'Gwangju Collapse Accident' Debris Removed from 22nd Floor... "Removing Additional Fall Factors"

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] The removal work of debris to eliminate additional risk factors at Hwajeong I-Park in Seo-gu, Gwangju, where the exterior walls and others collapsed, has begun.

According to Seo-gu, Gwangju on the 3rd, the construction company HDC Hyundai Development Company is pushing the debris protruding westward from the 22nd floor of Building 201, which collapsed, inward.

Since there is a nearby residential-commercial complex building to the west, this work was initiated due to safety concerns.

Subsequently, mini excavators and other equipment will be mobilized to remove and transport the debris in earnest.

This debris occurred when about 26 tons of concrete chunks hanging from the corner of the 28th floor on the west side fell on the 23rd day after the collapse accident, on the 2nd of last month.

HDC Hyundai Development Company has also prepared measures to prevent damage during the debris removal process by installing a safety fence 11 meters high.

In addition, the review procedures by related agencies for dismantling the structures from the 23rd to the 38th floors, a total of 16 floors that collapsed, are underway, and equipment such as tower cranes and gondolas are expected to be deployed by the end of this month.

Meanwhile, on January 11th at around 3:47 p.m., while pouring concrete on the rooftop of the 39th floor at the new construction site, the exterior walls and structures from the 23rd to the 38th floors collapsed, resulting in the deaths of six site workers.
