Gangseo-gu Conducts Intensive Inspections at 523 Locations to Prevent Safety Accidents During Thawing Season

Gangseo-gu, Seoul (Mayor Jin Gyo-hoon) will conduct safety inspections of vulnerable facilities and buildings by the 26th of this month to prevent safety accidents during the thawing season. The thawing season is a period when the ground surface, frozen during winter, weakens due to rising temperatures, increasing the risk of safety accidents such as collapse, toppling, and falling rocks.

The inspection targets include ▲steep slopes ▲areas vulnerable to landslides ▲excavation construction sites ▲aged buildings ▲road facilities ▲retaining walls and embankments, totaling 523 locations.

The inspection team will visit sites directly to focus on ▲cracks and subsidence in steep slopes and retaining walls ▲maintenance status of facilities ▲cracks and deformations in D and E grade and other aged buildings, identifying risk factors.

If serious defects are found or urgent repairs and reinforcements are needed, measures such as usage restrictions and detailed safety inspections will be implemented to ensure residents' safety.
