[Asia Economy Reporter La Young-cheol] Gyeonggi Province is inspecting compliance with safety management plans at major underground development construction sites in the province in preparation for the rainy season.

According to statistics from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's Underground Safety Information System (JIS), about 50% of ground subsidence accidents in the province occur between June and September.

The inspection targets are 35 underground development sites with excavations deeper than 10 meters, located in 13 cities and counties within the province, from May 31 to June 24.

An inspection team of 53 members called the 'Gyeonggi Underground Safety Keepers' will be formed to check the safety management of underground development projects and the implementation of underground safety evaluation consultations.

Park Jong-geun, Director of Construction Safety Technology Division, said, "Due to the nature of the projects, ground subsidence accidents caused by concentrated heavy rains during the rainy season are particularly concerning at underground development sites. We will ensure safe underground development projects through expert inspections and consultations."
