The information gathered revealed that fourteen construction workers have been rescued in the Roman Ridge building collapse
The building under construction at the premises of the Architectural Engineering Group at Roman Ridge has collapsed, trapping several workers beneath the rubble.
Emergency response teams from the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) rushed to the scene and managed to rescue about 14 construction workers, who were found in critical condition.
The victims, many of whom sustained severe injuries, have been transported to the 37 Military Hospital and the Ridge Hospital for urgent medical attention.
Ghana’s emergency response team, led by the GNFS Headquarters and supported by the National Ambulance Service and the Police, are at the scene.
Rescue operations are still ongoing as authorities work to locate any remaining victims.
On a Facebook page, the GNFS announced the incident occurred earlier in the day.
The situation has sent workers and nearby residents into panic.
The Emergency response teams have cordoned off the area as part of safety measures, while an investigation is expected to be launched to determine the cause of the collapse.
The correct number of people trapped and the cause of the collapse are yet to be confirmed.
Some Ghanaians have reacted to the development, saying, “If they do structural integrity tests on most buildings in Accra, most won’t survive! Builders and regulators cut corners, but the beautiful thing is that you can’t cheat nature! If you cut corners and build, one day ur building would be exposed”.
Another netizen wrote,“We have a nation of Structural, Geotechnical Engineers, Architects, Building Technologists, but no.. Masons would rather be used because ‘he’s got experience”…
Also, the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) has directed the site manager of a collapsed building at Roman Ridge to immediately halt all construction.
The incident involved a three-storey building under construction being undertaken by Fabrico Builders.
The building is located between a 10-storey high-rise apartment and the Ghana Institute of Engineering at Roman Ridge.
Investigations are now underway to determine the cause of Tuesday’s structural collapse at the Roman Ridge Engineering Centre.
