Tainan Mayor Huang Wei-che vows to hold construction firms accountable for a sinkhole incident in the West Central District, ensuring city residents’ safety. The collapse, caused by a construction site road failure, led to a truck sinking into a 15x5x3-meter sinkhole and a crane arm falling, damaging traffic signs and buildings. The city government swiftly filled the hole with grout, resumed traffic, and imposed a fine on the negligent construction company. Huang Long Construction faces scrutiny for premature construction steps, prompting safety checks and an improvement plan before work can resume.

Control Yuan Commissioners Lin Kuo-ming and Chang Chu-fang are investigating the construction site collapse on Qingcheng Street in Taipei’s Songshan District, focusing on potential violations of the Building Act. The incident, which occurred on Feb. 23, resulted in a sinkhole and damage to nearby structures, prompting concerns about construction oversight by the Taipei City Government. The inquiry aims to determine if negligence was involved and if legal consequences may follow.

A sinkhole appeared for the third time within three days at a construction site in Hsinchu County. The sinkhole, measuring 2 meters wide and long, continued to expand, causing concern among locals as it was dangerously close to residential areas. Initial assessments by local authorities suggest that soil erosion caused by debris influx was the cause of the collapse. This incident was similar to the previous two collapses, with the first one causing gas and water leaks and the site already experiencing lateral groove ruptures.

A 7-meter-deep, 4.2 meters long, and 3.5 meters wide sinkhole appeared at the intersection of Guangming 6th Road and Xianzheng 7th Street in Zhubei City, Hsinchu County, on Monday (Aug. 21), with residents reporting a strong smell of gas at the site followed by a temporary closure.

Heavy rainfall has led to potholes in various areas in Tainan City, particularly in the Anping District. A roughly one-meter-deep sinkhole also appeared on Chienping 7th Street in the Anping District around 11 a.m. Wednesday (Aug. 8), affecting residents and a passing small passenger vehicle.

Repair work is underway in Nanjing West Road, with traffic expected to resume by Thursday evening, according to the last reports. The massive sinkhole that emerged on Nanjing West Road on Monday (July 10) has startled nearby residents and caused significant disruption.

The sinkhole that emerged on Monday (July 10) morning is ten times larger than the one that materialized on Saturday (July 8) night, measuring 20 meters in length, 15 meters in width, and 2.5 meters in depth, leaving road users astounded and residents apprehensive. Repairs are underway, and traffic is expected to resume within 3 days.

Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an conducted on Monday (July 10) an inspection of the road repair work on the site of a 20-meter-long, 15-meter-wide, and 2.5-meter-deep giant massive sinkhole that appeared at the intersection of Nanjing Xi Road and Guiyang Street over the weekend. 

Despite efforts by the Taipei City Government to fill a sinkhole with cement over the weekend, it reappeared and expanded on Monday morning (July 10), leading to road closures for repair works.
