The torture of blood under the scaffolding The two recent collapse accidents are really shocking. People have to ask what happened to the capital, which is the relatively most regulated construction market in the country! What exactly is the problem? Who among the parties involved in the construction should be held responsible for this accident, and how can we prevent another tragedy from happening again? As an engineering technician with more than ten years of construction experience, the author analyzes the current situation of the construction market based on this case, hoping to attract social attention. torture one: What happened to the engineering and technical staff? This is a typical vicious accident caused by construction technology. The cause of the formwork support instability and collapse was design calculation errors or erection errors. Formwork support calculation is a relatively simple calculation in engineering calculations. However, in actual work, there is a shortage of excellent formwork designers, and most construction units lack design capabilities. The reason for this is not a problem of education, but a manifestation of distortions in the construction market. Today's construction talent market is focused on impetuousness and luxury, blind pursuit of high academic qualifications and prestigious schools, and does not pay attention to practical talents. Whether in our country or in developed countries * * , practical experience is an indispensable element for talents in the construction industry. The formwork engineering of Xixi Engineering cannot be solved by a master's degree in structural engineering. I have been with developed many times * * We work with construction professionals who have high requirements and recognition for experience. The leading construction units (real estate developers) in the construction industry are the most prominent in this regard. They are often highly educated, but in fact they have very poor quality and safety management capabilities for projects. Real estate developers spend large sums of money to hire highly educated people as a sales strategy. Moreover, according to my country's current laws, construction units basically do not assume legal responsibility for project quality and safety. As for financial responsibility? As long as someone buys a house, who needs to worry about financial responsibility? We can imagine the outcome of the Xixi Project accident. The owner is highly educated and powerful. If such an accident occurs, no one will bear legal responsibility. Prescribe the right medicine: Strengthen the qualifications for important technical positions in construction units. Torture 2: Where has the supervision unit gone? It is said that the formwork plan of the Xixi Project has not been approved by the supervisor at all, but why didn't the supervisor stop it? Why is the construction unit so bold and brutal in construction? Due to my country's current system, the role of supervision is minimal. The actual role of supervision can be said to be limited to improving the management of construction units and cannot be monitored at all. Generally, construction units have absolute power over projects and have the right to supervise. In fact, those who have the power to control it don’t care, and those who don’t have the power to control it are just yelling. It often happens that the work is done without the approval of the supervisor, but nothing happens after the work is completed, and the work is left alone. The construction unit only cares about progress and cost, while the supervisor only cares about quality and safety. Construction unit personnel have very little legal responsibility for quality and safety, so they often use themselves to abuse their management rights over the supervision, interfere with the management of the supervision, or simply deprive you of your coercive rights. I am not saying here that the construction unit must delegate power to the supervisor, but the minimum principle is unified coordination and equal responsibilities and powers. If the person who has absolute rights over the project does not need to bear any legal responsibility, it will inevitably result in neither the construction unit nor the supervisor being able to effectively manage the project. Therefore, there will be a strange phenomenon that construction was carried out without the plan approved by the supervisor in the Xixi accident. Supervision units are a unique industry in our country. Although the implementation of the supervision system has indeed brought about an improvement in the quality of our country's projects, it still cannot escape the fate of its embarrassing existence. Supervision has now basically become a tool used by construction units, but it is strange that supervision is not a market formation, but a * * imposed. In our country, supervisors are hired by the construction unit to provide services to the construction unit. The specific service content and price are agreed upon by both parties. However, the law stipulates that if something goes wrong with the construction unit, the supervisor will bear legal responsibility. This is a source of confusion in construction management. Prescribe the right medicine: Either the supervision unit is handed over to the market, and the market decides what management rights and responsibilities it has and the construction unit takes full responsibility, or * * Responsible for selecting representatives of supervision units * * Strict law enforcement has legal rights that are not restricted by the construction unit. Torture three: The construction unit doesn't care? The construction unit may have the following reasons:: 1. Inability to manage means lack of personnel with construction management experience ； 2. No responsibility and unwilling to take care of it ； 3. Construction deadline pressure or illegal command in favor of the construction unit ； my country's current laws and regulations impose very little quality and safety responsibility on the construction side, especially construction management, which has almost no responsibility. Of course, it is common sense that if a quality safety accident occurs in a project, the economic losses suffered by the construction unit will also be huge, but the staff of the construction unit does not need to bear legal responsibility. This is different from the construction unit and the supervision unit. * * different. Quality and safety issues are also a headache for construction units, but the current system protects construction units. For example, real estate developers do not pay much attention to project quality because home buyers and real estate developers are in unequal positions regarding project quality. If you have doubts about quality issues such as the area of your house, you cannot hire qualified units or individuals to verify the quality of your house. However, real estate developers organize the supervision, design and construction units they hire according to regulations to conduct so-called "four-party verification", which is a document to confirm quality. * * The department only supervises and accepts the process, which can be managed or ignored. There is only one way for home buyers to make administrative complaints, which often go unanswered. Quality and safety are often closely linked. The builder can legally self-evaluate the quality, but without the supervision of users and strict self-discipline, it becomes empty talk. Prescribe the right medicine: The construction unit must take full responsibility ； Modify specifications to make them more conducive to project acceptance ； The supervision unit is authorized to assess the quality of the project and can be entrusted by anyone to assess the quality of the project. Torture four: * * The department doesn’t check? I think this case * * The department does not have any responsibility. The people I contacted from the urban construction committees at all levels * * No one understands template design at all, this is a professional issue, not some * What members of the Communist Party of China called “lax thinking, carelessness, and weak safety awareness”” * * * Members don’t understand and don’t need to understand. * * The responsibility lies with the widespread management chaos that is not well managed. The market has not been effectively guided to make it increasingly standardized. lay the foundation for such accidents. There have been a lot of meetings recently, mainly to strengthen safety management. * * Ministries have been using it for decades. This kind of surprise management sometimes achieves some results, but it has a certain utilitarian flavor. If the opportunity is good, the accidents will indeed be reduced, but it is often difficult to contain it, and even concealment occurs. It is unimaginable that a single decree can immediately reverse the chaos in the construction market. We must carefully standardize and research and formulate regulations that meet the needs of development, use social forces to establish a good supervision mechanism, rely on a surprise inspection, and rely on * * “Horizontal to edge, vertical to bottom" is impractical. It is hoped that the relevant units can calmly think about how to standardize the construction market and prescribe the right medicine to cure the disease. A swarm of bees, a one-size-fits-all approach, and a rush for quick success cannot really solve the problem, but instead make it more chaotic. Don't brag about a period of peace that happens to happen. Safety and quality must be scientific, standardized and orderly, and perseverant.
