[Asia Economy Reporter Jo Gang-wook] Hyundai Engineering & Construction announced on the 7th that it held the ‘Hyundai E&C Tunnel/Smart Construction Technology Demonstration’ at the Hangang Tunnel Promotion Center at the ‘Expressway No. 400 Gimpo~Paju Section Construction Project Section 2’ site in Paju, Gyeonggi-do.

At the demonstration, Hyundai E&C focused on introducing advanced TBM technology applied in the Hangang Tunnel, smart construction technologies suitable for tunnel sites, and various technologies being researched by Hyundai E&C.

For example, the TBM, a tunnel excavation machine, is equipped with various sensors and digital devices designed to acquire operational information in real time. In particular, using proprietary technology, excavation data and ground information are analyzed in real time to suggest the optimal operation method.

Additionally, the overall site status information is transmitted to a BIM-based digital system and a central integrated operation system, enabling real-time remote support and management of site work.

Unmanned site management tools such as remote drones and unmanned ground vehicles, which can be utilized for AI-based safety management and unmanned surveying tasks, are also deployed at the tunnel site.

Hyundai E&C explained that it is conducting various research centered on its technology research institute to achieve complete smartification of construction sites.

A Hyundai E&C official said, “Smartification of construction sites is a key factor that can improve productivity and quality while enhancing safety,” adding, “We will continue to invest in R&D and expand the application of smart construction technologies.”
