In the midst of this, the poor construction situation was again revealed. It is suspected that the temporary pillar, commonly called 'dongbari', was demolished before the concrete hardened sufficiently.

<Reporter> A



construction site in Hwajeong-dong, Gwangju, where the outer wall of the building from the 38th to the 23rd floor collapsed.



If you look at the accident scene filmed with a drone, the 38th and 37th floors of the apartment are empty.



Temporary pillars installed inside the building until the concrete hardens enough, so-called 'dongbari', is missing.



Dongbari can be demolished only when there is a test report that it has hardened enough after concrete is poured, but whether it has passed a proper test is an issue that needs to be investigated.



A domestic construction company also estimated that "the slab on the 38th floor collapsed because it could not withstand the load of the slab on the 38th floor by dismantling supports such as Dongbari due to lack of technical judgment on the site."



Other experts have expressed similar opinions.

In response, Hyundai Development Company stated that it is difficult to confirm the exact contents.



As the situation of poorly implemented construction continues, the government accident investigation committee plans to investigate the construction process, including whether temporary pillars have been removed, and reveal the circumstances of the accident.



Police investigations are also accelerating.



It is known that the site office, supervision office, and subcontractors where the collapse occurred yesterday (14th) were seized and searched, followed by work logs and supervision materials.



The police plan to perform an autopsy on the body of the missing person recovered yesterday to determine the exact cause of death, and additionally apply the charge of negligent manslaughter to the head of the Hyundai Industrial Development site.
