Hanwha Construction Division has developed 'PC (Precast Concrete) Balcony Jointing Technology' and completed a full-scale mock-up trial construction on the 11th.
Recently, interest in balcony designs that add three-dimensionality to building facades and provide outdoor resting spaces has been growing, particularly in areas where the installation of cantilevered open balconies is becoming active, such as Seoul. Due to their structural characteristic of protruding beyond the exterior wall of a building, the joint connecting the balcony to the main structure is considered a key element for cantilevered open balconies. Additionally, technology is required to ensure worker safety during the construction process.
In response to these technical requirements, Hanwha Construction Division jointly developed 'PC Balcony Jointing Technology' with Samil C&S and Wontop Structural Engineering, completing a patent application in July. Subsequently, on the 11th of this month, it completed a full-scale mock-up trial construction to verify the constructability of the technology.
An official from Hanwha Construction Division, who spoke with this outlet over the phone, said, "This PC Balcony Jointing Technology was developed to reduce the risks associated with working at heights that occur during the construction of existing cantilevered open balconies and to improve the precision and quality of the joint."
