Following Typhoon Traces to Taehwagang Riverside for 'Commute'

Garbage and Soil Collection, Trail Maintenance

Now it's time for recovery!


Employees of Korea National Oil Corporation (President Kim Dong-seop) stopped their work and took to the streets on the 11th. They followed the traces left by Typhoon "Khanun" around the Taehwagang Riverside Citizen Sports Park and walking trails. They were pouring great effort into volunteer work for damage recovery.


The day after Khanun passed, the oil corporation employees joined forces with Ulsan Jung-gu Office staff to jump into recovery efforts. They swept away the soil and debris pushed onto the riverbank by the typhoon around Taehwagang in Ulsan. They busily cleared household waste and mud heaps from the walking trails and sports park.


Taehwagang is a symbolic tourist spot in Ulsan, designated as a National Garden in 2019, widely used as a space for citizen walks, sports activities, and cultural and artistic events. Due to the heavy rain and strong winds from this typhoon, the walking trails and sports park around Taehwagang were suffering from trash and soil deposits.


On that day, the oil corporation employees "forgot the office" and gathered early in the morning around Taehwagang to ease the inconvenience of tourists and residents. They contributed their hands to swift recovery work by cleaning up the soil, broken branches, and household waste that had piled up.



Korea National Oil Corporation drew on its experience from last September when Typhoon Hinnamnor swept through the Ulsan area. At that time, they also promptly engaged in damage recovery activities, helping to restore daily life in Ulsan sooner. They are people who pledged to take the lead in damage recovery efforts against future natural disasters that may strike at any time.

Employees of the Korea National Oil Corporation are carrying out typhoon Khanun damage restoration work on the banks of the Taehwa River in Ulsan on the 11th.
