HUG Conducts Special Inspection of Project Sites with Construction Suspended

HUG (Korea Housing and Urban Guarantee Corporation) announced that Lee Myungwon, its full-time auditor, inspected the status of major disaster prevention at guarantee-fulfilled project sites where construction was halted, over a two-day period starting July 13, 2026.

Auditor Lee visited rental apartments at Gunsan Superiche, and the Shinan Korea Adelium and Sugidong Korea Adelium sites in Gwangju. He checked on-site safety management practices, emergency disaster response systems for the rainy season and extreme heat, and inspected flood prevention facilities such as drainage systems prone to problems in summer, the risk of temporary fences and facility collapses, and break areas for security staff designed to prevent heat-related illnesses during periods of extreme heat.

This inspection was a follow-up to a previous safety check at the Sasang-gu site in Busan. The aim was to proactively address hazard risks at sites where construction has been suspended after guarantee-related incidents, and to verify whether the internal safety and health control system is functioning properly. Auditor Lee emphasized, "As construction has been suspended, thorough safety management and prioritizing the safety of everyone on site, including security workers, is vital."

The corporation also stated that, moving forward, it will connect on-site inspections by management and the audit division to eliminate risk factors at guarantee-fulfilled projects nationwide and strengthen on-site management systems.
