The project will use GIX (ultra-high corrosion-resistant steel plates) products manufactured by Dongkuk Steel. Compared to conventional GI (galvanized steel plates) products, GIX offers a more aesthetically pleasing surface appearance and corrosion resistance that is 5 to 7 times superior. It is expected to contribute to clean and renewable energy production even in coastal areas where corrosion is a concern.
