All Muryang Panel Structure Apartments in Anyang Area 'Completely Safe'

A safety inspection agency designated by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport conducted an inspection last month on apartments with flat slab structures in Anyang City, in the presence of Anyang City and the Korea Infrastructure Safety & Technology Corporation.

It has been confirmed that the flat slab structure apartments in the Anyang area of Gyeonggi Province are safe.

On the 26th, Anyang City announced that after inspecting the rebar omission and concrete strength of flat slab structure apartments in the jurisdiction in relation to the collapse accident at the Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) apartment construction site that occurred last April, no abnormalities were found.

The apartments inspected included three currently under construction with flat slab structures and two private apartments completed since 2017, totaling five locations.

A safety inspection agency designated by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport conducted the inspection from the 4th to the 14th of last month, in the presence of Anyang City and the Korea Infrastructure Safety & Technology Corporation.

The safety inspection agency reviewed the appropriateness of the design documents in advance, then conducted non-destructive tests on site such as concrete compressive strength tests and rebar detection. After the investigation, the Korea Infrastructure Safety & Technology Corporation verified the results.

The inspection results showed that no rebar omissions were found in all five apartments, and the concrete strength was appropriate.

Earlier, on the 22nd of last month, Anyang City signed a business agreement with seven construction companies carrying out large-scale housing construction projects such as redevelopment and reconstruction in the jurisdiction, including expanding video recording and preventing noise between floors, and is thoroughly inspecting sites and supervision conditions.

An Anyang City official stated, "We will do our best to improve the quality of housing construction work and prevent poor construction to protect the residential safety of citizens."
