[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] The Sudogwon Landfill Site Management Corporation announced on the 6th that it has reported Company A to the police on charges of illegally subcontracting the maintenance work of the outer drainage channel of the second landfill site (violation of the Construction Industry Basic Act).


It was confirmed that this company, which received a subcontract worth 1.29 billion KRW from the construction company contracted by the landfill corporation, passed the work to another Company B for 950 million KRW. Company B reportedly carried out the construction until the end of April last year.


The Construction Industry Basic Act prohibits subcontracting that leads to poor-quality construction, and violators may face imprisonment of up to three years or a fine of up to 30 million KRW.


The landfill corporation also requested administrative action from Incheon City against the primary contractor that did not directly perform at least 20% of the total construction amount.



A representative of the Sudogwon Landfill Site Management Corporation stated, "We terminated the contract with the primary contractor as of the 15th of last month," and added, "If illegal subcontracting that causes poor-quality construction is confirmed, we will handle it according to the principles."
