil Engineering Division, Plant Division, and High-Tech Division?in the regular organizational restructuring held that day.
