Workers take a construction elevator to resume their work after their lunch break on Tuesday (6/3) at the site of the Bekasi-Cawang-Kampung Melayu (Becakayu) toll road project. Construction has resumed on the project after it was temporarily halted following the collapse of a pier head on Tuesday (20/2).
JAKARTA, KOMPAS – Reducing the volume of materials or not adhering to technical specifications in infrastructure projects may lead not only to workplace accidents, but also to allegations of corruption. The Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) may launch an investigative audit into construction accidents that have occurred in infrastructure project and into the state-owned enterprises that oversee the projects.
The collapse of a pier head on Feb. 20 in the Bekasi-Cawang-Kampung Melayu (Becakayu) toll road project on Jl. DI Panjaitan in East Jakarta was reportedly caused by the reduced number of steel tension rods the were used in the formwork.
