[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Sancheong-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 15th that it is promoting a computerized project to build and update a spatial information database for roads and underground facilities.

The road and underground facility spatial information computerization project is a core infrastructure construction project to establish an urban infrastructure management system.

By integrating the management of major underground facilities built by related organizations such as roads, water supply and sewage, as well as gas, communication, and electricity, it is possible to prevent various safety accidents and improve efficiency when promoting underground facility-related projects in the future.

Since 2015 until 2019, the county received 1.2 billion KRW in national funding to promote the first phase of the road and underground facility informatization project, completing the computerization of the Sancheong-eup area.

The second phase project started in 2020 and will continue until 2026. With a total project cost of 1.476 billion KRW, information on a total of 180 km including 56 km of roads, 38 km of water supply, and 86 km of sewage within the jurisdiction will be constructed.

Last year, the county invested 100 million KRW to update information in the previously constructed areas and to build computerized information for Geumseo-myeon and other areas.

This year, with an investment of 180 million KRW, computerized information was constructed through investigation and exploration of 4.1 km of roads, 5.5 km of water supply, and 6.5 km of sewage in part of the urban area of Sinan-myeon.

From next year, the remaining areas of Sinan-myeon and the Danseong and Sicheon-myeon areas will be computerized for road and underground facility information.

The Sancheong-gun city gas supply project, with a total investment of 52.4 billion KRW, will proceed in phases until 2023.

Korea Gas Corporation and GS E&C will install about 54 km of city gas pipelines in Sancheong-eup and Geumseo-myeon by 2023. Once this project is completed, about 2,400 households in the area will benefit.

A county official said, “Currently, in our Sancheong-gun, underground facility installation work such as city gas and water and sewage pipelines is actively underway, so safety management of these facilities is important,” adding, “We will strive for systematic underground facility management through accurate computerized information construction.”
