Seoul City Holds First Meeting of Hyundai Motor GBC 'Safety Management Citizen Advisory Group'

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Min-young] The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced on the 8th that it will hold the first meeting of the 'Safety Management Citizens Advisory Group' to discuss safety management for the Hyundai Motor Company site special planning district complex facility (GBC) new construction project and the Yeongdong-daero area complex project.

The GBC is a 105-story supertall building to be constructed in Samseong-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, and is a large-scale multi-use facility linked with the Yeongdong-daero underground space complex development project. Seoul plans to appoint 30 people, including citizen experts and general citizens in fields such as architectural structure, construction, soil and foundation, and civil engineering structure, to conduct continuous safety management.

The Citizens Advisory Group can operate subcommittees for the GBC site, surrounding private buildings, roads, and the Yeongdong-daero complex transfer center according to safety management fields, and plans to reinforce citizen experts by field as the construction progresses.

Meanwhile, monitoring results such as groundwater level, vibration, and facility displacement at the site will be disclosed by opening a website. Seoul plans to prepare a system to disclose real-time measurement results of groundwater level, vibration, and facility displacement through collaboration with construction stakeholders and will collect opinions from the Citizens Advisory Group on this day.

Kim Seong-bo, Director of the Housing Policy Office of Seoul, said, "Considering the special characteristics of the supertall building of Hyundai Motor GBC and the special nature of the Yeongdong-daero underground space complex development, we will actively support the activities of the Safety Management Citizens Advisory Group, and Seoul will do its best to ensure citizens' safety even during the large-scale construction project period."
