Civil Newsletter [Season Letter] (February 2020)

The metal road construction method is suitable for road construction in mountainous areas. It is a three-dimensional frame prefabricated bridge consisting of steel pipe piles and H-shaped steel, with a grid section and floor slab.

The "Metal Road Construction Method" is a three-dimensional frame prefabricated bridge where the piles, cross beams, and main beams are rigidly connected at the nodal points. It is mainly suitable for road construction on steep slopes in mountainous areas. We apply the appropriate structural type according to the terrain and construction conditions. We offer options such as the "Widening Type," "Mountain Side Cantilever Type," and "Independent Type." The suitable structural type is applied based on the terrain and construction conditions. 【Features】 ■ Excellent seismic resistance ■ Easy transportation and installation of components ■ Short on-site construction period ■ Widening possible while ensuring existing traffic ■ Consideration for the natural environment ■ Abundant track record *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

• Special Construction Method

This is a reinforcement method for RC members using lattice steel plates (steel plates processed in a lattice shape). The reinforcement cross-section can be made thin, and it can reduce labor on site.

■ Grid metal is a product that reinforces deteriorated RC structures by integrating with polymer cement mortar. By processing steel plates into a grid pattern, it allows for a thinner reinforcement layer, making on-site work more efficient. ■ It is used for reinforcing the underside and top side of RC bridge decks, repairing and reinforcing deteriorated box culverts, and reinforcing RC beams. By reducing the repair thickness, it enables a reduction in repair loads and ensures the maintenance of internal space. ■ Features of the grid metal method: ◎ Since it is processed in the factory to match the shapes of tunnels and box culverts, it can streamline on-site construction. ◎ With vertical and horizontal bars on the same plane, the reinforcement cross-section can be made thinner, minimizing the increase in dead load and favorably ensuring internal space. ◎ By applying corrosion protection treatments such as hot-dip galvanizing and epoxy resin coating, it excels in corrosion resistance and contributes to the longevity of structures. * For more details, please request materials or view the PDF data from the download section.

We will introduce the implementation results of the sensor technology developed by the Hotron Group, which has been cultivated over more than half a century, through customer case studies. In addition to automatic door sensors, we also offer a wide range of vehicle detection sensors and nursing/care sensors. We have many implementation examples available, so please take a look at the case study page.

iPick Co., Ltd., a partition manufacturer, will explain the definition of non-combustible materials under the Building Standards Act and their importance in office interiors. Fire-resistant materials are classified into three categories: non-combustible, quasi-non-combustible, and flame-retardant, based on safety during a fire. At iPick, we handle aluminum partitions that have received non-combustible certification, demonstrating high fire resistance, which is required by "interior restrictions" depending on the size and use of the building. Selecting appropriate materials is crucial not only for protecting the lives of employees but also from the perspective of asset protection and business continuity planning (BCP). We propose the creation of safe spaces that balance compliance with regulations and design. ＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊ For the design and construction of interior partitions from offices to toilet booths, leave it to iPick, the partition specialist manufacturer!
