[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Yangcheon-gu conducted an emergency inspection of large construction sites in the area on the afternoon of the 14th.

This was to establish a proactive safety management system through thorough inspections in relation to the recent accident at a construction site in Hwajeong-dong, Gwangju, and to prevent similar accidents.

On that day, a joint inspection team composed of officials from the Architecture Department, architects, and structural engineers visited a new construction site for neighborhood living facilities and office facilities (323-6 Sinjeong-dong) to focus on items such as concrete quality (compressive strength), tower crane bracing, falling object prevention nets, and safety railings.

In particular, on floors where concrete was recently poured, compressive strength was checked using a Schmidt hammer on the walls, and quality inspection and compliance with curing periods were verified.

The district plans to thoroughly manage and supervise the ongoing emergency site inspections by immediately correcting minor issues on the spot, taking emergency measures and preparing separate supplementary plans if serious defects are found, and ensuring safety measures are implemented.
