Underground construction of Capital Square 3 Project causes subsidence into a "death pit" in Da Nang

According to the Danang Department of Construction, the initial cause of the major subsidence on Nguyen Cong Tru Street originated from the underground construction area of ​​the Capital Square 3 Project, when heavy rain brought sand flowing into the foundation pit, causing the foundation to collapse, the sewer to break, and creating a deep hole.

On the evening of December 3, Mr. Nguyen Ha Nam - Director of the Department of Construction of Da Nang City informed about the initial cause of the "death hole" that appeared on Nguyen Cong Tru Street (in An Hai Ward).

According to Mr. Nam, the subsidence location is close to the Capital Square 3 Project, invested by SIH Real Estate Company Limited, which is currently constructing the underground part.

The scene of subsidence on Nguyen Cong Tru street, near the construction site of Capital Square 3 project, corrugated iron fences were pulled down, the roadbed was deeply gouged in heavy rain.

According to initial assessment, the retaining wall system of Capital Square 3 Project adjacent to Nguyen Cong Tru Street is leaking. When heavy rains continue, water flows into the construction area, carrying sand and hollowing out the foundation, causing the stormwater drain to break. When the drain breaks, the water continues to erode the soil below, leading to serious subsidence of the roadbed and technical infrastructure.

According to the Danang Department of Construction, the cause of the "death hole" came from the underground construction area of ​​the Capital Square 3 Project, when heavy rain brought sand flowing into the foundation pit, causing the foundation to collapse, the sewer to break, and creating a deep hole.

At the same time, it will organize a specific assessment of the cause, develop measures, and organize to fix the construction affecting neighboring works according to regulations.
