Jeonnam-Gwangju Launches Safety Platform

Jeonnam-Gwangju Integrated Special City is operating a facility safety management platform that public officials built themselves using AI as a development tool. The city said on the 5th that Shin Hae-seop, an official at its General Construction Headquarters, planned and developed the platform starting in January. No outside contractor or separate budget was used.

The platform automatically classifies managed facilities, including bridges, tunnels, underpasses and retaining walls, according to legal standards. It also analyzes whether a higher-level inspection has been conducted and determines whether a lower-level inspection can be omitted. Damage, cracks, repairs and reinforcement records that had been scattered across inspection reports can be consolidated by facility. Staff can check whether damage at the same location has progressed and continue reviewing a facility’s management history when personnel change.

The platform can also automatically generate design documents for safety inspection and diagnostic contracts using related materials and calculation standards. Jeonnam-Gwangju said the feature reduced preparation time from more than 30 days to within one day. AI technology was used as a development tool during the platform’s creation.

Jeonnam-Gwangju said that because field staff built the platform themselves, they could incorporate functions needed on site and continue improving it as work conditions change. Son Du-young, head of the General Construction Headquarters, said administrative innovation using AI and digital technology improves work efficiency and contributes to public safety and quality of life. He said the city would use advanced technology to upgrade its facility safety management system and expand administrative services whose changes employees and residents can experience.
