We deeply regret the recent accident at our Jadjad Bridge construction site where three of our contractor’s workers sustained injuries while two others have been declared dead.
Results of our initial investigation indicate that, despite all safety precautions and procedures being in place, a steel girder collapsed for a yet undetermined cause. Further investigation on the cause of the accident is still being thoroughly conducted.
NLEX Corp has assured the families of the affected workers that assistance will be provided at this unfortunate time.
While this is an isolated incident, to further ensure the safety of the remaining workers, we are temporarily suspending construction works at the Jadjad bridge site until further safety and preventive measures are in place, and to prevent the recurrence of similar unfortunate events.
We shall provide further updates as they happen.
