A scale collapsed on a construction site opposite Kwai Chung Estate's Bi Kui Building last week, resulting in the death of an operator. The Housing Authority stated that it has begun work to remove the scale starting this morning, with a target completion time of before noon on Tuesday.The Authority noted that due to the engineering work being conducted on a slope, combined with the need to divide the scale into multiple sections for convenient hoisting, and each section requiring temporary reinforcement to secure it, the difficulty is higher than anticipated. After the scale is removed, it will be transported to a temporary storage warehouse for subsequent inspection by relevant departments.

A construction site opposite Bikuai Building, Pik Uk Estate, Kwai Chung, experienced a scale collapse last week, resulting in the death of an operator. The Housing Department stated that removal work has begun this morning, aiming to complete it before 12 noon on Tuesday.

The department indicated that because the project is on a slope and the scale needs to be divided into multiple parts for easier lifting, with each part secured by temporary supports, the difficulty is higher than expected. After removal, the scale will be transported to a temporary storage warehouse for further inspection by relevant departments.
