- Abstract
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) - Far East District (FED) is updating the design specifications for elevators on U.S. military installations in South Korea to incorporate South Korean elevator code. This will allow local manufacturers to supply products for future projects. The changes were presented to stakeholders and industry partners during an event jointly held with the Korean Lift Association (KOLA) and the Korean Elevator Safety Agency (KoELSA). The updates aim to cut costs and timelines for construction and maintenance, and more than 100 stakeholders participated in the event to learn about the technical requirements and how to do business with the district. FED worked with KoELSA to ensure a seamless inspection process for projects that incorporate the changes. The integration of Korean elevators into USACE projects in South Korea marks a significant milestone and is seen as a win for the ROK-U.S. Alliance.
