Ssangyong E&C’s Two Project Sites Win Grand Prizes for Outstanding Technology and Safety

2021-12-15

Ssangyong E&C has won two awards in a row for outstanding civil engineering safety.

On December 14, Ssangyong E&C announced that the National Highway No. 14 Hamyang-Changnyeong Section 1, one of the company’s current construction sites, won the Grand Prize at the 2021 Value Engineering Contest hosted by the Korea Expressway Corporation (KEC).

The contest aims to recognize creative attempts to enhance construction quality and management. Among 16 sites across the country associated with projects commissioned by KEC, this Ssangyong E&C site won the highest score for using a new reinforcement for shotcrete to enhance construction quality.

With this new construction technology, steel fiber, the traditional reinforcement for shotcrete used in tunnel construction, is replaced with synthetic fiber, a cost-effective material that is more eco-friendly with a lower carbon footprint but still provides the same functionality and performance.

This month, the Seoul Subway Line 8 Extension (Byeollae Line) Section 1, the company’s other ongoing construction site, was ed as a site with the best safety management by the Seoul Metropolitan Government. The project received the highest score in the overall safety management category, more specifically in terms of industrial accidents, damage to facilities, safety management & inspection, and recommendation by relevant departments. It is the second time since the first half of 2019 that this site has won the grand prize in safety management.
