Gyeonggi-do Conducts Emergency Inspections at 307 Demolition Sites in Preparation for Heavy Rainfall

Gyeonggi Provincial Government

Gyeonggi Province will conduct safety inspections on 307 demolition sites by the 23rd of next month to prepare for heavy summer rains and typhoons.

This inspection will be carried out jointly by the province, city and county officials, and private experts, alongside independent inspections by the cities and counties.

According to the current Building Management Act, the inspection targets are 307 construction sites in 12 cities, including Seongnam-si, that have received demolition permits.

The main inspection items include ▲ the adequacy of pedestrian safety facilities, protection and prevention nets against falling objects ▲ the installation and deformation status of external scaffolding and temporary construction fences ▲ compliance with the demolition plan ▲ securing drainage channels and management of sedimentation tanks and sewage pipelines.

Gyeonggi Province will issue immediate correction orders on-site for urgent matters found during the inspection, request corrections from building owners for necessary actions, and take administrative measures such as filing complaints and imposing fines if violations of laws are confirmed.

Go Yong-su, Director of the Architectural Design Division of the province, emphasized, "Demolition sites are vulnerable to heavy summer rains and typhoons, so safety management is as important as for new construction sites. We will continue to conduct regular inspections and prioritize the safety of residents in our work."
