Dagabond Bored Member Administrator 35,722 Member For: 22y 3m 9d Gender: Male Location: Dé·jà vu Posted 30/06/09 12:40 AM Author Share Posted 30/06/09 12:40 AM HONG KONG - A 13-STOREY residential building under construction in Shanghai collapsed on Saturday, killing one worker and highlighting the dangers of shoddy building in fast-urbanising China.The building, in the outskirts of the city, collapsed at around 6am Singapore time, with one construction worker killed, the official Xinhua news agency reported.The block of high-rise residential flats was shown toppled onto its side in a muddy construction site, in footage from Hong Kong's Cable Television. Exposed pilings stood in the remains of the building's foundations.It appeared to be almost complete with fitted windows and a finished, tiled facade. Other similar-looking blocks in the same property development were still standing nearby.Shoddy construction and the use of sub-standard materials is a concern in China's construction sector as the country scrambles to build out cities and finish massive infrastructure projects to keep pace with fast economic growth.Construction-related accidents last year included the collapse of a steel arch on a new railway bridge, which killed at least seven and a crane which fell on a kindergarten killing five.The collapse of dozens of schools during last year's Sichuan earthquake, sometimes when buildings around them withstood the tremor, also led to a wave of public outrage about corrupt officials and construction firms. -- REUTERSWonder how the sales of the surrounding properties are going now...
