197 households urgently evacuated due to careless construction by a Taiwanese construction company, resulting in the collapse of residential buildings
According to Taiwan's "CTV News Network", the construction of the "Kitai Dazhi" project located on Dazhi Street in Zhongshan District, Taipei City, Taiwan, did not have a large foundation during construction, resulting in the collapse of the construction site, tilting of adjacent buildings, and even the neighboring building unable to withstand pressure and sinking into the basement of the first floor. 197 households were urgently evacuated.
The construction of the "Jitai Dazhi" project was careless, and nearby apartments collapsed. From the captured footage, it can be seen that the continuous wall steel beams constructed at the "Jitai Dazhi" construction site are all twisted and deformed. The adjacent residential buildings cannot withstand the pressure and sink directly, and the iron windows of the apartments are also deformed and broken. The road adjacent to the construction site was hollowed out and collapsed, causing the road surface to collapse and deform. Kitai Construction pointed out that the "Kitai Dazhi" construction project in Zhongshan District, Taipei City was damaged in neighboring buildings on the evening of September 7th due to careless construction by the construction plant.
According to preliminary identification, the continuous wall broke due to excavation of three floors down from the construction site without immediately making a large bottom. The collapse first occurred at the Kitai construction site and then spread to six buildings in odd numbered numbers 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 on the side. Currently, the Taipei City Government has urgently grouted to prevent the collapse from expanding.
Jitai Construction has issued a major message stating that the relevant responsibilities will not be shirked, and they will provide maximum comfort, care, and assistance to the damaged households for resettlement. Jitai also emphasized that the construction project has been completely suspended, and the amount of related losses is still under evaluation. At the same time, relevant insurance has been purchased, and the claims will be processed.
