To facilitate the early commissioning of construction projects, Paju City formed and operated the Joint Design Team, primarily composed of technical officials from towns and villages. The ten-member team spent four weeks preparing design drawings and specifications for 121 projects, thereby completing the design phase.

The projects, which include roads, rivers, water and sewage systems, and small-scale community participation initiatives, have a total value of 6.7 billion won. The city plans to proceed with commissioning and construction for the projects whose designs have been completed.

In particular, the city ensured that locally produced materials were prioritized during the design process and plans to actively utilize local companies during construction to help protect small and medium-sized enterprises in the region.

This year, the Joint Design Team not only worked on construction project designs but also provided training in computer-aided design (CAD) and surveying, as well as field trips to the Han River Underwater Tunnel PR Center, various construction sites, and the Camp Howze road bridge girder installation site. These activities enhanced participating officials' overall understanding of construction and improved their field response capabilities.

Paju City stated that the technical exchange among technical officials through the operation of the Joint Design Team has improved overall work competency. In particular, hands-on training has helped new technical officials with limited design experience to strengthen their design capabilities.

A city official from Paju said, "Based on the results of this Joint Design Team, we will promptly advance long-awaited community projects to minimize inconvenience for residents."
