Strengthening Safety Management with AI and DX Technologies
HDC Hyundai Development Company is making every effort to create safer worksites by utilizing artificial intelligence (AI), drones, and robots. These measures are aimed at eliminating potential safety risks on-site in a timely manner. In addition, the company is implementing a variety of initiatives, such as joint efforts by labor and management to raise safety awareness among frontline workers, and the introduction of self-directed learning programs for safety managers.

Introduction of Cloud-Based Drone Platform, Building a Smart Construction Environment
As part of its efforts to establish a smart construction environment, HDC Hyundai Development Company recently partnered with Meissa to introduce digital twin technology. Digital twin technology refers to the creation of three-dimensional virtual spaces using real-world data collected via drones and satellites. This technology is currently being applied at sites such as Seoul One I-Park and City O'ciel Complex 7.
The company plans to expand its drone-based site management system to all sites nationwide. Leveraging drones enables detailed filming and video analysis, allowing for comprehensive documentation of the site from groundbreaking to completion. This also enhances cost management efficiency. At large-scale sites, drones can be used to frequently monitor blind spots. The technology enables precise surveying and allows for regular comparisons between plans and actual site conditions to calculate earthwork volumes. Additionally, it can simulate tasks that are difficult to execute in reality, thereby improving both process accuracy and safety.
HDC Hyundai Development Company is also collaborating with Meissa on various research and development projects related to smart construction technology. These include solutions that integrate drones and Building Information Modeling (BIM) for efficient process and cost management, as well as structural inspection technologies utilizing drone video analysis. Drawing on experience gained from on-site operations, the company is enhancing various solutions and working together to discover new business models that leverage smart construction technology.
An HDC Hyundai Development Company representative stated, "By introducing drone technology and establishing a data-driven site management system, we can enhance process efficiency and site safety with greater precision and ease. We will continue to collaborate with specialized companies to develop technologies that advance the digital transformation and automation of construction sites, thereby strengthening our competitiveness and upgrading our site management systems."
Establishing a Rapid Response System with Integrated CCTV Control Center and Expanded Tower Crane CCTV
HDC Hyundai Development Company is enhancing existing safety management practices and striving to establish a sustainable safety culture by introducing AI- and DX-based technologies at its sites.
Recently, the company has been expanding the functionality of its integrated CCTV control center. This allows for continuous monitoring of potential hazards in blind spots across all areas of the site, including both above and below ground. The ability to quickly detect and manage workers' safety conditions enables the establishment of a rapid response system and helps prevent the recurrence of actual safety incidents. HDC Hyundai Development Company also plans to develop "AI CCTV utilization strategies" in collaboration with relevant technology companies. The integrated CCTV control center has been in operation since 2022 to eliminate safety blind spots in site management.
The company is also expanding the use of "tower crane CCTV" at sites nationwide. Starting with Cheonan I-Park City, this system has been sequentially implemented at Gunsan Lake City I-Park, Chuncheon Lake City I-Park, Seoul One I-Park, and Gwangju Centennial I-Park.

Establishing a Self-Directed Learning System for Safety Managers
In addition to upgrading the site management system, efforts are underway to enhance safety awareness among safety managers. Last summer, HDC Hyundai Development Company introduced a new self-directed learning system to improve the competencies of safety and health managers. The training curriculum was revised to allow managers to effectively keep up with constantly changing safety standards and to cultivate a large number of safety and health managers with above-standard competencies through online examinations. Previously, training was conducted as one-off sessions by internal or external instructors.
The company is also working to improve safety awareness among all on-site workers. Recently, joint safety inspections were carried out at sites such as Imun I-Park Xi and Gangbyeon Station Central I-Park in collaboration with the labor union. This joint effort by labor and management was undertaken to strengthen the existing regular management site inspections. In the second half of this year, the company plans to implement consulting across all sites to further enhance worker protection and establish a safety culture, thereby strengthening the on-site safety management system.
Yang Seungcheol, Chief Safety Officer (CSO) of HDC Hyundai Development Company, stated, "Active participation and practice by workers serve as the most powerful safety mechanism, so we must make continuous efforts to establish a safety-first culture. Going forward, we will introduce more proactive and active systems and improve our processes at the company-wide level to further strengthen our safety environment."
A representative from HDC Hyundai Development Company added, "To reinforce on-site safety management systems, we will continue regular safety inspections, company-wide safety campaigns, and training for those responsible for safety and health. In line with the trends of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, we will seek opportunities to integrate AI and DX, further developing our management systems and striving to establish a robust safety culture."
