Safety Inspection of Block Walls and Similar Structures

Block walls and similar structures may collapse due to natural disasters such as earthquakes or due to aging. If they collapse, it could not only cause harm to people but also hinder evacuation and rescue activities.
First, please cooperate in safety inspections to check if the block walls or similar structures you own are leaning or have cracks.

Inspection Items (Visual Inspection)

1. Isn't the fence too high?
2. Is the thickness of the wall sufficient?
3. Is there a retaining wall?
4. Do you have a foundation?
5. Is there any tilting, cracking, or shaking in the fence?

For more details, please check the 'Inspection Checkpoints for Block Walls, etc.' below.
