The Taichung City Government’s Water Resources Bureau's sewer system project has earned the recognition of “Golden Assurance”! The Taichung City Sewer Branch Network and User Pipeline Connection Project (10-10) - North of Dadu Road and Gongyi Road and Surrounding Areas received an honorable mention in the Outstanding Contractor - Major Engineering Category of the 2024 Golden Assurance Engineering Program by the Taichung City Government. This recognition underscores the Water Resources Bureau's strong commitment to ensuring occupational safety and health.
The Water Resources Bureau highlighted that since Mayor Lu Hsiu-yen assumed office, there has been strong promotion of the Sewer System Expansion Project, resulting in 106,000 user pipeline connections over the past five years (2019-2023), with an average of 20,000 new connections each year. The Bureau utilized risk assessments for construction during the design phase, held public tenders to select excellent contractors, and strictly adhered to occupational safety regulations to create safer working conditions for all laborers.
The Bureau noted that sewer systems, though unseen, are vital infrastructures that significantly impact the public’s quality of life. Working underground in confined spaces requires extra attention to ventilation and protective gear to ensure the safety of workers.
The Water Resources Bureau added that the city government executes all projects with a labor-centered approach, with a strong commitment to safeguarding workers' safety and property. The Bureau is dedicated to ensuring occupational safety and health, aiming to establish a construction environment that is safe, healthy, and free of occupational hazards.
