Creating an Industrial Complex Where Water Circulates Like Nature... Ulsan City Launches 'Low-Carbon Green Industrial Complex' Initiative
Buk-gu Hyomun Industrial Complex, 7.4 Billion KRW Invested in 'Low Impact Development' Facilities
Construction to Start in September Next Year After Detailed Design, Completion in December 2025
Ulsan City is embarking on a project to create a low-carbon green industrial complex in Hyomun Industrial Complex, Buk-gu.
This project was selected last year as a Ministry of Environment public contest project, and involves investing a total of 7.4 billion KRW to install ‘Low Impact Development (LID) facilities’ in the 2.1㎢ area of Hyomun Industrial Complex in Ulsan Mipo National Industrial Complex, Buk-gu.
Ulsan City started the basic and detailed design service in June, plans to complete it by March next year, begin construction in September, and finish by December 2025.
The main project components include vegetated retention ponds, rain gardens, vegetated swales, rooftop gardens, and permeable pavements.
The ‘Low-Carbon Green Industrial Complex Creation Project’ targets aging industrial complexes to reduce impervious surfaces, secure green spaces, and apply ‘Low Impact Development techniques’ that allow rainwater to infiltrate into the soil, aiming to restore the water cycle.
‘Low Impact Development techniques’ refer to installing facilities such as vegetated retention ponds, vegetated swales, rain gardens, and permeable blocks that allow rainwater to be naturally absorbed into the soil, mimicking the natural water cycle system.
When the natural water cycle is restored within Hyomun Industrial Complex, it will not only reduce non-point source pollution, flood volume, and urban heat island effects but also contribute to improving the urban landscape.
