Hsinchu County Councilor Tsai Ying-kun said that there are 400 households on the 20th floor of the community building next to the pothole on Zhuangjing 6th Street, Zhubei City. Now the residents are panicked, fearing that the groundwater flow may cause the soil to continue to be lost, and the road will collapse again. It is life-threatening and may even endanger the structural safety of the building.

[Reporter Liao Xueru/Hsinchu Report] Five roads collapsed around the "Fengcai 520" construction project in Zhubei City, Hsinchu County. The builder, contractor and supervisor were each fined 30,000 yuan, and sent to the Hsinchu District Prosecutor's Office for investigation; but nearby residents were dissatisfied, saying that the county government's two administrative fines totaled only 180,000 yuan, which is a huge blow to the builder. If it is not painful at all, it is no wonder that the builders are unscrupulous, and the remedial work may be a false story, so it will continue to collapse.

According to statistics from the county government, the roads surrounding the "Fengcai 520" project collapsed five times in June last year, July, August, October, January this year and yesterday.

Jiang Liangyuan of the Public Works Department said that in August last year, the builders, contractors and supervisors were each fined 30,000 yuan in accordance with the construction law, which is the highest amount of the penalty.

Mao Zhenfu, head of Shixing District, Zhubei City, where the project was built, said that "Fengcai 520" is located on Ziqiang North Road (County Road No. 117), Shengli 1st Road, Shengli 1st Road and Zhuangjing 6th Street, Shengli 2nd Road, Zhuangjing 6th Street successively The collapse occurred, and the public was also very worried about whether Ziqiang North Road, the main road full of traffic, would also collapse, and there were at least a thousand households in the surrounding community buildings.

Hsinchu County Councilor Tsai Ying-kun said that there are 400 households on the 20th floor of the community building next to the pothole on Zhuangjing 6th Street. Now the residents are panicked. It is dangerous, and may even endanger the structural safety of the building. The Hsinchu County Government is required to maintain the safety of residents. Some residents also proposed to join the residents to file a lawsuit against the builder.

The Public Works Department of Hsinchu County Government said that there have been 5 collapses in the surrounding roads of the "Fengcai 520" project so far. The first 4 collapses occurred on Shengli 2nd Road (left side) and yesterday on Zhuangjing 6th Street (right side).
