[Asia Economy Reporter Onyu Lim] DL E&C (formerly Daelim Industrial) and Volvo Group Korea announced on the 22nd that they have launched a technical council to promote smart construction. The inauguration ceremony was held on the 19th at the Glad Hotel in Yeouido. Attendees included Kwon Sooyoung, Head of Civil Engineering Division at DL E&C, Im Jaetack, Vice President of Volvo Construction Equipment, and executives from both companies.

The two companies established the technical council to proactively respond to the 4th Industrial Revolution. Their strategy is to develop smart construction technologies optimized for domestic construction site environments through collaboration that transcends industry barriers between construction companies and construction machinery manufacturers. They plan to introduce Volvo Group Korea’s smart construction equipment to DL E&C’s construction sites to verify performance and efficiency, and to explore development directions by reflecting feedback from the field.

DL E&C will operate excavators equipped with Volvo’s cutting-edge intelligent machine control devices on site. The excavators being introduced can automatically measure the weight of soil and simultaneously perform excavation work and surveying, which is expected to improve productivity. Additionally, safety features that prevent worker accidents have been enhanced, improving overall safety. Volvo Group Korea plans to identify technical demands and improvement points from on-site personnel, the actual buyers of construction equipment, to acquire new technology ideas and further upgrade smart construction technologies.

DL E&C and Volvo Group Korea plan to collect all work data to derive operational plans and equipment stability suitable for domestic sites. Furthermore, they will continuously discuss expanding the scope of collaboration to apply smart technologies to various construction equipment beyond excavators.

Im Jaetack, Vice President of Volvo Construction Equipment, said, “Based on Volvo’s brand values of quality, safety, and environment, we will actively introduce smart construction technologies in Korea to lead safe and highly efficient construction sites.”

Kwon Sooyoung, Head of Civil Engineering Division at DL E&C, expressed expectations, saying, “Smart construction will enable more precise work as well as create a safer working environment,” and added, “We will implement high quality to achieve customer satisfaction.”
