The winners of this year’s Samsung C&T Site Photo Contest are in and we have some spectacular snapshots of the company’s construction projects around the world.
Participants captured images of their colleagues in an amazingly diverse range of situations, whether persevering under the blazing sun, working high in the sky, or enjoying a moment of solidarity.
In the end, 120 photos were submitted. One of them was chosen for first place, another for second, and ten more for third divided into two categories. The results are truly inspiring.
First Place
This photo shows workers on a tower crane while the sun sets beyond the Star Residence site in Malaysia. The tranquility of the evening glow is contrasted with the intensity of the dizzying height the workers are able to cope with as they are driven by passion and energy. The image was captured by Kim Byung-yong, who was on site as a safety supervisor.
“The workers at the site were busy putting together a secondary crane to be used in dismantling the primary crane, and the sun was setting. I was impressed by their commitment to safety and patience and thought the glowing sky made for an amazing backdrop,” Kim explains.
“In completing this high-altitude, high-risk task, the crew worked together as a team and successfully dismantled the tower crane without a single safety incident,” he added.
Second Place
Teamwork takes various forms, and the workers at the T213 site in Singapore showed their willingness to come together and share an important message.
“The goal is for all site personnel from project partners to laborers to keep working together as a solitary unit and complete the remaining tasks of the project without running into any safety-related issues,” Lee Keun, who took this photo, says.
“The site’s project manager firmly believes accidents can be fully avoided if everyone involved takes an interest in and commits themselves to site safety, and so I asked folks at the site to stand in formation and took this photo that represents the site’s spirit of Together Safety,” Lee adds.
