Namwon-si Conducts Safety Inspection at Apartment Construction Sites

[Namwon=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jeong Young-kwon] Namwon City, Jeonbuk, announced on the 21st that it will conduct an emergency safety inspection on apartment sites under structural construction within the jurisdiction in relation to the recent apartment exterior wall collapse accident at a new apartment construction site in Seo-gu, Gwangju.

On the previous day, the city visited the construction site of O2 Grande First City in Sinjeong-dong, a multi-family housing construction site under construction in the jurisdiction, to conduct a safety inspection.

The multi-family housing consists of 8 buildings with 2 basement floors and 15 above-ground floors, currently under construction from the 9th to the 15th floor, with a progress rate of 51%.

This inspection was conducted jointly by Namwon City, the Safety Inspection Team of the Jeollabuk-do Provincial Safety Office, and external experts (construction).

They focused on areas with a high possibility of safety accidents such as concrete pouring and curing, which are risky in winter, and ground subsidence, and checked for any internal risk factors within the construction site.

The head of the Namwon City Architecture Department emphasized, "Safety first and safety second," and said, "Since unfortunate situations are repeatedly occurring due to recent construction site safety accidents, please do your best to prevent similar accidents."

The city plans to continue conducting safety inspections on four apartment construction sites currently under construction to ensure thorough prevention of safety accidents through solid construction and safety management.
