23, the roof of a middle school gymnasium in Qiqihar City, Heilongjiang Province collapsed, and the teachers and students of the volleyball team who were training in the gymnasium were crushed. As of 10 A. M. on July 24, 11 people were killed in the accident. According to the official announcement, after preliminary investigation, the cause of the accident was that the construction unit illegally piled perlite on the roof of the gymnasium. Affected by the rainfall, the perlite soaked in water and increased its weight, which led to the increase of the roof load and the collapse. What is the perlite that collapsed the stadium? How should the families of the victims be held accountable? In this regard, the Yangtze Evening News/Ziniu News reporter conducted an in-depth interview.
Rescue workers cleaned up a large number of bagged perlite materials
at the scene. Reporters saw in the live broadcast of the accident rescue that fire rescue workers cleaned up a large number of bagged perlite building materials at the collapse site. Mr. Chen, an architectural design practitioner in Nanjing, told Ziniu News that perlite is a commonly used building insulation material in the industry at present, which is often used in external wall insulation. "This material is not only used in cold areas in the north, but also in newly built houses in the south.". However, it has strong water absorption and is easy to seep and gain weight, so it is necessary to make a layer of waterproof paint on the outer layer when it is used for external wall insulation. Mr.
Chen introduced that the roof of the gymnasium in the accident itself was a very weak part. The construction unit dared to put a large amount of perlite directly on the roof of the gymnasium in rainy days, which not only showed that the construction personnel had no safety knowledge and awareness, but also reflected that the construction party completely violated the construction safety standards. "Simply speaking, the construction party is dying." Collapse site
of the
accident "The stadium is a large space, with few pillars supporting the roof, so the roof's load-bearing capacity is very low.". The roof of the stadium is like a big tent, and no building materials are allowed to be stacked. Mr. Chen told Ziniu News that according to the current official announcement, it can be determined that the construction party has the main responsibility for the incident, and whether the stadium built more than 20 years ago has quality problems still needs to be investigated in depth by the authorities.
Some netizens mentioned the issue of lifelong accountability for architectural design and construction. Mr. Chen told reporters that the system of lifelong accountability for architectural design has always existed, but some enterprises will evade responsibility through a series of operations and increase the difficulty of accountability for the injured party. Mr. Chen introduced: "a more common way is that when a construction enterprise builds a new project, it will set up a new company to assume the responsibility of construction.". After the delivery of the project, the construction enterprise will cancel the newly established enterprise after a period of time, and when problems arise, the victim's accountability will become more difficult or even difficult to pursue. Shi Zehua, a lawyer from Jiadaga Law Firm
in Jiangsu, told reporters that in the accident, the behavior of the construction unit had been suspected of criminal offences. In the follow-up trial procedure, the family members of the victims could directly initiate criminal incidental civil proceedings to pursue their responsibilities. "If the school has the problem of supervision oversight in the accident, I think it should also bear some responsibility."
Perlite material
Ziniu News reporter learned that the person responsible for the construction unit that caused the accident has been controlled by the public security organs, and the authorities are still investigating the cause of the accident. After the accident, Heilongjiang held a video conference on safety production in the whole province to inform the collapse of the gymnasium of No.34 Middle School in Longsha District of Qiqihar City and other recent safety accidents. The meeting emphasized that the dangerous buildings that had been cleaned up in the early stage of the province should be strengthened in accordance with the plan, and the safety of all kinds of schools and public welfare stadiums should be investigated quickly.
