Global AI Construction Safety and Concrete Seminar to be held in S. Korea in Oct 2024

The Global AI Construction Safety and Concrete Seminar 2024 will be held on 16 October at the Korea International Exhibition Centre (KINTEX) in Goyang, South Korea. Jointly organised by Smart Construction Confluence Association, KINTEX and Korea Construction Newspaper, the event will be co-located with Asia Concrete Expo and Korea Construction & Industrial Safety Expo (K-Con Safety Expo) 2024.

“Smart safety technology comprises a major part of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport’s ambitious R&D project, promoting the development of smart construction technology. This seminar is highly anticipated as it will feature presentations from leading companies and experts in digital-based construction site safety technology,” said Seongmin Jo, second president of Smart Construction Confluence Association.

During the seminar, the awards for the ‘1st Smart Technology Video Contest’ will also be presented. Another highlight is the session on ‘Smart Construction Seminar,’ which will be divided into two parts: ‘Smart Technologies Utilising AI’ and ‘Global Cutting-Edge Concrete Production and Construction’.

The ‘Smart Technologies Utilising AI’ segment will cover a wide range of topics, including paradigm shift in smart safety management systems; smart safety control for construction site safety management based on BIM; AI video analysis service for construction site accident prevention using synthetic data; generative AI construction GPT and quality safety management; real-time facility risk management solution using ‘Meerkat’ AIoT intelligent sensors; dynamic risk prediction solution (S100) utilising AI; and the real-world integration of 4D BIM and control platform-based smart safety technology.

The ‘Global Cutting-Edge Concrete Production and Construction’ segment will also feature a variety of topics by speakers from global companies, such as Progress Group, Kraft Curing Systems, BHS Sonthofen, and Lotte Engineering & Construction, among others.

In addition, K-Con Safety Expo and Asia Concrete Expo will host a networking session. It will be attended by over 200 participants, comprising leaders from 40 global companies, 40 buyers, major exhibitors, and members of the Smart Construction Confluence Association.

The Global AI Construction Safety and Concrete Seminar is sponsored by various organisations, including the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport; Seoul Metropolitan Government; Public Procurement Service; Korea Expressway Corporation Smart Construction Division; National Railroad Corporation; Korea Land and Housing Corporation; Korea Institute of Construction Engineering and Management; Sustainable Smart City Research Centre; Korea Construction Association; Korea Mechanical Contractors Association; Korea AI Smart Home Industry Association; Korea Remodelling Association; Korean Institute of Architects; KNX Korea Association; and Smart Interior Forum.

K-Con Safety Expo, which will take place from 16 to 18 October 2024, focuses on promoting smart safety technologies in construction and workplaces to prevent accidents and reduce damages. Over 150 companies with advanced safety technologies are expected to participate.

Asia Concrete Expo aims to promote the latest concrete production, construction technologies and products, featuring over 100 companies from countries such as Germany, Italy and China. The event will be held concurrently with Smart Modular Construction Expo.
