Pattaya halts construction of Savana Sands after 2nd crane collapse

PATTAYA:--Pattaya ordered a halt to construction of a Jomtien Beach condominium project after a crane collapse damaged two neighboring homes.

 

Mayor Anan Charoen­chasri issued the order barring further work on the twin-tower Savana Sands by contractor Worakit Co. Sept. 18, two days after the accident at the Soi Wat Boonkanchanaram building site.

 

The crane attached to the 24-story tower broke into pieces amid a thunderstorm, raining steel down on the roofs of two houses on Soi Ya Yuan. No one was injured, but both homes were heavily damaged.

 

Banglamung District Chief Naris Niramaiwong ordered homeowners Siriporn Deenan, 32, and Somchart Chartwanitkul, 52, to evacuate until the crane was stabilized and the area was safe to return to. Siriporn said her roof was damaged while Somchart said four sections of his house were demolished by the falling crane parts.

 

Worakit representatives accepted responsibility for the accident and said they would fully compensate the homeowners. However, Siriporn’s husband, Chu­chart, said this was the second accident of its type in the past two years and the “compensation” offered by Worakit last time was insufficient.

Where is the screening required to prevent dust and debris falling on surrounding areas?

Typical shambles, disregarded regulations and shoddy workmanship.

It's quite amazing that the crane left on top of the abandoned waterfront condominium development at Bali Hai is still standing after all these years

These poor people are going to be buried in the rubbish thrown out of that building if it fills with thais.

That's funny, I thought it was "three cranes and you're out!"

There's another monstrosity blighting the landscape of Bang Saray beach; who in their right mind would grant permission to build such an ugly building so out of keeping with the rest of the environment?

Someone who only cares about money. Most Thais qualify.

I remember them building what is now the the Jomtien Thani in Soi 5, that was abandoned half built for years with a tower crane just sanding there rusting away, I too was waiting for it too fall, even more surprised it worked when construction was restarted, and even more surprised it did not just buckle up and fall to the ground first time they swung the boom.

Someone with a new Merc, a free condo in the building and a few other perks.
