Center for Smart Construction Technology
Center for Smart Construction Technology provides a breakthrough for a new future in the construction industry through 1. Earthworks automation and digital mapping, 2. Structure automation and prefab, 3. Smart construction safety, 4. Platform and demonstration, smart construction in four areas, and digital innovation.
With the advent of the 4th industrial revolution, digital transformation based on cyber-physical systems (CPS), in which the Internet of Things (IoT), drones, big data, artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality, and block chains are interconnected for convergence, has established as a key for innovation in all industries. Construction companies also recognize digital technology as an essential tool for survival, dedicating departments and experts for implementation of digital technology. Innovative small and medium-sized enterprises, venture enterprises, and startups have focused on commercialization for smart construction with various innovative technologies as the basic tools. The government also included the goal of construction automation in the basic plan for construction technology promotion, created a “smart construction technology roadmap,” and started strategic research and development for technology development and practical application of Smart Construction.
What is Smart Construction?
Innovative technologies such as digital modeling, IoT, AI, drones, robots, and platforms are combined with traditional construction to implement data-driven engineering, construction equipment automation, virtual construction, safety control, and other processes. With Smart Construction, digital transformation is implemented in all stages of construction (design-fabrication-construction-maintenance) to achieve unprecedented improvements in productivity and safety in the construction industry.
Korea Expressway Corporation, in partnerships with companies, research institutes, and universities, will open the digital era of the construction industry through the development and practical utilization of Smart Construction technology. Korea Expressway Corporation, the supervisory organization of the national R&D project of Smart Construction Technology Development, will promote the digital transformation of the construction industry with emphasis on the practical application and field operation of the developed technologies, and help Korean companies enter the global market based on their accumulated digital capabilities. Korea Expressway Corporation will lead “R&D linked with construction orders” utilizing expressway construction projects such that the achievements of technology development can be actively applied in industrial sites beyond the use in laboratories, enabling versatile applications of the developed technologies in other SOC sectors.
