By A Correspondent| Tefoma Construction has announced a tragic incident at the Trabablas Interchange project site that resulted in the death of a worker.

In a statement, Tefoma said the accident occurred during crane de-erection operations when a mechanical failure caused the collapse of both a static tower crane and a mobile crane.

“Tefoma Construction (Pvt) Ltd (Tefoma) regrets to report a fatal injury following a mechanical failure during crane de-erection operations at the Trabablas Interchange project site on 6 January 2025,” the company said.

The deceased was an employee of Manzlink (Pvt) Ltd, a subcontracted rigging specialist firm hired by Tefoma for the dismantling process. Tefoma’s board of directors and management have expressed their condolences to the worker’s family, friends, and colleagues.

Tefoma emphasized its commitment to supporting the deceased’s family and is working closely with Manzlink during this challenging time.

“We regret this tragic loss and are offering our full support to the family and Manzlink,” Tefoma added.

Trabablas Interchange has been under construction since 2021 and is expected to be complete before the end of this year.
