Hanwha Construction announced on the 13th that it signed a 'Joint Agreement for Smart Formwork Development' with Plus Deck Co., Ltd. on the 12th at the Hanwha Building in Janggyo-dong, Seoul.

Plus Deck Co., Ltd. is a company specializing in the production of deck plates and possesses various new technologies and construction methods using deck plates. Through collaboration with Hanwha Construction, they plan to expand the application of their existing technologies and proceed with additional development.

Deck plates are steel sheet materials integrated with rebar used for slab purposes. The existing formwork process involves manual assembly on-site, which requires significant labor costs and carries a high risk of safety accidents. By applying Plus Deck's deck plate technology to formwork, the formwork materials can be manufactured in factories, minimizing labor input and expected to shorten construction time and reduce costs.

Yoon Yong-sang, Head of the Architecture Business Division at Hanwha Construction, stated, "We expect this to be an opportunity not only to reduce costs but also to prevent safety accidents, improve construction efficiency, and further strengthen our competitiveness in securing orders."
