We are conducting surveys of block walls, etc.

　Inagi City is conducting surveys to check the condition of concrete block walls, masonry walls, permanent walls, etc.
This survey is being conducted to understand the current situation, based on the results of the survey of block walls, etc. conducted in 2018.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

December 2024 to January 2025 (planned)

The survey will be conducted by selecting locations from the survey of block walls, etc. conducted in 2018.

• City officials will investigate.
• We measure the height and length of the fence, check for any tilt or damage, and take photographs.
• Inspect the premises from the outside.

• No attendance is required.
• We will contact you when we conduct an investigation. (We will investigate even if you are not at home.)
• City employees do not conduct business.
• Based on the results of the investigation, we may send notices to owners and other parties requesting them to manage their block walls and providing information on related systems.

　Block walls and other structures are at risk of collapsing due to natural disasters such as earthquakes or as a result of aging. If they collapse, it can not only cause personal injury, but also hinder evacuation and rescue efforts.
First of all, we ask for your cooperation in safety inspections of any block walls or other structures you own to see if they are leaning or have cracks.

　Inspection items (visual inspection)

1. Is the wall too high?
2. Is the wall thick enough?
3. Is there a retaining wall?
4. Do you have the foundation?
5. Is the fence leaning, cracked or shaky?
