Thick Plates Processing and Steel Construction Materials

The Gwangyang 1Plant, which is in charge of shipbuilding and steel construction materials, is leveraging a lot as large as 50,000 pyeong, to provide one-stop service from storage of inventor to the raw materials of thick plates and shape steel, pre-processing, cutting, welding and painting. It acquired the cutting processing classification approval [10 classification societies, e.g. BV and DNV] in 2011, and is solidifying its cooperative system with customers by managing the quality of shipbuilding and maritime products more systematically. Also, it has equipment capable of producing 40,000 tons of steel construction materials, built-up beams and steel structures a year, and participates in large projects in Korea and overseas.

Size of the plant: 158,000㎡, factories/office buildings 33,000㎡
