The city checked eight large factory construction sites with factory site areas exceeding 10,000 square meters, reviewing flood damage prevention measures such as preparation for inundation and flooding during heavy rain, and the condition of drainage facilities.

The inspection also included a review of the safety management status of temporary structures such as retaining walls (structures installed to prevent ground collapse and groundwater inflow during underground excavation) and slopes at the sites.

As a result of the inspection, the city confirmed that drainage facilities and slope management at seven of the eight sites where construction is underway were in good condition.

At the remaining site, which has not yet started construction, the city checked the status of on-site maintenance instead of a safety inspection. The city plans to continuously monitor safety management at this site once construction begins.

A Yongin City official stated, "We have provided site personnel with a rainy season safety inspection checklist and will urge them to maintain an organic emergency contact system with related agencies to prepare for unforeseen disasters," adding, "We will strengthen monitoring of construction sites against heavy rain and strong winds to prevent disaster-related accidents."
