Abstract

In the recent global construction environment, EPC contracts that integrate planning, design, procurement, and construction have been widely used for industrial facilities. Similarly, as the importance of the engineering capability such as project management consulting(PMC) and front end engineering design(FEED) has been increased, design-build contracts also have been gradually adopted for infrastructure projects. Whereas, the Korean infrastructure industry has fragmentary features which mainly emphasize on the construction sector. Therefore, this study aims at developing strategies for enhancing the engineering capability and for balancing the competitiveness between engineering and construction sectors in the Korean infrastructure industry. To this end, the authors first carried out market analysis for both global and domestic market. Then, a structured survey and expert in-depth interviews were sequentially performed in order to reflect practitioners' perspectives and needs for institutional strategies. As a result, five strategies drawn from this study are as follows: 1) rearranging the government's roles for supporting the engineering sector; 2) establishing institutional bases being compatible with global standards; 3) fostering value-added workforce for undertaking complex tasks; 4) constructing an consortium between an engineering association and general contractors; and 5) building a nationwide collaborative networks for overseas market expansion.

최근 해외건설시장에서는 산업설비 분야를 중심으로 기획, 설계, 구매조달, 시공을 통합하는 EPC(Engineering, Procurement, & Construction) 형태의 발주물량이 증가하고 있으며, 토목산업 분야에서도 점차 Design-Build 발주사례가 증가하고 있다. 이러한 발주환경의 변화에 따라 프로젝트종합관리, 기본설계 등 건설엔지니어링의 중요성이 대두되고 있으나, 아직까지 국내 건설산업은 시공 위주의 산업구조에서 벗어나지 못하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 국내 토목산업의 엔지니어링 역량을 제고하고, 장기적으로는 설계-시공 균형발전을 위한 산업 차원의 발전방안을 제시하는데 목적을 두고 진행되었다. 이를 위해 우선 국내외 건설산업 현황을 분석하였으며, 국내 건설업체들의 인식수준 및 니즈 파악을 위한 설문조사와 발전방안의 실효성 검토를 위한 전문가 심층면담을 순차적으로 진행하였다. 본 연구에서 도출한 국내 토목산업의 설계-시공 균형발전 방안은 1) 토목설계업 관리체계 효율화, 2) 토목설계업 관련 제도 선진화, 3) 고부가가치 우수인력 육성, 4) 엔지니어링조합 및 컨소시엄 구성, 5) 해외건설 협력기구 조직 및 운영으로 구분하여 제시되었다.
