Conducting R&D on environmentally friendly construction
The Environmental Testing Block undertakes comprehensive research and development on the most advanced environmental technologies. This research and development seeks to resolve various environmentally related technical issues essential to urban planning and development projects through chemical tests, biological tests, and instrumental analyses. Comprehensive tests are performed by maximizing the effectiveness of specialized laboratories, analysis rooms, and incubation rooms to support research and development on more efficient, accurate, and reliable technologies.
Types of Testing
Ecosystem Preservation and Green Infrastructure Technologies
- Development of biodiversity and greening technology, and technologies to utilize green space functions
Technologies that Enable Safe Living
- Development of insect-repelling methods and insect-repelling construction materials for disease prevention and public health management
Environmental clean-up and Recycling Technologies
- Evaluation of water quality in rivers and other bodies of water, testing of environment clean-up technologies, and treatability testing
- Countermeasure tests for water quality control, soil remediation, and measures against odors
- Development and testing of purification agents, waste energy conversion, and new foundation agents
Development of Technologies to Achieve Sustainability and Globalization
