This is my first construction site after on-the-job-training, so it\u2019s my first time to place concrete on a roof.\u201d<\/p><p>The engineering method used to build the framework of the new KB headquarters is the \u201cstrut top-down\u201d technique, which reduces total construction time. A video made by the construction team demonstrating this new method won first prize in a Samsung C&amp;T internal video contest for innovative techniques.<\/p><p>Samsung E&amp;C Building Construction Engineer Kang Jae-min explains, \u201cWith the strut top-down method, we can simultaneously conduct earthwork and framework construction. This lets us reduce the schedule, so the framework takes 30 days for each floor, the same as the time needed to cure the concrete.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2e306be elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"2e306be\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/01\/KB-bank-construction-photo_2-1.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MzczNTEsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC9uZXdzLnNhbXN1bmdjbnQuY29tXC91cGxvYWRcLzIuMFwvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvc2l0ZXNcLzNcLzIwMjBcLzAxXC9LQi1iYW5rLWNvbnN0cnVjdGlvbi1waG90b18yLTEuanBnIn0%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"247\" src=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/01\/KB-bank-construction-photo_2-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-37351\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/01\/KB-bank-construction-photo_2-1.jpg 940w, https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/01\/KB-bank-construction-photo_2-1-300x96.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-32669d6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"32669d6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>During the building of the framework, the close-knit team battled many hardships, including a number of typhoons that moved through Korea. Together they erected tarpaulins and worked under them when there was only rain to contend with, but when the winds became too strong, they had to stop work altogether and take the temporarily shelters down. That meant they had to work doubly hard once the typhoons had passed to make up for lost time. With the completion of the building\u2019s skeleton on time, and the whole project scheduled to be completed by August, the team members feel extra proud of themselves.<\/p><p>The work of raising the curtain walls is now in full swing, and it is the fervent hope of Samsung E&amp;C that work on the new building will finish without accidents, and to the client\u2019s satisfaction. Samsung E&amp;C Quality Control Manager Lee Sang-gyu echoes this: \u201cI hope the building will be completed without accidents. And I also hope that employees of KB Kookmin Bank will be satisfied with the quality of the building.\u201d<\/p><p>While part of the team was busy putting up the framework, the rest was inside, laying the flooring and putting up the interior walls. This latter task had its own challenges, particularly when it was discovered that the materials originally bought were inappropriate for the project. Lee explained, \u201cWhen we examined stones for the interior, we studied three buildings that were already completed in Korea and used stones from Macedonia. But we found out that those stones were weak. Also radon testing showed that stones from the U.S. were found to emit radon 17 times higher than the acceptable standard, 148 becquerels. So, we needed to find replacements and change the design.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1f635cc elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1f635cc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/01\/KB-bank-construction-photo_3-1.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MzczNTIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC9uZXdzLnNhbXN1bmdjbnQuY29tXC91cGxvYWRcLzIuMFwvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvc2l0ZXNcLzNcLzIwMjBcLzAxXC9LQi1iYW5rLWNvbnN0cnVjdGlvbi1waG90b18zLTEuanBnIn0%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"247\" src=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/01\/KB-bank-construction-photo_3-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-37352\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/01\/KB-bank-construction-photo_3-1.jpg 940w, https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/01\/KB-bank-construction-photo_3-1-300x96.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9d2672c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9d2672c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The result was a painstaking search of five countries, including Vietnam, Italy, India and China, to find the right materials for the interior of the KB headquarters. \u201cThese stones came from Spain.
