Suncheon-si Builds a Safer and More Comfortable City through Aging Sewer Pipeline Maintenance

Safe and Clean Construction in Suncheon, Even Underground

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Suncheon City, Jeollanam-do (Mayor Heo Seok) announced on the 5th that the urban old sewage pipeline maintenance project, which began in 2019 to prevent ground subsidence (sinkholes) of roads and buildings caused by aging underground sewage pipelines, is nearing completion.

This year's completion targets include maintenance of 4.6 km of old sewage pipelines in the new town area costing 6.1 billion KRW, 4.8 km in the Deokyeon district costing 5.3 billion KRW, and 5.4 km in the downtown area costing 4.8 billion KRW, totaling 14.8 km with a total project cost of 16.2 billion KRW, including 8.1 billion KRW in national funds.

The city is making every effort to complete the project this year by securing the entire project budget through close cooperation with Jeollanam-do, Yeongsangang River Basin Environmental Office, and the Ministry of Environment.

In particular, Soongsil General Construction Co., Ltd., which is carrying out construction from Seomyeon Administrative Welfare Center to the area around Suncheon Station, is conducting the work while listening to residents' opinions to ensure no damage occurs to citizens' lives and property, thereby significantly increasing citizen satisfaction with the sewage construction site.

A city official stated, "Once this year's old sewage pipeline maintenance project is completed, a beautiful garden city extending underground is expected to be created for the 2023 Suncheonman International Garden Expo," and added, "We will continue to promptly respond to any areas at risk of ground subsidence to prevent damage to citizens' lives and property and do our best in preventive administration."
