This training was organized to share key updates from the revised specifications and to provide guidance on the operation plan for the smart curing management system.

The training covered major changes such as the revised standards for cold-weather concrete strength correction at temperatures below 4 degrees Celsius, the restriction on concrete pouring when hourly rainfall exceeds 3mm, and the requirement to produce on-site curing test specimens.

The lecture was given by Noh Sungyeol, head of Capstone Safety Research Institute and an expert in construction safety and quality. Another session focused on practical training is scheduled for June 10.

Since March, Gwangsan District has been operating a smart curing management system at public construction sites with a total floor area of 100 square meters or more, as well as at sites subject to private architectural review.

The smart curing management system is a technology that enables scientific management of concrete strength estimation and formwork removal timing by measuring and analyzing temperature data generated during the concrete curing process in real time.
