[CEONEWS = Reporter Park Soo-nam] The Korean Peninsula, once ravaged by the scars of colonial rule and war, has emerged as a global leader in construction. From rebuilding cities to achieving the "Miracle on the Han River," South Korea's construction industry has showcased the excellence of Korean craftsmanship and engineering worldwide. Among the leaders in this transformative journey is Lotte Engineering & Construction (Lotte E&C), a company setting new benchmarks in innovation and urban development.

Pioneering AI Technology in Construction

One of the most groundbreaking developments from Lotte E&C is its AI-powered Insulation Design Review Program, "INScanner." Developed in collaboration with industrial AI startup Duoaz, this revolutionary tool represents a significant leap forward in construction quality management.

INScanner simplifies the traditionally labor-intensive process of reviewing insulation designs. By uploading existing blueprints, users can leverage an AI model trained specifically to identify insulation materials and detect any omissions. This eliminates the need for specialized software like AutoCAD, making the technology accessible to a wide range of construction professionals.

The AI model identifies and categorizes architectural elements such as concrete walls, insulation materials, windows, and doors, streamlining the detection of missing insulation. This innovation not only prevents common construction defects like condensation and mold but also enhances the overall efficiency of insulation design reviews.

Lotte E&C has further strengthened the program’s capabilities by integrating advanced computer vision algorithms and training the AI on over 1,000 architectural blueprints. With plans to continue refining the model through additional data, the company is preparing for beta testing in 2025 and aims to roll out INScanner across its residential construction sites.

This pioneering effort underscores Lotte E&C’s commitment to digital transformation. As noted by a representative from the company's Technology Research Center, “The development of the AI Insulation Design Review Program demonstrates how digital innovation can improve efficiency and quality. We will continue to innovate to ensure this program becomes a practical tool for quality management in construction.”

Leading the Urban Redevelopment Charge

Lotte E&C has also made significant strides in urban redevelopment, securing its first project of the year with the redevelopment of the northern section of Anyang Sports Complex. The project was awarded during a general meeting held in May at the Trinity Convention in Bisan-dong, Anyang.

This ambitious project will transform the area into a modern residential complex comprising 11 apartment buildings, with three underground levels and up to 35 stories above ground. The development will house 1,283 units and carry a total construction cost of 431.5 billion KRW.

To elevate the project's value, Lotte E&C has planned several innovative features, including a Sky Community and a curtain wall façade with rooftop lighting, giving the complex a luxurious and sophisticated appearance. The addition of premium street-style shops and a central plaza will enhance the living experience for future residents.

Strategically located near natural attractions like Gwanak and Samseong Mountains, the complex also boasts excellent connectivity. Proximity to major subway stations, including Pyeongchon Station and Anyang Station, as well as future transportation lines like the GTX-C and Wolgot-Pangyo Line, further enhances its appeal.

According to a company representative, “This project marks the return of ‘Lotte Castle Signature’ to Anyang’s urban area after 20 years. By incorporating specialized designs and leveraging decades of construction expertise, we aim to create a landmark development that reflects the trust and expectations of the community.”

A Vision for the Future

Lotte E&C's innovative strides in both technology and urban redevelopment highlight its pivotal role in shaping the future of South Korea’s construction industry. By integrating cutting-edge AI technology and delivering landmark urban projects, the company continues to contribute to the country's legacy of resilience and progress. With a vision rooted in quality and innovation, Lotte E&C is building more than structures—it is building a legacy.
