Gyeonggi-do Conducts Safety Inspections to Prevent Rockfalls and Collapses on Steep Slopes Ahead of Monsoon Season

Checking Implementation of Safety Measures and Completion of Major Maintenance Project Processes

[Asia Economy Reporter Ra Young-cheol] Gyeonggi Province is taking measures to prevent accidents such as rockfalls and collapses on steep slopes ahead of the rainy season.

According to the province on the 10th, a sample safety inspection of steep slopes in preparation for the rainy season is planned from the 17th to the 23rd.

This inspection targets two sites under the steep slope maintenance project currently underway in Gapyeong-gun and four sites (two in Hwaseong-si, two in Icheon-si) among ten sites subject to the joint public-private safety inspection during the thawing season conducted by the province, where short-term corrective actions were notified.

The province will focus on checking whether the main construction stages of the maintenance projects in these areas have been completed before the rainy season, whether safety measures for the rainy season have been implemented, and whether issues pointed out during the thawing season inspection have been addressed.

After the inspection, the results will be notified to the management departments of the respective cities and counties to ensure that corrective actions on the pointed-out issues are promptly taken.

In addition, apart from the sample inspection, the province plans to conduct safety inspections for the rainy season on 196 steep slope sites within the province, led by the cities and counties, throughout the month of June.
