On the afternoon of October 6th, a workplace safety incident occurred in the T1 section, at kilometer marker 0+350, on Bui Huu Nghia street, Gia Dinh ward, within package XL-01 of the Xuyen Tam Canal dredging, environmental improvement, and infrastructure construction project, managed by the Ho Chi Minh City Urban Infrastructure Investment and Construction Project Management Board.
The scene where a construction machine reinforcing the CDM foundation unexpectedly collapsed.
According to the investor's report, at approximately 4:15 PM on the same day, a construction machine for reinforcing cement-soil foundations (CDM) unexpectedly fell over towards Bui Huu Nghia street while being brought into the construction site and being erected. The front part of the equipment fell into the alleyway.
The initial cause was determined to be a broken axle on the turntable, leading to the device falling over.
Initially, no casualties or property damage were reported in the surrounding area. However, the overturned construction machinery caused a temporary disruption to traffic on the road.
The front part of the device fell into an alleyway near the Xuyen Tam canal construction site.
Immediately after the incident, the construction unit and the supervisory consultant mobilized manpower and coordinated with local authorities to set up barricades, reroute traffic, and rectify the problem.
The units are implementing a plan to return the equipment to the project area, minimizing the impact on local traffic, and are expected to complete the task before 6 PM on the same day.
According to the project's investor, this is one of eight CDM drilling rigs recently added by the consortium of contractors to enhance equipment and accelerate project progress.
Authorities and construction units were present to fix the problem.
The equipment that malfunctioned was in the installation phase and had not yet been inspected at the construction site by the relevant parties.
The investor stated that they will conduct a review and learn from the incident, while also scrutinizing the process of bringing equipment onto the construction site to minimize the risk of similar incidents occurring during the project's construction.
