KECC rises as global engineering company
Asia's emerging markets continue to grow and modernise, creating immense infrastructure development opportunities in the region. Prospects are also bright in advanced economies that now face ageing infrastructure. South Korea's "technology pioneer" of construction - Korea Engineering Consultants Corporation (KECC) - is well-positioned to capitalise on these market opportunities. Leveraging more than 50 years in engineering consulting services and a culture of unceasing innovation, KECC is strengthening its global platform.

"Our achievements were pivotal during our nation's rapid industrial growth," says Lee Kang-rog, KECC president. "Now we are ready to expand our operations on a worldwide level. We seek to become a global engineering company, trusted by customers around the world."
KECC's history of civil engineering is the longest in South Korea, and it is renowned for the integrated development of the Han River. KECC has also lent its expertise for the development and construction of various roads, bridges, subways, airports, harbours, industrial complexes, and water supply and sewage systems. As a multidisciplinary engineering consulting firm, KECC covers the entire project cycle with its one-stop service, from feasibility studies to detailed engineering design and construction management.
"As public works projects are highly sensitive to economic fluctuations, we're diversifying our portfolio to environmental and renewable energy plant projects," Lee says. "We are also looking to increase overseas operations to 30 per cent of our total business."
KECC has established a foothold in 20 overseas markets by working with affiliates of its parent Hanjin Heavy Industries & Construction and other international construction firms. KECC has contributed its comprehensive engineering know-how to major government infrastructure projects in the Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Algeria, among others.
"We're keen on forming more strategic partnerships as we venture into new markets across Asia, Europe and Africa to promote efficient land development and industrial advancement," Lee says.
