Engineers are studying how to safely remove a damaged luffing jib tower crane<\/a> that has been causing residents in Ridout Road, off Holland Road, some unease for nearly two weeks.<\/p>\n

The crane’s boom has been bent to a point where it is resting on the site where a two-story bungalow is being built.<\/p>\n

But the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) said yesterday that any recovery plan is made more complex because it involves a luffing jib tower crane.<\/p>\n

This is due to the structural configuration of the crane in which the main support structure comprises a single mast.<\/p>\n

“Hence, careful considerations need to be made to ensure the overall stability of the crane during the recovery work.”<\/p>\n

MOM said it was alerted to the incident involving the tower crane on Aug 24, a day after it was damaged, and sent investigators to inspect the site the same day.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0It also ordered the occupier to stop all lifting works on the site immediately and the affected area was barricaded to prevent unauthorised access.<\/div>\n

The MOM spokesman said the condition of the crane does not pose a danger to residents or workers. Measures have also been taken to provide additional support to the damaged portion.<\/p>\n

“The occupier has taken additional measures to stabilise the crane which includes providing additional support to the damaged portion,” added the spokesman.<\/p>\n

Nobody was hurt in the incident and investigations are ongoing to establish the cause of the crane boom failure, said the ministry.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

An independent professional engineer had inspected the crane and assessed that it was stable, and recovery work is scheduled to start today, said MOM.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
