HDC Hyundai Development Company (Hyundai Development) announced on the 14th that it is conducting special safety inspections for complexes within 10 years of completion in collaboration with the Korea Institute of Building Structure Technology.

The target of this special safety inspection includes approximately 66,000 households in 73 sites completed within the last 10 years. Starting with Seocho Central I-Park and Byeongjeom Station I-Park Castle, the inspections have been underway since April 1, following assessments of each complex’s condition and consultations with each complex.

Hyundai Development entrusted the safety inspections to the Korea Institute of Building Structure Technology, a professional organization with the highest technical grade and credibility in the field of building structures. After the inspections, comprehensive reports containing safety grade assessments, repair and reinforcement plans, and maintenance proposals based on measurement results and overall analysis will be delivered to each complex. Hyundai Development plans to complete inspections for all 73 complexes by the end of this year.

Jung Ik-hee, Hyundai Development’s Chief Safety Officer (CSO), stated, "We will make every painstaking effort to make I-Park the safest space," adding, "Along with the special safety inspections, we will strengthen safety and environmental systems to rebuild trust."

Meanwhile, Jung Ik-hee, who was newly appointed as CSO in February, held a safety rearmament resolution meeting immediately after taking office to raise awareness of safety management. He has been conducting special safety inspections by visiting more than five sites weekly, leading efforts to renew safety and quality. Newly appointed CEO Choi Ik-hoon also took his first step after appointment by joining site safety inspections together with the CSO and other executives.

Additionally, Hyundai Development is promoting the renewal of processes such as the advancement of the safety and health management system. During the first half of the year, it plans to establish a risk management program to build a data-driven quantitative management system. A Hyundai Development official said, "We will devote company-wide capabilities to securing quality and safety to restore customer trust, including operating an integrated CCTV control center to strengthen monitoring of high-risk work."
