Bucheon-si and Korea Environment Corporation Provide Free Soundproofing Facility Rental for Construction Site Noise Complaints

Bucheon City in Gyeonggi Province has devised measures to address noise issues at small construction sites in collaboration with the Korea Environment Corporation.

According to the city on the 3rd, out of 2,869 environmental complaints received last year, 2,031 were noise-related, with a staggering 1,517 complaints attributed to construction site noise.

In response, Bucheon City plans to minimize residents' damage caused by construction noise by partnering with the Korea Environment Corporation to provide free rental of soundproofing facilities such as air soundproof walls, soundproof curtains, and blowers. The operation period will last until December 31 of this year.

The environmental architecture departments of each district office in Bucheon will thoroughly review the status of construction sites, rental periods, and utilization plans to lend soundproofing facilities to construction sites that require noise reduction measures.

The target sites are small-scale construction sites with a total floor area of less than 1,000㎡ currently under construction in Bucheon. Construction sites wishing to rent the equipment can visit the environmental architecture department of their respective district office and submit the necessary documents, including the application form.

A Bucheon City official stated, "We will actively respond to noise complaints in collaboration with the Korea Environment Corporation and strive to improve residents' quality of life," adding, "We plan to analyze the outcomes and effects of the rental project and continue its operation beyond next year."
