DL Construction has officially been recognized for its excellence in eco-friendly construction technology. On May 23, the company announced it received the Green Technology Certification (GT-25-02267) from the Ministry of SMEs and Startups. This certification is awarded for its collaborative development of the "Highly Corrosion-Resistant Elevator Pit Construction Technology" alongside Lotte E&C, Doosan E&C, and J-Tech E&C.
The Green Technology Certification is a system that evaluates and certifies technologies reducing greenhouse gases, conserving resources, and promoting eco-friendly production in accordance with the Carbon Neutrality Framework Act. The review process involves eight government departments, including the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and the Ministry of SMEs and Startups.
The certified DL Construction technology replaces the conventional concrete pouring method with a steel frame structure utilizing highly corrosion-resistant steel plates and specialized structural components to construct elevator pits. This innovation significantly reduces excavation depth and the use of rebar and concrete.
Compared to traditional methods, this technology reduces steel usage by approximately 72% and concrete by about 84%, dramatically cutting resource consumption. Calculations based on carbon emission factors provided by the Korea Environmental Industry & Technology Institute show that greenhouse gas emissions for a 600-unit apartment construction could decrease from 295 tons to roughly 57 tons, an over 80% reduction.
A representative from DL Construction stated, "This Green Technology Certification allows us to enhance sustainability at construction sites. We are committed to accelerating the development of technologies that meet economic and environmental needs, leading the way in the carbon-neutral era."
