Town plans to maneuver away from the customary small sidewalk blocks and apply giant sidewalk blocks with wonderful flatness, views, and sturdiness all through town.
Massive sidewalk blocks are roughly 500×500mm in dimension, which is bigger than the prevailing synthetic granite blocks (200×200mm) and interlocking blocks (200×100mm). On account of its excessive flatness, uneven street surfaces may be minimized.
Nevertheless, as a result of giant sidewalk blocks are heavier than current blocks and troublesome to move and set up, it was troublesome to use building requirements corresponding to applicable manpower and tools utilizing the prevailing normal building work requirements. The usual worth is a regular for calculating the suitable worth for building work carried out by public establishments.
Accordingly, final yr, town carried out a survey to calculate the usual unit worth for big sidewalk blocks with a block space of greater than 0.1 m2 and fewer than 0.25 m2 and a thickness of 8 cm or much less. We inspected 4 building websites the place giant sidewalk blocks are being constructed, together with Eunbit-ro, and reviewed the appropriateness of the requirements for calculating building prices.
Primarily based on the evaluation outcomes, town ready a revised plan containing specs for big sidewalk block set up tools, manpower, and building quantity and submitted it to the Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Constructing Know-how. Because of this, a brand new, partially adjusted normal for calculating building prices for big sidewalk block set up and reinstallation was mirrored within the ‘2024 Building Building Customary Estimate’ introduced by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. With this revision, it’s anticipated that the appliance of huge sidewalk blocks will develop as life like requirements for putting in giant sidewalk blocks are established.

So as to enhance the comfort of pedestrians, the rules stipulated that the peak of the curb must be lowered to 6cm and a delicate slope must be created all through the sidewalk.

Particularly, the width of sidewalks across the faculty can be a minimum of 5 m, and a protected loading and unloading space (drop zone) for younger college students can be put in 100 m away from the crowded faculty fundamental gate.
