[Edaily Reporter Ham Ji-Hyun ] HanmiGlobal Co., Ltd(053690), a company specializing in construction project management (PM), announced on the 11th that it has formed a consortium with ITM Architects and signed a contract for the “Design-Phase Construction Project Management for the Gadeokdo New Airport Passenger Terminal and Ancillary Buildings,” commissioned by the Gadeokdo New Airport Construction Corporation.

Through this project, HanmiGlobal Co., Ltd will review the design suitability and constructability of the passenger terminal and ancillary buildings, as well as the appropriateness of construction costs and schedules. In doing so, the company will play a role in proactively identifying potential project risks that may arise during the design phase and enhancing the efficiency of design quality and project cost management.

According to the company, the Gadeokdo New Airport passenger terminal is being constructed on a large-scale offshore site that involves a complex combination of various disciplines—including architecture, civil engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and telecommunications—thereby requiring integrated project management during the design phase. The company emphasized that the role of pre-construction (Pre-Con) is particularly important, as it involves reviewing constructability and economic feasibility from the design phase and proactively managing project risks.

HanmiGlobal Co., Ltd stated, “By securing this contract for the Gadeokdo New Airport, we have established a track record in large-scale public projects and plan to expand our business in the domestic public infrastructure sector.” The company added, “Based on our experience in managing airport construction projects both domestically and internationally, we will continue to identify new business opportunities in overseas airport and large-scale infrastructure construction projects, including those in the Middle East.”

The Gadeokdo New Airport, being constructed in the Gadeokdo area of Gangseo-gu, Busan, is a gateway airport for the southeastern region and a major national project aimed at promoting balanced national development and revitalizing the local economy. The project is being pursued to meet aviation demand in the southeastern region and strengthen international air cargo logistics competitiveness in conjunction with the Port of Busan. The project involves constructing airport facilities—including runways and passenger and cargo terminals—on a site of approximately 6.67 million square meters, with the pre-construction phase of construction project management scheduled to run through January 2030.

HanmiGlobal Co., Ltd has also accumulated project management expertise through overseas airport construction projects. In 2019, HanmiGlobal Co., Ltd participated as part of the Project Management Office (PMO) consortium for the construction of the new Chinchero Airport in Peru, which was Korea’s first government-to-government (G2G) contract for airport infrastructure. The Chinchero New Airport project in Peru involves building a gateway airport to the world-renowned tourist destination of Machu Picchu, and HanmiGlobal Co., Ltd was responsible for key project management tasks, including contract management, schedule management, and construction cost management.
