[Alpha Biz=(Chicago) Reporter Kim Jisun] The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport will push to suspend GS E&C for a total of 10 months to hold it responsible for the collapse of the underground parking lot of the Geomdan apartment in Incheon due to the omission of steel bars.

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport plans to push for an eight-month suspension under the authority of the Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport for the GS E&C consortium and its suppliers, a Geomdan apartment construction company that caused the collapse of an underground parking lot. In addition, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport plans to ask the Seoul Metropolitan Government to suspend GS Engineering & Construction's consortium for two months.

The consortium of Mokyang Architects, the construction project manager, will be suspended for six months due to intentional or gross negligence. The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport will ask Gyeonggi Province to issue a two-month suspension on the grounds that it omitted construction, inspection and testing of major construction structures.

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport plans to ask the Seoul Metropolitan Government to cancel its qualification registration or suspend its work for two years for a consortium of design firm Wired Engineering Architects. For related professional engineers, the head of the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Land, Infrastructure and Transport has decided to dispose of one year of suspension. The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport has decided to ask the police to investigate whether design, construction and supervision companies violate related laws.

Meanwhile, there was a lack of concrete strength such as the inner walls of Jugeo-dong at the site of the Gumdan apartment accident where the underground parking lot collapsed. The Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) commissioned the Korean Architectural Association to conduct a precision safety diagnosis after the collapse.
