[Reporter Wei Jinyun/Taoyuan Report] The indoor baseball driving range of the Liping Township Baseball Stadium in Taoyuan City, which has been in use for less than 3 years, leaks water from the roof. Whenever there is heavy rain, the indoor baseball batting ground looks like a "waterfall", causing serious inconvenience for students to practice, which is quite exaggerated.

The Sports Bureau of the Taoyuan City Government stated that they will add drainage pipes to the roof gutters to increase drainage methods, and it is expected to enter the site in late December.

“It’s raining heavily outside, and it’s also raining indoors.” Jiang Kui-kuan, chief executive of the baseball committee of the Taoyuan City Sports Association, said that the Pingzhen baseball field, which is located outdoors, cannot practice when it rains. The city government built an indoor baseball practice field in response. However, shortly after it was put into use, it was discovered that there was a water leak on the roof of the practice field, even under the stands. If students practiced wearing cloth shoes, they would definitely slip and fall when encountering water in the indoor turf.

Jiang Kuikuan believes that the driving range was poorly designed at the beginning, and after the construction was completed, the construction company closed down.

There is a complete training field, and the newly built indoor baseball practice field has a complete infield and artificial turf, which can be used for defensive training and actual combat practice.

The Sports Bureau pointed out that in April this year, more than 2.17 million yuan had been invested in the "Taoyuan City Pingzhen Indoor Baseball Stadium and Building Leakage Treatment Project". Monthly completion.

The Sports Bureau stated that after a survey at the beginning of this month, the initial judgment was that the rain was too heavy, and the gutter was suspected to be insufficiently drained, which caused the water to leak after it was full. At present, the manufacturer has been entrusted to add drainage pipes to the gutter to increase drainage. Improvements are expected to be made in late December.

The Sports Bureau stated that it has filed a lawsuit against the original construction company for the parts that failed to fulfill its warranty responsibilities due to its closure. As for the leaks that still occurred after the roof was fully filled in June, it is also in the process of confirming the warranty and clarifying the responsibilities with the manufacturer.

The Sports Bureau bluntly stated that the water leakage problem cannot be improved in one step, and will continue to observe after the completion of the addition of drainage pipes.
