Construction Safety: Request for Opinion/Tower Crane failure in Malaysia

leroyluar

Hi,

Not certain if this forum is the correct one to be asking for opinions on this so do advice on correct thread if this isn't it.

This follows inquiries on a tower crane crash in Malaysia in October last year and we were wondering if anyone here could provide some insight on whether the crane was compliant (based on news photos released)?

Was just wondering if we could gather some insight from the architectural community on this. Do respond here or send response directly to me at leroy_luar@hotmail.com. Thanks much for your help

Wild unfounded speculation, but it looks like a foundation failure.  Was there a geotechnical engineering report that provided recommendations for the crane foundation system to resist crane reactions (including uplift)?

You should post a link to the news article with more pictures.
