Engineers and construction experts are probing the cause of a structural collapse at The Magnolia development, a 10-storey luxury apartment building project, in Sea Point on Tuesday 17 February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Four people were working in and around the temporary structure when it gave way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two sustained minor injuries and were treated on site before being taken to hospital as a precaution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Restricted access to the site meant the two other people had to be carefully lifted by a construction crane as emergency teams could not safely carry a stretcher through the work zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three men have since been discharged, while one remains in hospital in a stable condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The building project is scheduled to be completed April next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Western Cape Department of Health and Wellness Emergency Medical Services (EMS) spokesperson Shimoney Regter confirmed the incident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur teams provided care to four patients, with two transported to Cape Town hospitals for further care,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Rawson developers, the incident involved a partial collapse of temporary structures, including scaffolding and formwork. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These were being installed ahead of construction on the third floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe incident was confined solely to the temporary works on site. There has been no damage to the permanent structure of the building, and there has been no compromise to the structural integrity or safety of the development in any way,\u201d read a press statement from Rawson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the statement, \u201cindependent professionals have confirmed that the primary structure remains secure\u201d and unaffected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The developers said the safety of all personnel on site, as well as the long-term integrity of the development, remains the highest priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFurther updates will be provided as additional information becomes available,\u201d concluded the statement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
