Dongdaemun-gu, Drone Utilization for Safety Inspection of Spires Over 4m

Safety Check of 34 Religious Facility Steeples by November... Preventing Strong Wind Accidents
Secondary Detailed Inspection for Hard-to-Access Points After Primary Structural Engineer Confirmation

Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul (Mayor Lee Pil-hyung) will conduct safety inspections on 34 religious facility spires exceeding 4 meters in height within the district until November.

This inspection aims to prevent safety accidents in facilities vulnerable to strong winds. A joint inspection team, consisting of structural engineers and members of the Advanced Technology Safety Inspection Association, will carry out the spire inspections.

Based on last year's survey results, structural engineers will perform a primary visual inspection of the spires, checking for ▲damage to connection points ▲degree of tilt ▲foundation conditions.

Subsequently, a secondary inspection using drones will be conducted for facilities requiring further detailed examination or those difficult to access.

For spires deemed in need of maintenance after the inspection, the management entities will be guided on repairs and reinforcements to prevent any potential accidents.

Lee Pil-hyung, Mayor of Dongdaemun-gu, stated, “We will thoroughly inspect even hard-to-reach points using drones to protect the lives and property of our residents.”
