Weibo, the official of Jiangxi Normal University of Science and Technology, said that at about 0: 25 this morning, during the pouring of the top floor of the gymnasium project of Hongjiaozhou Campus of Jiangxi China Coal Construction Group Co., Ltd., the high formwork collapsed, with an area of about 600 square meters, resulting in 1 person's death and 18 person's injury, including 3 serious injuries.
Li Lei, deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the Party Committee of Jiangxi Normal University of Science and Technology, said that since the school has already had the winter vacation, most students have left school, and the school has arranged for students who have not returned home to the school's LAM Raymond campus. There were no students or faculty members in the accident.
As for why the collapse accident occurred in the early morning, some netizens said in Baidu Post Bar of Jiangxi Normal University of Science and Technology that it was caused by overnight construction in order to catch up with the construction period. Li Lei denied this. He said that because the cast-in-place pouring with the top cap must be completed at one time, it is not allowed to stop halfway, otherwise there may be cracks at the top of the gymnasium in the future, causing problems such as rain leakage. So, a few days ago, the contractor capped the six-story gymnasium under construction, and the workers took turns to work, but the capped cast-in-place did not stop for 24 hours, and it collapsed when it was poured to 1/5. Li Lei said that the authorities are currently investigating this.
It is understood that Jiangxi Normal University of Science and Technology is the first batch of higher vocational and technical normal colleges established in China, and it is also a key institution of higher learning built by the Ministry of Education to train vocational education teachers.
