[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Seoyul] Hanyang announced on the 21st that its rainwater collection and drainage technology, developed jointly with Jiseong Industrial Development, has received green technology certification from the government. The green technology certification system recognizes technologies that minimize greenhouse gas and pollutant emissions through energy and resource savings and efficiency improvements.

The rainwater collection and drainage technology developed by Hanyang features a "permeable discharge system" that guides and discharges rainwater to the lower drainage layer through floor pavement and joints. By combining the permeable discharge method with the existing surface discharge method that directs rainwater along the floor surface, it is explained that this system can prevent urban flooding caused by water pooling or overflow even during heavy rainfall. It also improves the water collection function of existing rainwater collection and drainage technologies, making rainwater recycling easier.

Additionally, since floor casting work is unnecessary during installation, construction periods can be shortened and construction costs reduced. It also achieves carbon emission reduction through decreased use of heavy machinery and material savings.

Hanyang has pilot-applied this technology at sites in Sejong, Cheongna, and Gimpo, and plans to expand it to all sites in the future.

A Hanyang representative stated, "We will further upgrade Hanyang's technological capabilities based on eco-friendly construction technology," and added, "We will actively participate in government-implemented carbon neutrality policies and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management."
