Promotion of Safety and Reliability Enhancement Using 4th Industrial New Technologies

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Heo Seon-sik] Yeosu Gwangyang Port Authority (President Cha Min-sik) announced on the 24th that it will officially begin detailed safety inspections of 22 port facilities, including Yeosu and Gwangyang port docks and bridges.

Prior to this, the authority held a kickoff meeting for the port facility performance evaluation and detailed safety inspection service the day before.

At the kickoff meeting, discussions were held on the utilization of 4th industrial revolution technologies such as underwater drones, side scan sonar, and GPR exploration.

By applying new technologies to this safety inspection service, the plan is to ensure the safety of participating technicians and improve the reliability of facility investigations.

This service proactively includes safety inspections of facilities beyond the legally mandated inspection targets under the 'Facility Safety Act,' and based on the inspection results, maintenance and reinforcement plans will be prepared for facilities requiring repair, with budgets secured to carry out the repairs.

Choi Sang-heon, Head of the Development Project Headquarters, stated, “We will do our best to prevent any gaps in facility safety by continuously conducting safety inspections and proactively implementing maintenance and reinforcement.”
