Gyeongnam Hamyang County Office.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Hamyang-gun, Gyeongnam Province, has decided to completely halt winter construction projects within the county from the 1st of this month until the end of February next year to prevent deterioration in construction quality and poor workmanship caused by the sudden drop in temperature.

The Korea Meteorological Administration forecasted that this winter's temperatures are expected to be lower than or similar to the average year, with significant temperature fluctuations due to periodic influences from continental high pressure and mobile high pressure systems. It also predicted that cold weather will occur when the cold continental high pressure expands.

Accordingly, the county has ordered a complete suspension of construction work for types of work prone to winter damage, such as concrete work, at large construction sites within the county to ensure thorough quality and safety management.

If winter construction is necessary for certain types of work, a winter construction plan must be established and approved by the client before proceeding. The county plans to ensure quality and safety management by issuing winter construction precautions for each type of construction work.

In particular, to enable prompt response to various disasters such as heavy snowfall during winter, emergency recovery equipment will be secured, and the on-site emergency contact network will be reorganized to ensure full preparedness.

Jo Young-hyun, Director of the Construction and Transportation Division, stated, “This preemptive suspension of construction is to prevent poor workmanship and deterioration of construction quality.” He added, “We will make every effort to ensure safety during this winter period and to facilitate smooth construction projects next year.”
