Well looks like Jaya is making headlines again. It appears the six firms involved in the project have submitted the incident report and are starting investigations on site. Well, about time. I cannot understand why it took so long to get on site and start investigations!
I wont go into detail about what has been reported but this is the summary:
May 28 - the structure collapsed during demolition work.
(June)
Search and rescue identified 7 workers killed and several injured.
Six firms involved in the project blacklisted. Stop-work order imposed
MBPJ forms investigative panel
Priliminary investigations reveal that approvals were not obtained to progress with demolition and that many of the clauses in the demolition methods statement were not complied with.
Detailed Incident Report submitted.
Method Statements submitted. (after two rejections!)
Three firms start getting their names in papers - the project manager, architect, and engineer.
(July)
Stop-work order lifted.
Developer to begin investigations.
I'm interested in all aspects of demolition and bringing down old buildings, and this is my blog relating to the collapse of the old jaya supermarket. I find this case very interesting and am keeping track of developments as they happen.
