SINGAPORE: The Building and Construction Authority (BCA) said on Monday (Jul 28) it is starting an independent investigation into the Tanjong Katong sinkhole incident, now that the ground situation has been stabilised.

“The investigation will examine the circumstances leading to the formation of the sinkhole, identify the root causes, and take the necessary actions against any non-compliance under the Building Control Act and Regulations,” BCA said in a media statement. 

The agency said investigations could take several months, given the complexity of the incident.

“It will include detailed geotechnical analysis and other validation tests by BCA and its appointed consultants,” BCA added.
