At the Red Line R22A Qiaotou Sugar Factory Station where the station manager of the Kaohsiung MRT Mikan is on duty, there was an incident of the platform wall peeling off this morning, and some objects fell onto the track, affecting the operation of the vehicles. Kaohsiung MRT immediately followed standard procedures to urgently remove the obstacles, and it took about 22 minutes to return to normal. The MRT Bureau later requested a comprehensive inspection.

The MRT Bureau stated that at 8:42 this morning, the platform end wall peeled off at the R22A Qiaotou Sugar Factory Station on the Gaojie Red Line. Part of the peeling material fell onto the track, affecting the normal operation of the train.

Gaojie immediately activated the emergency response mechanism in accordance with standard operating procedures, dispatched trains and removed track obstacles, and resumed normal operations on the entire line at 9:04 a.m. It took 22 minutes to handle the incident.

The MRT Bureau stated that in response to this incident, it has instructed Gao Jie to immediately comprehensively inspect the incident area and surrounding walls, proactively remove potentially loose or insufficiently adherent wall materials, and preventively erect protective nets to prevent similar situations from happening again.

In addition to requiring Gaojie to clarify the cause of this incident as soon as possible, review relevant maintenance and improvement measures, it will also expand safety inspections on the walls of buildings at each station, establish a management inventory for potential risk areas at each station, handle preventive repairs and reinforcements, and implement a pre-emptive prevention mechanism.
