- Iraq Family Rebuilds with Hanwha Engineering & Construction Assistance
In September of 2019, Hanwha Engineering & Construction held a welcome home ceremony for a family living in Bismayah, Iraq. The family, which includes several elderly relatives, had been rendered homeless the previous April when an electrical fire destroyed the interior of their apartment and all their belongings. When senior management of Hanwha Engineering & Construction in Iraq heard of the incident, they immediately pledged to rebuild the family’s home at no cost.
The decision to assist the family came about because Hanwha Engineering & Construction is planting deep roots in Iraq. Beyond assisting in the country’s physical reconstruction with the Bismayah New City Project, Hanwha Engineering & Construction seeks to help Iraqis rebuild their lives and dream of brighter futures.
The project proved to be a challenge. Repairing the apartment’s floors and ceilings was particularly difficult because of their proximity to the building’s load-bearing structure. However, Hanwha Engineering & Construction was not deterred.
Many personnel and resources were allocated to the rebuilding project so it would progress as quickly as possible. Due to the speed at which the project progressed, each step needed to be closely monitored and supervised to make sure everything was done perfectly and passed inspection.
Senior members of Hanwha Engineering & Construction, including Won Joo Lee, Executive Vice President of Overseas Business Division and Iraq Construction Unit at Hanwha Engineering & Construction, also volunteered their time in rebuilding the apartment.
“We’re sparing no effort in Iraq,” said a Hanwha Engineering & Construction spokesperson. “Whether it’s building an entire city or rebuilding a single home, everyone at Hanwha Engineering & Construction, from staff to senior directors, will do everything we can to create hope in Iraq.”

- Hanwha Techwin Takes the Spotlight at SECUTECH VIETNAM 2019
Hanwha Techwin rolled out an array of attention-grabbing products at SECUTECH VIETNAM 2019, Vietnam’s largest security trade show, in Ho Chi Minh City. These products are intended to service several major verticals – including smart factories, smart cities, retail and seaports.
Front and center were Hanwha Techwin’s smart city solutions targeting the Vietnamese government’s active interest in developing new smart cities. Products that help manage hectic urban streets were of particular interest, including multi-directional cameras, AI monitoring solutions, and Hanwha Techwin’s proprietary integrated management software.
As Vietnam has a lengthy coastline, Hanwha Techwin’s seaport solutions also attracted the audience’s attention. The company’s seaport cameras feature stainless steel construction that is highly resistant to corrosion from salty and humid sea air. Meanwhile, the cameras’ image stitching feature allows operators to merge multiple images together, which helps to track and monitor container trucks coming in and out of seaports better.
The company also drew rave reviews by demonstrating how AI monitoring can be used to greatly improve industrial safety. Hanwha Techwin’s monitoring software can immediately identify dangerous behavior (such as workers not wearing hard hats in designated areas) as well as hazards and accidents that require immediate responses.
A source at Hanwha Techwin said, “We are highly interested in Vietnam as Hanwha is running diverse businesses in the country.” The employee added, “Hanwha Techwin will do our best to build smart video surveillance solutions tailored to Vietnam.”
