[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Yuri] Hyundai Engineering & Construction announced on the 2nd that it won the top prize, the Gold Award, in the construction category of the 'Industrial Safety and Health Innovation Awards 2020' held by the Ministry of Manpower (MoM) under Singapore's Workplace Safety and Health Council.
The award is given annually by Singapore's Workplace Safety and Health Council to organizations and individuals who have made outstanding contributions in the field of industrial safety and health. Hyundai Engineering & Construction received awards for three sites in the 'SHARP Awards' category last year and won this year in the 'Innovation Awards' category.
Hyundai Engineering & Construction explained, "The Tuas Finger 3 reclamation project site in Singapore changed the application method of the large caisson's 'concrete coating agent' from a manual application using an elevated work platform to an automated application using automated equipment, and this achievement was recognized." They added, "This resulted in eliminating safety accident risks and worker exposure to toxic substances, improving productivity and ensuring quality through the use of automated equipment, which led to the award."
A Hyundai Engineering & Construction official stated, "We will continue to fulfill the role and responsibility of a leading company overseas based on excellent technological capabilities."
Meanwhile, Hyundai Engineering & Construction entered Singapore in 1981 with the 'Pulau Tekong Reclamation Project' and has since secured a total of 90 projects worth 15 billion dollars, including the Pasir Panjang Terminal Phases 3 & 4, the 'Marina South Integrated Development Project,' and the 'Undersea Oil Terminal.'
