Notification of Specific Construction Work

Among the construction work being carried out, work that generates significant noise and vibration is designated as specific construction work under the Noise Control Act and the Vibration Control Act, and the contractor is required to submit a notification of implementation at least 7 days prior to the commencement of the work.

Regarding the Implementation of Specific Construction Work

When conducting specific construction work, construction contractors and project owners should ensure that they implement notifications, comply with regulatory standards, and take sufficient care to prevent noise, vibration, dust, and other issues arising from construction work from affecting human health or the living environment.
Additionally, please inform nearby residents about the nature and schedule of the work, and respond sincerely in the event of complaints.
