Is the Hotel Collapse in Quanzhou, Fujian Really an Illegal Reconstruction?
Fujian Quanzhou Hotel Collapse Accident The hotel had obvious illegal renovations. According to the preliminary investigation, the Quanzhou Hotel project failed to implement basic construction procedures, lacked planning and construction permits, and had serious problems such as illegal construction and illegal transformation. According to the accident investigation team, the house owners found signs of major accidents such as foundation settlement and load-bearing column deformation, but they still took chances, tried to deceive the relevant departments and continued to operate illegally and riskyly, and the relevant local functional departments did not have adequate supervision. , will lead to layer upon layer failure of safety checkpoints, and ultimately lead to such a tragic accident. According to relevant reports, the floor where the Quanzhou Hotel is located was originally an entire lobby, and multiple walls were later added to separate the guest rooms. This behavior itself is a violation because this building was previously used as an office building. It needs to be partitioned into a hotel. What is even more exaggerated is that this building has no name, it is a real "unnamed building", and there is no project name, which is another aspect of violation. Moreover, the construction permit cannot be found yet. Although the relevant personnel have been taken away by the police, there are still some construction problems, such as: which construction unit is responsible for the steel structure, and whether the steel structure frame columns extend to Problems such as the underground floor. If it was just because we wanted to open a hotel, we renovated the second to sixth floors of the building, brought in a lot of cement and stones, and transformed the lobby into single rooms. The large amount of building materials has exceeded the entire building structure. The normal range that can be tolerated. Each of these actions has confirmed that the Quanzhou Hotel accident involved illegal reconstruction. If the regulatory authorities had conducted extensive inspections of the hotel at that time, this situation would not have occurred later. Therefore, the construction of the project must be maintained in accordance with the law. Ensure quality and quantity, refuse to cut corners, just to make profits; operators should also act in accordance with rules and regulations, act in accordance with national laws, operate decorations legally, and not take chances, and never let any safety hazards pass.
