Koh Brothers Group said the area affected by the collapse of temporary scaffolding used for the construction of a roof slab is localised and the Downtown Line Bugis Station is substantially completed and structurally sound.
The DTL Bugis Station is the site of Soletanche Bachy – Koh Brothers Joint Venture, a 55:45% joint venture between Soletanche-Bachy Singapore Branch and Koh Brothers’ wholly-owned subsidiary, Koh Brothers Building & Civil Engineering Contractor (Pte.) Ltd.
Investigations are currently being carried out by the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) and theBuilding & Construction Authority (BCA) on the cause of the incident which led to the death of two workers and injured eight others.
In the meantime, the MOM has ordered a cessation of all works relating to two areas at the worksite, namely, formwork and concreting.
Koh Brothers said work will resume upon the satisfaction of two conditions – a Recovery Plan that is endorsed by a Professional Engineer for the safe removal of the collapsed framework structure and materials as well as the submission of revised Risk Assessments and Safe Work Procedures.
