Thai authorities have revealed that they plan to interrogate 51 engineers related to the construction of the State Audit Office building in Bangkok, which collapsed due to the 7.7 magnitude earthquake that shook Myanmar on March 28. This announcement was made by the public broadcaster Thai PBS.
According to the information provided, the accident caused by the earthquake resulted in no casualties, as the building was still under construction and had not been occupied. However, a thorough investigation is being conducted to determine the responsibilities surrounding this collapse.
Authorities have indicated that they expect the engineers to provide key information that will clarify the causes of the building's collapse. These professionals are planned to be interrogated to advance the investigation and determine if there was negligence in the construction processes that could have contributed to the collapse following the earthquake.
Amid the rescue and cleanup efforts at the site, special attention has been paid to gathering evidence and information to help understand the exact reasons that led to the building's collapse after the earthquake in Myanmar. Authorities remain firmly committed to clarifying all circumstances related to this incident to prevent similar situations from recurring in the future.
According to Thai authorities, it is crucial to determine whether there were failures in construction protocols, structural design, or the quality of materials used in the building that triggered the collapse. The interrogations of the engineers linked to the project will play a fundamental role in the ongoing investigation process.
In this context, the authorities' focus is on ensuring safety and transparency regarding the causes of the collapse of the State Audit Office building under construction in Bangkok, so that preventive measures can be taken in future constructions to avoid similar tragedies.
