Construction site of the Eumnae Drainage Pump Station in Uljin-gun.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Park Dong-wook] Uljin County, Gyeongbuk announced on the 25th that it will intensify the drainage pump station project to prevent damage to houses and commercial buildings in the area near the KT Uljin branch in Eupnae-ri, Uljin-eup, which is repeatedly flooded every year during typhoon invasions.

The Eupnae Drainage Pump Station installation project is part of the recovery efforts from Typhoon Mitag (No. 18) in 2019, with a total project cost of 15.226 billion KRW (12.942 billion KRW from the national government, 1.142 billion KRW from the provincial government, and 1.142 billion KRW from special grants).

Uljin County completed the basic and detailed designs and started construction in August last year. Currently, they are preparing for the construction of the interceptor sewer and the installation of the drainage pump station in front of the post office.

With this construction, 1.2 km of sewer improvement, a pump station (210 tons per minute), and a 2,000-ton retention basin will be installed, creating facilities that will separately handle drainage around the KT Uljin branch and the post office, independent of the existing drainage pump station.

Once the Eupnae Drainage Pump Station is completed, the treatment areas will be divided from the existing pump station, which is expected to greatly contribute to preventing flooding damage to houses and commercial buildings around the KT Uljin branch and the post office.

A representative from the Uljin County Clean Water Project Office stated, "Noise, dust, and traffic inconveniences are expected due to the installation of sewer pipes and the drainage pump station construction," adding, "We will do our best to thoroughly manage the schedule for early completion."
