‘Creating Safe and Clean Streets’ … POSCO Pohang Steelworks Conducts ‘Clean Road’ Project for 2 Months

Road Cleaning Around Cheongnim-dong with Water Sprinkler Trucks for Two Months Starting July

POSCO Pohang Steelworks Production Technology Department is conducting the Clean Road project using water spray trucks.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yeo Jong-gu] POSCO Pohang Steelworks has launched a 'Clean Road' project to create a pleasant residential environment in the local community by cleaning roads with water trucks.

Starting from the 25th, Pohang Steelworks began the Clean Road project by spraying water on the roads of Cheongnim-dong nearby using water trucks that are used at the product pier, and plans to continue this for about two months.

This project is expected to remove dust and fine particles in residential areas while also reducing the heat island effect by lowering the radiant heat on the road surface during the hot summer.

Until now, the area around Cheongnim-dong in Pohang has experienced the influx of fine dust and dust into residential areas due to the steel industrial complex and the operation of large freight vehicles.

The Production Technology Department of Pohang Steelworks plans to collaborate with the product shipping section to extend the operation route of water trucks, which handle falling materials such as iron ore and coal at the new port, to major arterial roads around Cheongnim-dong.

The length of the arterial roads is about 6 km, and water trucks carrying POSCO recycled water are scheduled to operate once in the morning and once in the afternoon.
