DL E&C Wins Construction Contract for Kyung Hee University Gaya Medical Center... Approximately 1,000 Beds

[Asia Economy Reporter Onyu Lim] DL E&C (formerly Daelim Industrial) announced on the 30th that it has signed a construction contract for the 'Kyung Hee University Gaya Medical Center' commissioned by the Bowon Medical Foundation. The total construction cost is approximately 434 billion KRW, of which DL E&C's share (70%) amounts to 303.8 billion KRW. Construction is scheduled to begin in October this year, with completion targeted for the second half of 2024.

Kyung Hee University Gaya Medical Center will be a general hospital with 1,010 beds located in the Iji General Industrial Complex in Juchon-myeon, Gimhae City. The building will have 4 basement floors and 17 above-ground floors, with a total floor area of 199,806㎡, making it the largest single hospital building nationwide. It will house over 40 medical departments, including a Cardiovascular Center, Neuroscience Center, Cancer Center, Infection/Respiratory Center, Diabetes and Thyroid Center, and a Regional Emergency Medical Center, capable of treating critically ill and emergency patients.

Once established, the medical center is expected to alleviate the inconvenience experienced by Gimhae citizens who previously had to use medical facilities in other regions for intensive care. Additionally, the Iji General Industrial Complex, where the medical center will be built, is home to various medical-related companies due to Gimhae City's development of a bio-health specialized complex, which is expected to create synergy effects with the surrounding industries.

DL E&C has extensive experience in constructing various medical facilities, including Ewha Womans University Seoul Hospital. Leveraging this project, the company plans to participate in the construction and development of diverse medical and research facilities in the future.
