Abstract

Recently, The importance of modular construction method has increased by market environmental change. However, it's application in the actual project is restricted due to the lack of understanding of modularization and the absence of utilization system. To overcome this problem, this study propose the decision-making model for selecting modular or conventional (stick-built) construction method at early stage. First the needs of modular method in plant project is derived and the benefits and barriers of modular construction are analyzed through literature review. Based on this analysis, 6 decision-making factors covered project and modular characteristics are derived and the decision-making model is developed. Finally, 12 actual overseas project cases is evaluated by this model for verifying its applicability. This proposed model can provide the guideline to select the construction method in early stage for successful execution of plant project.

최근 생산성 향상의 필요성과 함께 시장 환경 변화에 따른 극오지 및 격오지 공사 수행의 필요성으로 인하여 플랜트 프로젝트에서의 모듈러 공법 적용이 확대 추세에 있다. 그러나 모듈러에 대한 실질적인 이해부족과 관련 시스템의 부재로 실제 프로젝트의 모듈러 공법 적용은 어려운 상황이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 사업 초기단계에 프로젝트의 시공 방식(Stick-Built, Modular) 결정을 지원할 수 있는 의사결정 모델을 제시하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 모듈러 적용의 이점과 장벽에 대한 분석을 실시하였고, 프로젝트 및 모듈러 공법의 특성과 사업초기단계 가용데이터를 고려하여 총 6개의 모듈러 공법 의사결정인자를 이용하는 의사결정 지원 모델을 개발하였다. 본 연구에서 제시하고 있는 의사결정 모델은 사업 초기 단계에서 가지고 모듈러 적용 가능성을 1차적으로 평가하였다는 점에서 기획 단계에서 플랜트 프로젝트의 모듈러 공법 적용을 고려하는 하나의 도구로써 활용이 가능할 것이라판 단된다.
