On July 24, 2026, China Youth Daily exposed a major hidden danger of an external scaffolding accident in a project in Xinjiang: the foundation was not compacted properly, the bearing capacity was insufficient, overall settlement occurred, the bottom of the pole was suspended, and it shook with just a push by hand.
The entire first floor is not equipped with connecting wall components, and the scaffolding lacks lateral tie constraints.
Some scaffolding poles are directly located on soft sandy soil ground.
