Yongin City to Conduct Safety Inspections at 129 Large Construction Sites Until the 2nd of Next Month

Yongin City will conduct safety inspections on large construction sites.

Yongin City in Gyeonggi Province will conduct safety inspections on 129 large construction sites within the city by the 2nd of next month to prevent accidents that may occur due to heavy summer rains and heatwaves.

Yongin City has organized inspection teams into three groups to focus on construction sites near mountainous areas vulnerable to heavy rains, excavation and earth retaining works, and underground excavation sites with drainage difficulties.

The main inspection items include ▲ the appropriateness of excavation slope angles ▲ monitoring and management status of earth retaining structures ▲ establishment of rainy season flood prevention plans and management of flood prevention materials ▲ and whether a cooperative system with related agencies is in place during disasters.

In addition, to prepare for heatwaves, construction sites with a project cost exceeding 2 billion KRW will be inspected for the provision of worker rest facilities and the availability of bottled water.

Yongin City will immediately order corrective actions for sites with insufficient safety measures based on the inspection results and will continuously monitor improvements.

A Yongin City official explained, "As the rainy season begins in earnest, the ground weakens, increasing the likelihood of various disaster accidents such as soil erosion and slope collapse at construction sites. This is a proactive measure to prevent such incidents," adding, "The inspection targets are large-scale construction sites with a total floor area exceeding 2,000 square meters."
