Professor Han Man-yeop awarded Republic
of Korea Technology Silver Grand Prize
- For the second
time this year, unique in civil engineering field
The
IPC (Innovative Pre-stressed Support) Earth Retention System developed in 2003
by Professor Han Man-yeop (Department of Environment, Construction and Transportation
Engineering) was designated as one of the Top 10 New Technologies of the Republic
of Korea in 2007, and Supportec, Ltd., which commercialized this technology,
was awarded the Republic of Korea Technology Silver Grand Prize 2007.
The
IPS method developed by Professor Han is a temporary installation method for
supporting the retaining wall to construct the subsurface structure after ground
excavation in civil engineering and building structure construction projects.
This method will shorten the construction period as well as reduce construction
costs and materials. The IPS method was designated as New Technology (No. 433)
by the Ministry of Construction and Transportation and New Technology (No. K054)
by the Ministry of Science and Technology. Also, it was awarded the 28th week
Jang Yeong-sil Prize in 2007. As of now, the patent has been registered in the
U. S. A. and Japan.
The Republic of Korea Technology Grand Prize
sponsored by the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Engineering and managed
by the Korea Industrial Technology Foundation is a technology award started
in 1999 and of the greatest scale in this country. Professor Han had his “PSC
I-type Girder Technology by Stepwise Introduction of Tensile Force” designated
as one of the Top 10 New Technologies of the Republic of Korea in 2000 as well.
Only these two technologies, developed by Professor Han, have ever been designated
in the civil engineering field.
