Subway Tunnel Collapses in Shanghai
(enr.construction.com - 7/14/03 issue)
The collapse of a subway station's pedestrian
tunnel being built near the Huangpu River caused the July
1 collapse of a floodwall at the project site, leading to
a massive influx of water in the tunnel and surrounding soil.
The breach caused a six-story audio-video
wholesale market to settle unevenly, separate and eventually
collapse. Five other buildings tilted and now are being demolished,
according to local press reports. The 25-story Linjiang Huayuan
building, housing the Shanghai Labor and Social Security Buearu,
was threatened but declared safe on July 7.
