The target site is the ‘Busanjinhae Free Economic Zone Myeongji District Phase 2 Section 1 Construction Project,’ where, through consultation with the local district office, filters were installed on safety fences within nearby child protection zones and on vehicles entering the site. DL Construction plans to consider applying the filters to other sites in the future based on the results and effectiveness of this pilot installation.

The filter is a ‘Carbon Fabric Mech’ that absorbs and decomposes air pollutants, and it can be highly effective when installed near emission sources that release fine dust and other air pollutants.

In particular, following the enactment of the Special Act on Fine Dust, social demands for reducing pollutants have increased. The filter is known to reduce pollutants designated by the Ministry of Environment, such as △nitrogen oxides △sulfur oxides △volatile organic compounds. The use of fine dust filters is becoming a trend mainly among local governments and companies.

A DL Construction official stated, “We will continue to carry out environmental improvement activities such as fine dust reduction measures at construction sites so that nearby stakeholders can experience positive effects.”

Meanwhile, DL Construction received a comprehensive ‘A’ grade in the ‘2022 ESG Evaluation’ announced last year by the Korea Corporate Governance Service (KCGS), which was one grade higher than the previous year. Notably, the ‘Environment (E)’ category was upgraded to an A grade compared to last year, driving the overall grade improvement.
