Steel Association Signs Business Agreement with New Technology Association to Promote Construction Technology Development

Active Support for Small and Medium Architectural and Technical Firms Holding New Construction Technologies
Expectations for Increased Demand for Structural Materials and Construction Industry Development

[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Yoon-joo] The Korea Steel Association's Steel Structure Center (Steel Structure Center) has joined hands with the Korea Construction and Transportation New Technology Association (New Technology Association) to promote new construction technologies for steel materials.

The Steel Structure Center announced on the 21st that it signed a memorandum of understanding with POSCO Engineering & Construction, SK Ecoplant, Lotte Construction, and Hanwha Construction.

So far, construction companies have been striving to discover new construction technologies to be applied on-site to enhance safety and reduce costs. However, it has been difficult to find engineers to develop such new technologies. Conversely, small and medium-sized design and structural engineers have faced challenges in securing construction companies to apply these new technologies. To resolve these issues, the two associations plan to operate a one-stop matching service that collaborates with architects, engineers, and construction companies and further applies these technologies to construction sites.

In addition, the two organizations stated that they will actively cooperate in areas such as ▲ sharing policies related to steel materials and supporting technology development ▲ advising on and promoting new construction technologies for steel materials.
