Smart Construction Strategy

Offer business value and enhance competitiveness

From the planning to construction phase of a project, a wide range of digital solutions such as building information modeling (BIM), smart tools, prefabrication applications, and pre-construction smart workflows are applied. Our Smart Construction Group harnesses the power of AI and data to standardize work processes. The Group also internalizes the latest technical knowledge through staff training programs and technology acquisition.

Our Industry-Leading Solutions

  • Pre-construction In the pre-construction stage, systematic project management techniques are employed to minimize project cost, time and quality issues. This includes the Big Room, where all parties involved in a project are brought together into one room to identify and mitigate design errors.
  • Prefabrication To enhance productivity, building components are prefabricated at factories and assembled at the construction site.
  • BIM-based simulation Building information modeling software is used to simulate the layout of temporary structures or equipment and review safety risks and workflows, thereby optimizing processes and minimizing costs.
  • Digital construction management High-resolution images of construction sites taken by 3D scanning drones are uploaded to the internet via mobile applications. Operators can easily access the images through smartphones or tablet PCs.
  • Automated control systems GPS trackers and IoT tools are integrated into equipment and processes to automate control. Ground penetrating radars mounted on equipment help locate and avoid subsurface structures.
  • Smart safety systems This technology controls site safety in real-time by monitoring gas levels in enclosed spaces, identifying workers’ locations, controlling hazardous substance storages, analyzing intelligent CCTV footages, and controlling drone safety.

Sinansan Double-Track Railway Project First-of-its-kind railway project in Korea to Apply BIM to Sections

Once completed, the Sinansan double-track underground railway will span 44.7 kilometers, connecting 15 stations including Ansan, Siheung, Gwangmyeong and Yeouido. The sheer magnitude of the structure makes the project an enormous undertaking. BIM tools were applied to all sections of the railway track and work processes to detect and avoid interface clash. Smart shaft management techniques were employed in the construction of vertical access shafts to ensure precise engineering.
