Pujiang Laboratory · An R&D Stronghold for AI and Frontier Technology
Pujiang Laboratory is a high-level scientific research institution focused on cutting-edge fields such as artificial intelligence and intelligent science. It carries the critical missions of fundamental research, key technology breakthroughs, and industrial transformation. As a key carrier for next-generation information technology and AI research, the laboratory hosts a vast array of high-performance computing equipment, data processing terminals, intelligent algorithm R&D platforms, and collaborative research spaces.
In AI and high-tech R&D scenarios, the massive computing equipment, dense network communication nodes, and frequently iterated workstation layouts impose comprehensive technical requirements on the underlying ground infrastructure that far exceed those of ordinary office environments. A stable, reliably cabled, acoustically comfortable, and flexibly reconfigurable raised access floor system is essential infrastructure for supporting efficient frontier scientific research.
II. Project Requirements & Challenges | Stringent Demands of a Large-Scale AI R&D Space
As a large-scale research carrier dedicated to AI development, the Pujiang Laboratory project placed multidimensional professional demands on the floor system. The 35,000 ㎡ ultra-large installation scale, high-density research equipment deployment, diverse functional spaces, and the need for a quiet R&D environment required the floor system to simultaneously meet professional standards across cabling management, load-bearing stability, acoustic performance, ease of maintenance, and safety/eco-compliance.
🔸 ① Orderly management of large-scale, high-density integrated cabling
The AI laboratory and R&D office spaces deploy massive numbers of GPU servers, network switches, data transmission links, and weak-current signal cables. With cabling demands across 35,000 ㎡, the floor system must provide ample, organized raised cable channels enabling layered, partitioned, and concealed cable routing, while also supporting frequent workstation reconfigurations and network expansion.
🔸 ② Long-term stable load-bearing for research equipment and personnel traffic
The space must support sustained static loads from workstations, server cabinets, lab instruments, and storage units, while withstanding dynamic loads from heavy daily foot traffic. The floor system must remain structurally flat and stable over the long term, providing a continuously reliable foundation for the surface finish.
🔸 ③ Eliminating floor noise to ensure a quiet R&D environment
AI research demands deep concentration; any abnormal floor noise compromises environmental quality. If pedestals loosen or panels rub against each other, squeaks will diminish user experience. Acoustic control must therefore be addressed at both the structural design and installation workmanship levels.
🔸 ④ Differentiated adaptation across diverse functional spaces
The project encompasses research offices, conference rooms, private offices, computing-room support areas, theaters/multi-function halls, reception lobbies, and corridors. Usage intensity, load demand, and acoustic requirements vary significantly, the ground system must offer modular adaptability and differentiated configuration.
🔸 ⑤ Flexible reconfiguration and easy maintenance
Research institutions frequently adjust their organizational structure and project layout. Each reconfiguration may involve cable rerouting and partial floor disassembly. The floor system must support independent panel removal and reinstallation while maintaining pedestal stability across repeated cycles.
🔸 ⑥ Class A fire resistance and green/eco-compliance
Research buildings have strict fire-resistance grade requirements for finish materials. As a long-term densely occupied indoor environment, control over formaldehyde and harmful VOC emissions is also tightly regulated. Both the floor system and all auxiliary materials must comply with applicable fire and environmental standards.。
After thorough product comparison and technical evaluation, the project ultimately selected the HUIYA SC800 Steel Cementitious Raised Access Floor as the main ground foundation system, with HUIYA SC1500 heavy-duty raised access floor in the theater zone, supported throughout by Japanese KONISHI KU928C-X pedestal adhesive as the fixing solution.

Why AI Research Spaces Need KONISHI KU928C-X
In raised access floor installation, the connection stability between pedestal and substrate is the central determinant of long-term system quality. Traditional pedestals, which rely solely on self-weight and panel compression — present two quality risks in AI research environments:
Scenario 1 – Floor noise from frequent foot traffic.
AI R&D teams maintain intense work rhythms with frequent personnel movement. Without an elastic buffer between the pedestal base and floor substrate, hard contact between metal and concrete will produce “creaking” noises under repeated micro-vibration, disrupting AI algorithm research, academic discussions, and other deeply focused scientific work.
Scenario 2 – Cumulative pedestal misalignment from equipment adjustments.
During AI research project cycles, computing-power expansions, cabling adjustments, and workstation reorganizations are frequent. If pedestals shift each time the floor is disassembled, accurate panel reinstallation becomes difficult, compromising overall floor flatness.
Application of KONISHI KU928C-X at the Pujiang Laboratory Project
To address these concerns, after the entire 35,000 ㎡ of raised access flooring was leveled, the installation team applied KONISHI KU928C-X adhesive between every pedestal base and the substrate. After curing, the adhesive delivered two key functions:
Function 1 | Elastic Buffering – Eliminating Floor Noise at Its Source
The flexible elastic bond layer formed after KU928C-X curing effectively absorbs micro-vibrations transmitted to pedestals from foot traffic and equipment operation, eliminating squeaks caused by metal-to-concrete hard contact at their source — creating quiet conditions for AI research work. This elastic adhesive also blocks sound waves traveling through solid structures, positively impacting impact-sound insulation performance (such as Japan’s commonly used L-value standard).
Function 2 | Secure Locking – Preventing Cumulative Pedestal Misalignment
After curing, the adhesive firmly anchors pedestal bases to the substrate. Even after repeated panel disassembly for cable inspection or equipment adjustments, the pedestal system remains stable, allowing precise panel reinstallation and avoiding cumulative misalignment that would compromise overall flatness.
F☆☆☆☆ Eco-Grade – Safeguarding Researcher Health
F☆☆☆☆ is the highest-tier certification for formaldehyde emissions in construction finish materials under Japan Industrial Standard (JIS), requiring formaldehyde release of less than 5 µg/m²·h, and forbidding 13 hazardous substances including formaldehyde, toluene, and xylene. In long-term densely occupied indoor environments such as AI research spaces, KU928C-X adhesive safeguards indoor air quality at the auxiliary-material level, meeting the stringent environmental requirements of national-grade research institutions.
✅ Real-World Performance
After comprehensive application of KONISHI KU928C-X pedestal adhesive throughout the Pujiang Laboratory project, the entire 35,000 ㎡ pedestal system was firmly anchored. Walking tests during on-site acceptance confirmed the absence of any noticeable noise, with the overall floor remaining stable and flat. Both the SC800 main areas and the SC1500 theater zone achieved consistent and reliable installation quality, fully satisfying the AI research space’s combined demands for silence, stability, and environmental safety.
