Causes of the collapse of Guangdong Xinyi Real Estate on August 28th.

2011At 7: 00 pm on August 28th, the reporter contacted Zuo Xin, chief of staff of Maoming detachment of the Armed Police who was directing the rescue on the spot.

Zuo Xin introduced that the incident was a small building site, which had just started and was laying the foundation. According to the construction requirements, in general, when digging holes in the early stage of foundation laying, soil retaining piles should be added to prevent the surrounding collapse.

The foundation pit at the scene of the incident was 8 meters deep. Because the construction party cut corners, only retaining piles were added on three sides facing the residential building, and no retaining piles were set on the other 20-meter-long section. In addition, after the foundation pit is dug into a cliff, there is a simple sales department on the ground, which leads to great bearing pressure.

In addition, it rained the night before and the soil was soft.

Under the influence of several factors, the earthwork on the construction site collapsed one after another. Although the simple bungalow on the ground did not fall down, the cement floor, including the stones below, and other simple foundations fell into the foundation pit one after another, resulting in nine workers being buried on the spot.
