[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jong-hwa] Sampyo Group, a leading company in construction basic materials, is embarking on the development of blast furnace cement specialized for sopablocks. Sopablocks are blocks installed on coasts or breakwaters to reduce damage from waves.

On the 21st, Sampyo Group decided to form a technical partnership with Mirae Ocean Tech, a company specialized in sopablock construction, to develop blast furnace-type special cement for marine and port sectors. Sampyo Group and Mirae Ocean Tech plan to jointly apply for a patent for marine sopablocks using special cement.

Sampyo Group will develop high-performance concrete with high resistance to salt damage suitable for sopablocks, and will also introduce eco-friendly cement technology utilizing fly ash and blast furnace slag, which have carbon dioxide reduction effects. Through this, they expect to find a way to coexist and cooperate with small and medium-sized enterprises possessing excellent technology.

A Sampyo Group official said, "When Sampyo Group's high-quality materials are combined with superior quality sopablocks, competitiveness is expected to greatly increase not only domestically but also in overseas markets in the future," adding, "We also plan to support 'Spec-in' sales targeting large-scale social overhead capital (SOC) projects in the marine sector in a customized manner."

Meanwhile, about ten officials, including Lee Seok-hong, Vice President in charge of Technology Marketing at Sampyo Industry, attended the technical partnership agreement ceremony held that day. Mirae Ocean Tech is a sopablock specialized company with domestic patented technology (Hexacon) and has construction achievements in Homigot, Pohang, Gyeongbuk; Pungdo, Ansan, Gyeonggi; and Heuksando, Sinan-gun, Jeonnam.
