He said decision to halt the construction work was made after discussions between the police, Sarawak Gas, the contractor and headmaster of SK Tudan.
“After making a size-up, Lutong station firemen installed barriers around the pile pillars involved.
“Work at the construction site was temporarily halted due to safety factors,” the spokesman said.
He assured that continuous monitoring will be carried out while waiting for assistance from the Bintulu station’s Hazmat Unit to arrive.
After ensuring that the situation was under control and safe, the firemen returned to the station.
According to the spokesman, the Lutong station received a call from the contractor about 10.15am, informing about the emission of gas from the pile holes.
