Seoul City Hosts 'Sewer Pipe Joint Technology Competition' to Discover Advanced Sewer Quality Technologies

To Address Road Sinkholes and Soil Pollution, Discover Leak-Proof Materials and Technologies for Sewer Pipes... Applications Close on the 16th
Exhibition and Evaluation of Sewer Pipe Sealing Materials on the 27th, Local District Joint Technology Competition Held

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced on the 1st that it will hold the ‘Sewer Pipe Joint Technology Competition’ on the 27th at the Jungnang Water Reclamation Center to discover excellent products and technologies to prevent sewer pipe separation and leakage, which are major causes of road subsidence and soil contamination.

This competition was newly established this year to introduce technologies that can repair and maintain sewer pipelines with separated joints due to aging more quickly and sturdily, aiming to advance the quality of sewer systems throughout Seoul.

The Seoul Sewer Pipe Joint Technology Competition is a contest to compete in sewer pipe joint technologies for building high-quality sewer systems. It is divided into two categories: sewer pipeline construction material competition and sewer pipe joint technology construction. Based on the evaluation results, excellent products and technologies will be actively utilized in Seoul’s sewer construction projects.

Companies and autonomous districts wishing to participate can check the announcement on the Seoul Metropolitan Government website by the 16th, then fill out the proposal and application forms and submit them via email, in person, or by mail.

To prevent and control the spread of COVID-19, Seoul plans to minimize the number of attendees and will strictly adhere to infectious disease prevention guidelines while operating the competition site.

Choi Jin-seok, Director of the Water Circulation Safety Bureau, said, “Through this competition, we will discover and utilize excellent products and induce quality improvement during construction to build safe sewer systems without road subsidence. We hope this competition will serve as an opportunity to discover excellent products from private companies struggling due to COVID-19, and that it will greatly contribute to revitalizing the economy through job creation in related industries.”
