Gyeonggi-do Conducts Joint On-Site Inspections at 11 Disaster Recovery Sites Ahead of Thawing Season

Gyeonggi Province will conduct a joint inspection on safety management at disaster recovery project sites ahead of the spring thaw season.

Gyeonggi Province announced that from the 6th to the 8th, it will carry out joint inspections together with city and county officials at 11 disaster recovery project sites across five cities and counties, including Yangpyeong-gun, where project scales are large or there are difficulties in project implementation.

For other project sites besides these 11 joint inspection targets, Gyeonggi Province will conduct self-inspections by the cities and counties and written inspections by the province, and will carry out additional joint inspections if abnormal situations such as project delays occur.

The main inspection items include ▲whether safety measures are in place for hazardous facilities such as collapses, washouts, overturns, and falling rocks ▲the status of emergency recovery facility management (such as tonmadae and waterproof sheets) and whether aging or damaged facilities have been supplemented ▲whether safety facilities to prevent human casualties (such as fall prevention and traffic blocking) have been installed ▲and whether safety management plans have been established within the affected areas to prepare for emergency situations such as heavy rain.

Gyeonggi Province sets the principle that small to medium-sized disaster recovery projects should be completed before the rainy season, and for large-scale projects where completion before the rainy season is physically impossible, it plans to finish the relevant processes by intensively deploying equipment and manpower to disaster-vulnerable sections.

This joint inspection is the first inspection since the formation of the ‘Disaster Recovery Project Joint Inspection Team’ in December last year, which includes the provincial disaster department and departments managing roads, rivers, and agricultural infrastructure, and it is expected to secure connectivity with facility management tasks.

The joint inspection team plans to move beyond simply managing progress rates and pointing out issues, actively listening to difficulties faced by the cities and counties directly implementing the projects, and actively advising on early completion plans for disaster recovery projects.

Furthermore, urgent or minor issues found during the inspection will be addressed immediately on site. For matters requiring follow-up actions such as repairs and reinforcements, the relevant cities and counties will be notified to complete the actions within a few days, ensuring continuous management.
