Elevator shaft walls now in focus
Bangkok Post
|April 25, 2025
The State Audit Office (SAO) has issued a statement explaining the decision to reduce the thickness of the walls of the elevator shafts at its new 30-storey building, which allegedly contributed to the structure's collapse during an earthquake.
According to the statement, the thickness of the shaft's walls was reduced to align with the proper building standards for the interior architecture.
The SAO said in the statement that ITD-CREC, a joint venture between SET-listed Italian-Thai Development Plc and China Railway No.10 Thailand Co, was awarded the contract to construct the building.
PKW joint venture was contracted by the SAO to supervise the project. A joint venture between Forum Architect Co and Meinhardt (Thailand) was contracted to design the building.
