Hanwha Engineering & Construction announced that it signed the implementation agreement for the 'Daejeon Sewage Treatment Plant Facility Modernization Private Investment Project' on the 10th at Daejeon City Hall.

Through this implementation agreement, Daejeon Enviro Co., Ltd., led by Hanwha Engineering & Construction, will consolidate and relocate the existing Wonnchon-dong sewage treatment plant and Ojeong-dong night soil treatment plant to the Geumgo-dong area in Yuseong-gu. With a total project cost of 721.4 billion KRW, the sewage treatment plant will be modernized and moved underground to fundamentally block odor generation, and various convenience facilities such as parks and sports facilities will be created above ground.

The integrated facility will have a sewage treatment capacity of 650,000 tons/day and a trunk sewer length of 11.3 km. Construction will begin this year with a target completion in 2027. It is expected to greatly contribute to improving the residential environment in the Wonnchon-dong area of Daejeon and the water quality of the discharge area.

In particular, this project is the largest private investment sewage treatment plant project in Korea and the first sewage treatment plant relocation project. With Hanwha Engineering & Construction participating as the lead company, possessing differentiated capabilities in both water treatment and private investment projects, it is expected to be carried out stably and efficiently.

Currently, Hanwha Engineering & Construction holds 52 environmental patents, including the PRO-MBR method (ultra-advanced sewage treatment technology) certified as an environmental new technology, 8 environmental new technologies, and 5 green technologies. The company has completed and operates more than 10 private sewage treatment plants domestically, including in Paju and Hwaseong.

The agreement ceremony was attended by Hanwha Engineering & Construction Vice Chairman Choi Kwang-ho, Daejeon Mayor Heo Tae-jeong, and other officials from both sides, who pledged cooperation for the successful promotion of the project.

Vice Chairman Choi said, "Based on the various environmental new technologies owned by Hanwha Engineering & Construction and the accumulated know-how in this field, we will ensure that this project becomes a model case for the modernization of aging sewage treatment plants."

Meanwhile, Hanwha Engineering & Construction is currently carrying out the Cheonan Sewage Treatment Plant Facility Modernization project, which was awarded in 2019 with a total project cost of 196.9 billion KRW. In the 2020 comprehensive construction company construction capacity evaluation, the company ranked first in sewage final treatment plants and sewer construction performance.
