According to a source, the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration ( BMA ) has forbid the use of heat-treated steel or “T-steel” in its high-rise construction projects without undergoing a thorough quality check.
The State Audit Office ( SAO ) building in Chatuchak district was destroyed on March 28; the source claims that this has led to the BMA’s Public Works Department suspending its use.
The ministry advised against using heat-treated metal or steel produced by training furnaces in high-rise projects under the BMA in an internal memo sent to the construction supervision division on April 9.
The sector is required to send detailed reports identifying the areas where the substance is used within the structures, according to the statement.
The office will take the matter further when the examination results are available, and the source claims that the department has taken the necessary steps in response to concerns about the use of architectural materials.
However, Metropolitan Police Division 2’s deputy chief, Pol Col Thitipong Piwatthikul, stated that the site’s collection of construction materials is routinely used for investigative testing.
He stated that various institutions are looking into building materials, including King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology and Thailand’s Iron and Steel Institute, and that preliminary findings are prepared and will be included in the ongoing research report. He added that he was confident that rescue operations would not be hampered by the process of gathering information.
