construction site accident on Rama III Road in Bangkok


The Council of Engineers wants it made mandatory for permission to be sought before erecting a crane at construction sites. The call comes in the wake of a construction site accident on Rama III Road in Bangkok in which five workers were killed last Wednesday.  


Cranes are a common sight at high-rise building sites in Bangkok and elsewhere. Over the years there have been many crane collapses that have caused extensive damage, injuries and loss of life.  The council investigates crane collapses, determines the causes and works out ways to prevent a recurrence.  


Last year, five cranes collapsed nationwide. Two have already occurred this year, one in Nakhon Ratchasima and the latest incident on Rama III Road. Investigators say 80-90% of the time collapses are caused by faulty installation or misuse of equipment, Mr Amorn said. Usually there are no engineers supervising their installation, he added. In many cases, collapses were also caused by overloading and use of substandard slings, he said.  


Besides newly regulations to be incorporated into the 1992 Buiding Control Act, attention should be paid to crane safety protection itself, such as the overload protection, load alarm notice to operators and the like. Weite Technologies Co, Ltd is 17-year veteran in lifting equipment safety protection with Load Moment Indicator LMI, Safe monitoring systems, Load sensors were widely applied in marine, electrical, chemical, steel, metallurgy, construction, ports and other industries for over 30 countries and regions.
