Incheon City Prevents Substandard Construction with Blockchain Technology... Blockchain Public Sector Contest Participation

Incheon City is promoting measures to prevent poor construction practices such as rebar omission and illegal material use by utilizing blockchain technology.

On the 3rd, the city announced that it submitted two projects to the Ministry of Science and ICT's 'Blockchain Public Sector Concentration and Expansion Project Contest': the 'Safety Certification' for transparent construction sites and the 'Integrated Environmental Practice Membership' service for resource circulation.

The Ministry of Science and ICT plans to select six projects through a contest targeting government ministries, local governments, and public institutions to discover projects where the impact of blockchain technology in public services can be experienced, and will provide a total of 10 billion KRW in national funding.

Incheon City first proposed the 'Safety Certification' service for the blockchain public sector concentration project. This service is based on tamper-proof blockchain technology and conducts integrated control of apartment construction site personnel access management, material history management, artificial intelligence (AI), CCTV, and Internet of Things (IoT) sensing to ensure transparent construction management.

It was conceived to address issues of poor construction caused by problems such as rebar omission in flat slab structure apartments and forgery or alteration of building material test reports, which have recently become social issues.

The 'Integrated Environmental Practice Membership' is a membership service that certifies individual environmental practice activities by building an integrated management process for resource circulation stores and unmanned recycling collection machines using blockchain technology.

An official from Incheon City stated, "We will continue to discover tangible services that introduce digital technology into public and industrial sites to solve various social problems and secure citizen safety and convenience in daily life."
