The city of Suwon in Gyeonggi Province has signed an agreement with construction companies to record videos of completed rebar placement on each floor during redevelopment and reconstruction projects.


On the 4th, Suwon City announced that it signed a business agreement in the city hall situation room with GS Construction (Yeongtong 2 District), Samsung C&T Corporation (Gwonseon 113-6 District), Jungheung Construction (District 115-10), the Yeongtong 2 District Housing Reconstruction Maintenance Association, the Gwonseon 113-6 District Housing Redevelopment Maintenance Association, and the 115-10 District Housing Redevelopment Maintenance Association to strengthen quality and safety management at construction sites.


According to the agreement, at redevelopment and reconstruction construction sites within the jurisdiction, videos must be recorded each time the rebar placement is completed for major structural components such as load-bearing walls, columns, floors, beams, roof frames, and main staircases on all floors including underground levels. Previously, videos of completed rebar placement were recorded every five floors above ground.


Additionally, the number of quality inspections for apartment complexes, which were previously conducted twice?one month before and after the completion of the frame construction and before the usage inspection?will be expanded to three times. The additional quality inspection will take place during the frame construction of the standard floor.


Suwon City plans to verify the implementation of this agreement through on-site inspections in November.



Lee Jae-jun, mayor of Suwon, stated, "Recently, accidents have occurred repeatedly at apartment construction sites, increasing citizens' anxiety. We hope this agreement will prevent accidents and improve apartment quality. We will strive to ensure that these quality and safety management measures spread to other construction sites."
