We diagnose the construction quality using the cutting-edge diagnostic devices, such as the thermal imaging cameras and rebar detectors, to build credibility among residents and minimize defects and share the information with customers. We also check the quality of structure with professional devices including ground penetrating radar (GPR) and vibrograph for satisfaction of the orderer and supervisor.
[By project] Self quality inspection (P-SQI) and step-by-step quality test
