🧱 Accidents: ‘Disruption during pre-weak work’
The accident About 25 m of the 63 m high boiler tower It occurred during the pre-weak work. Generally Demolition from the top floormust proceed, but The lower main support member is cut firstThere is a possibility that it may have been.
in this process Reduce construction cost or shorten the periodBecause of that Inconsistent application of non-conforming dismantling methodIt is also under investigation.
In general demolition procedures, the underlayer structure should not be touched before the removal of the upper interior material is completed. However, it is highly likely that this basic principle was not followed in this field.

This incident is not just a field accident, Structural problems in the Korean industrial fieldIt is noteworthy in that it revealed. In the reality that ‘fast construction’ and ‘cost reduction’ are prioritized The importance of safety management and complianceThis is again being highlighted.
1. What is the direct cause of the collapse of the Ulsan-powered boiler tower?
So far Collapse due to structural instability during pre-weak workis the most likely The fact that the lower layer structure was cut before the demolition of the upper layer was completed is cited as the cause.
2. Is the detonation type dismantling method generally safe?
The blasting method itself is legal, but Thorough structural analysis, secure safe distance, step-by-step weaknessThis must be preceded. Neglecting any of these procedures increases the risk of accidents rapidly.
3. What kind of responsibilities is HJ Heavy Industries in Woncheong?
