Six killed in Ajman hotel collapse
by Amy Glass on Monday, 02 June 2008
Six construction workers are believed to have been killed in Ajman after the ceiling of a hotel under construction caved in on them.
The accident is believed to have occurred at about 3am on Monday at the construction site for the 20-storey Laguna"
this is what I have been saying all along
the developer collects money from the investors , where first he launches his building as a whole floors for cash , at almost half of the launch price . so what he actually committed himself to is the minimal cost and not the inflated cost that the property have reached in price . From what I have seen that some of the new properties changes hands at least 5 times before launch date by at least 3 months . hence for this developer to meet the cost of the building , starts cheating in building material , i bit some contractors there have never even heard of ISO .
SO I feel very sori for lost souls because of the greed of the developer and the cheating of the contractor .
" is thought to have collapsed onto the basement when an excess amount of concrete was poured on the ground floor, according to state news agency Wam."
Was it excess amount of concrete or weak base and ? or so many other reasons makes the ceiling collapse during the pouring and of concrete to build the ceiling ?.
This contractor and his developer should be prosecuted and brought to justice for cheating , in building material , and not following the correct building procedure ?
there is , no outside inspectors from the government representatives in place to check what these people are doing. There is no insurance on these poor souls , the builders. no safety regulations , no health insurance , in case of accidents . these workers are being exploited in a bad way , just so the developer can make money .
don't be surprised if the same and much more is happening in Dubai , and just because it is not announced , it does not mean that it is not happening .
