Behind the accident in Kunming's new airport: The collapse of the project layer changed hands

Author: Pengo January 5, when the north of the cold, Yunnan Kunming is still warm as spring, but for participation in the new airport Viaduct Bridge approach project (hereinafter referred to as the construction of the bridge approach project) to build a large number of migrant workers, here, "the wind biting."　　January 3, for these migrant workers is a tragic day, with them "tragedy" and the largest state-owned construction enterprises in Yunnan Province-Yunnan Engineering Group (hereinafter referred to as Yunnan Architectural engineering).　　On the same day 14:20 P.M. Xu, the Yunnan construction Group under the Yunnan Construction Engineering Municipal Corporation of the new Kunming Airport supporting approach to the project collapsed, resulting in 7 deaths, 8 serious injuries, 26 people minor injuries of major security incidents.　　"China Business daily" reporter in the in-depth on-site interview learned that although the specific reasons for the collapse of the accident is still under investigation, but the airport approach collapse behind the collapse of the construction industry has begun to loom layer subcontracting, subcontracting "gray" zone. The moment of collapse "was like an earthquake, and the bridge broke down with a bang." There are people up and down the bridge, I fell from the 8-metre-high bridge.　　January 5 night, in Kunming Economic Development Zone Hospital for treatment of workers Yang Chen beauty every thought of the day's accident seems to have done a nightmare. The reporter learned that most of the wounded from Hunan, Henan and the northeast and Yunnan Province, Zhaotong and other land migrant workers.　　A casualty recalls that it was not clear how the accident happened, only to hear the bridge creaking, he stood on the scaffold, the bridge suddenly fell down, people all of a sudden sank in. "Before the bridge collapsed, the concrete was being poured using a vibrating machine, and the bridge was shaking very hard," he said. The foreman also called people down to reinforce the steel frame. But after five or six minutes the rear axle collapsed.　　Another surviving worker told reporters. The collapsed Viaduct East approach is located just ahead of the new airport terminal in Kunming, 30 km from Kunming.　　January 5, when the "China business newspaper" reporter came to the scene of the accident, this area of 16 square kilometers of the new airport, all the construction work has been completely shut down, the most at the same time there are 30,000 people to enter the construction site became quiet and open, but the long break bridge and the scene of the wolf is shocking. According to Huang Zhibi, Minister of Quality and Safety Supervision Department of Yunnan Construction Engineering Group Co., Ltd., the accident occurred at the Terminal A3 section of the East Approach Bridge, which is about to finish concrete pouring. When the accident occurred at the end of lunch after the handover, the construction staff began to enter the work surface construction, 4 to the concrete box beam pouring close to the end, 8 meters high deck immediately collapsed, at that time is the bridge deck construction of more than 30 construction personnel.　　The bridge collapse length is about 38.5 meters wide and 13.2 m, and the support height is about 8 meters. According to the information obtained by the airport bidders, the project is a part of the project of Yunnan Provincial Municipal Construction Co., Ltd. and the five companies in Yunnan province, which won the bid for the new airport terminal building, parking building and viaduct projects in Kunming on March 6, 2009.　　The two companies belong to Yunnan Construction Engineering group.　Investigation of the Procuratorate's intervention　After the accident, Kunming, the relevant government departments immediately set up a "13 Incident joint Investigation Team", the specific reasons for the current accident is still in the investigation, the reporter learned that more than the project side of the relevant person is receiving inquiries from the investigation group. It is understood that the Kunming new airport total investment reached 23.4 billion yuan, including the main project investment of 18.8 billion yuan, with two runways and 84 ping seats.　　The construction of Kunming New airport has become the largest project of Earth-rock engineering in China, even more than the Three Gorges project.　　Wang Jinsheng, deputy director of the new airport Construction command, said that the Kunming new airport was the only approved new major hub airport during the "Eleven-Five" period, and was one of 20 key construction projects in Yunnan Province during the "Eleven-Five" period.　　According to the joint Investigation Team related sources, at present, the joint investigation team identified four key investigation and analysis of the direction: the direct cause of the accident, indirect reasons, may have caused the accident geological factors, as well as in the project bidding and construction process may exist problems. Reporter learned that the joint investigation team to participate in the Kunming Procuratorate Personnel Department of the Municipal Institute of Anti-malfeasance Tort bureau officers. and Yunnan Province in charge of the Deputy Attorney-General is clear request "Kunming Procuratorate to intervene in the accident investigation, to ascertain the cause of the accident." "Some people said that, apart from the physical reasons for the accident, the procuratorial system involved is to investigate the project in the bidding process and subsequent subcontracting of the construction process, the existence of malfeasance and other duties." "The entire bid and subsequent text will be reviewed and analyzed."　　The new Airport Building Command and the Yunnan Construction Engineering group have all denied claims that the accident was caused by the rush of events.　　Behind the bridge: Engineering Layer Subcontract Although so far, the concrete reasons for the collapse of the approach of the new airport in Kunming are not conclusive, but the deep problems in the construction area reflected by this accident are partially exposed.　　40-Year-old Li Renhio lying in the Kunming economic Development Zone Hospital on the second floor of the ward, the accident he was seriously injured in the site, Li Renhio is a small contractor, is the incident bridge section "hit the deck" team toolpusher people. Under the Li Renhio, there were 24 men, 6 of whom were killed and all the rest were injured. Li Renhio said the project was a bigger contractor to find him to do. "I have been following this boss for more than 7 years and have done a lot of work in various parts of Yunnan." When there is a project, I will be found, he has more than 300 different types of workers. Li Renhio said weakly.　　Daily Li Renhio under the migrant workers work 9 hours, the average daily wage of about 55 yuan. The people of Yunnan Provincial Construction engineering group did not deny the subcontract. The Group party committee deputy secretary, Discipline Inspection Secretary Zhangjianguo said, "The accident of the approach to the project is indeed subcontracted, including professional engineering subcontracting and labor subcontracting."　　But he says subcontracting is legal and illegal labor subcontracting does not exist. According to Zhangjianguo, Yunnan construction reform, no longer recruit specialized front-line workers. "The existing employees in the group are management, engineering technology toand market personnel. The first line of construction is outsourced. This is true of large and medium-sized construction units nationwide. Otherwise the burden on the enterprise is too big.　　Zhang said. However, for the outside of the suspected layer of subcontracting or in the group of companies and Labor subcontracting companies signed legal subcontracting, the subcontractor has repeatedly subcontracted the situation, Zhangjianguo said that is still under investigation. "Does not rule out the possibility. The chain of construction is too long, and it is harder to supervise.　　Zhang said.　　Zhangjianguo said that illegal affiliation, layers of subcontracting, subcontracting has been the domestic construction field of the gray area, such a phenomenon in the field of construction market is very serious. Kunming, the head of a project supervision agency also told reporters that, according to his view, the construction of subcontracting and illegal subcontracting is a very common phenomenon. "Subcontracting must be illegal. But in the legal subcontract, there are many restrictions, subcontracting enterprises must have to bear the qualification of subcontracting works, can not exceed the qualification of subcontracting works. "In addition, illegal affiliation, layers of subcontracting and subcontracting of dismembered subcontracting are illegal."　　The director of the supervision agency said. In the director's view, a project through the layers of subcontracting or layers of subcontracting, engineering profits layer of exploitation, to the final takeover is a variety of size contractor. In order to maintain profits, it is very easy to "cut corners, shoddy" and other circumstances, seriously affecting the construction quality of the project, there are hidden dangers of engineering quality or safety, but also very easy to lead to corruption of the job. This is a cancer in the construction industry.　　The market turmoil it caused has never stopped. At the new airport construction site, a number of workers said that the layers of subcontracting or subcontracting of a large number of cases.　　One worker said he had been working with a contractor to work on different projects at the airport for several companies. "Even the specialized service subcontracting company is not very formal, this is the market situation." "This is a big market environment problem and there is no better solution now," Zhangjianguo said. An enterprise can only strengthen the internal management to try to solve, but the market chain is very long, a company's management can have how much effect is not fully determined.　　"Data link approach refers to the bridge between the ends of the main bridge, replacing the high embankment."　　1. Bridge connecting the bridge and the embankment.　　2. From the bridge abutment connecting to the main bridge bridge parts, such as cross-strait land bridges, called approach.
