Incheon Airport Corporation-Korea District Heating Corporation Establish Emergency Repair System for Heat-Using Facilities

Incheon International Airport Corporation announced on the 18th that it signed a 'Mutual Cooperation Agreement for Emergency Materials and Emergency Recovery Support for Heat-Using Facilities' with Korea District Heating Corporation at the corporation's meeting room on the afternoon of the 15th. About 17 officials, including Joo Gyeon, Head of Infrastructure Division at Incheon International Airport Corporation, and Lee Sang-jin, Head of Construction Division at Korea District Heating Corporation, attended the agreement ceremony.

Through the signing of the mutual cooperation agreement, both companies will strengthen mutual cooperation, including establishing an emergency recovery system for heat-using facilities (medium-temperature water piping) at Incheon International Airport. They also plan to form a technical cooperation system through the exchange of operational data and new technologies to enhance the stability of heat-using facility operations within Incheon Airport. When emergency repairs are needed for heat-using facilities at Incheon Airport, materials will be supported using Korea District Heating Corporation's emergency material warehouse located in Pyeongtaek.

In the event of a failure in heat-using facilities during holiday periods such as Lunar New Year and Chuseok, rapid facility recovery will be possible through support from Korea District Heating Corporation's emergency recovery contractors.

Incheon Airport uses district heating supplied by Incheon Airport Energy for heating and cooling in major buildings such as passenger terminals. Medium-temperature water piping extending 128 km is installed within Incheon Airport.

Head Joo said, “Through the signing of this mutual cooperation agreement, by establishing a mutual cooperation system with Korea District Heating Corporation, which has many years of experience in managing heat transport facilities, we will secure the operational stability of heat-using facilities at Incheon Airport and further provide higher quality airport services to passengers and tenants using Incheon Airport.”
