Nine hurt in site collapse

KUCHING: Nine foreign workers were injured after part of the building structure of a multi-million ringgit international hotel-cum-shopping mall project at Jalan Bukit Mata here collapsed.

The workers, one of whom suffered a broken arm, were thrown to the ground when the structure they were standing on gave way at 4pm on Saturday.

Ambulances rushed the injured workers to the Sarawak General Hospital where most of them were given outpatient treatment for cuts and bruises on their bodies.

An eyewitness said that the structure collapsed as the workers were pouring mixed concrete on part of the first floor of the building.

The cause of the incident is being investigated.

Some 25 workers, most of them foreigners and aged between 25 and 35, were working on the project when the incident occurred.

Komen daripada para sahabat:

Hmmmmm structure runtuh sewaktu kerja-kerja menuang simen concrete..... Nak komen lebih2 pun tak berani, since takde kat site....tapi just to share with semua tentang how we check scaffold structure bagi kerja - kerja Beam Formwork..... Since kalau kat semenanjung nie pun biasanya kami terpaksa mai 2 hingga 3 kali baru boleh luluskan, apatah lagi kat sana...yang 'dekat' dengan JKKP, tapi jauh dimata....(faham2 Le).... For any beam formwork or concrete floor, sebelum kami check, MESTI mempunyai Professional Engineer Drawing & Approval.....base dari sana, kami akan check satu persatu Dan perlu diingatkan...kami memeriksa BUKAN SAHAJA pada foundation tingkat tersebut, tetapi 3 TINGKAT DIBAWAHNYA JUGA! Diantara failure yang biasa dijumpai adalah:

(1) Susunan Frame boleh diterima (Walaupun tahap sederhana), namun cross brace sure banyak yang 'hilang' atau dalam istilah scaffolding dipanggil 'curi ayam'...Cuba check betul2, especially kat tengah2 structure TU......

(2) Tiada ledgers Dan transom tambahan, kalau adapun buat syarat aja, Dan paling utama ikatan diantara struture frame hujung.... (where punca asas tumbang dari bahagian tepi)

(3) Adjustable Base Plate & U Head Adjustable....Cuba check betul2.....80% depa nie akan pakai semaksimum yang boleh....akibatnya, sedikit twist sahaja boleh menyebabkan RUNTUH!

Kalau Ada sebab lain tu, perhaps pihak2 yang berkenaan boleh membantu dalam input yang berguna....say...bahagian forensic ker kan?

Dan kepada Juruperunding yang dilantik oleh client ker, atau 3rd party tu....please make sure yang tuan2 jalankan tanggungjawab sepertimana yang tertera dalam kontrak, jangan buat syarat jer.....Dan kalau tak faham atau tak tahu, silakanla bertanya...jangan harapkan kepada SHO sorang jer nak jaga beratus orang Dan beribu site job dalam satu masa..... (Cetusan rasa geram...)

Wallahualam

Bro,

Thanks for the explaination on the scaffolding... tapi aku rasalah, bkn masalah scaffold kot... selalunya, praktis kt Msia ni, most of the support for the concrete slab/floor ni dibuat dari kayu... yg aku concern ialah curing time for the concrete... takut diaorg removed all the concrete support sebelum the concrete fully cured... curing time, ni kena tanya engineer civil lah... slalunya >20 days kan.... depends on the concrete grade lagi tak...

ada sapa2 civil engineer kt sini :))

-aliasman

Setuju sangat pasal mende curing time....tapi rase aku itu duty clerk of wok dengan resident engineer untuk control such matter.... Tapi bila hang sebut pasal concrete slab / floor yang disupport oleh kayu...he, he, he...no offend, tapi rase aku kat semenanjung dah lama Kita tak jumpa macam tu...unless projek ciput.... TU pun load tak heavy sangat....inikan plak projek apa....multimillion.....

Wallahualam..... so.....any comment from professional engineer (civil)?

Thanks
