Following press reports regarding the incident that occurred yesterday, 26 February, in the vicinity of the construction site at Gara Băneasa, Metrorex states that it was caused – independently of the works on M6 Metro Line – by a crack in a water pipe belonging to the potable water supplier and the sewerage service operator.
The water ingress affected the road surface at the entrance to Tipografilor Street, at the junction with Șoseaua București–Ploiești. The area was closed off immediately, and the water operator intervened to turn off the supply to the damaged pipe.
The contractor for the South Section of M6 Metro Line immediately began stabilisation works, pouring approximately 150 cubic metres of fluid concrete into the cavity that had formed.
The situation has been remedied and is being monitored, with all the necessary safety measures in place.
