[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Hapcheon-gun, Gyeongnam was finally selected for the smart sewage management system construction pilot project in September last year and will proceed from 2023 to 2024.

This project enables proactive response based on real-time monitoring, remote control management, intelligence, history management, and identification of risk factors for each facility using information and communication technology (ICT) throughout the entire sewage treatment process.

It is also a project to build an optimal maintenance management system for assets through database creation of asset status to extend the lifespan of sewage facilities and reduce maintenance costs using systematic maintenance techniques.

Through this selected project, it is expected that the service level related to sewage facilities such as sewage treatment plants and sewage pipelines will be improved, and competitiveness will be further strengthened by introducing smart technologies in the sewage sector such as remaining lifespan prediction and extension, and improvement demand analysis for efficient management and maintenance cost reduction.

Governor Moon emphasized, “We will establish a management system for sewage facilities, set values and predict lifespan, analyze risk levels and social costs, and establish a long-term sewage facility asset management plan and strategy so that residents and officials can understand at a glance and detect safety.”
