Changnyeong-gun, New Technology to Maximize Worker Safety and Work Efficiency

Operation of Power Wood Crusher Attached to Excavator

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Wook] Changnyeong-gun, Gyeongnam Province, is purchasing and operating a 'power wood chipper attached to an excavator' to efficiently manage local roads and prevent worker safety accidents.

Until now, the slopes of the county roads have been steep, making it very difficult for workers to remove underbrush, and the narrow work areas exposed them to safety accidents.

The county additionally purchased a power wood chipper for removing underbrush on road slopes this year for 19 million KRW to prevent worker safety accidents and efficiently manage local roads.

A county official said, "We will actively strive to establish traffic order in the county by efficiently managing local roads, such as removing underbrush that obstructs visibility with the power wood chipper, and preventing worker safety accidents."

The county annually conducts roadside weeding work using road maintenance workers and 15-ton dump truck-mounted power mowers to manage 594 km of 399 routes, including the delegated national road No. 20.
