On the 22nd, Yongin City announced that it will participate in the "Comprehensive Survey of Multi-family Housing Adopting Flat Slab Construction Method" promoted by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, focusing on inspecting the quality of structural components.

The inspection targets are private apartments that have adopted the flat slab structure since 2017.

The city plans to participate in the Ministry of Land’s comprehensive survey until the 18th of next month, directly examining the safety conditions of underground parking lots, residential buildings, and common facilities.

Earlier this month, the city, together with architectural structural engineers, conducted a preliminary inspection of these complexes to verify the appropriateness of rebar placement and the assurance of structural safety.

Separately, from the 17th of last month to the 16th of this month, the city conducted its own safety inspections on 20 multi-family housing construction sites under construction within the region. The inspections were carried out by forming a joint inspection team and a multi-family housing quality inspection team, focusing on six items across three areas: construction safety, design and construction, and quality control.

During the inspections, focusing mainly on 15 sites undergoing reinforced concrete processes, the city thoroughly checked the state of rebar placement and the adequacy of concrete strength, confirming that there were no structural safety issues. The other five sites, where construction was either completed or earthworks for ground filling were underway, were also carefully reviewed against design documents to verify safety conditions.

A Yongin City official stated, “We will actively cooperate with the government’s strong measures to enhance the safety of multi-family housing and create a construction environment that citizens can trust.”
