Chinese Steel Fails Second Safety Test in Thai Building Collapse Probe The probe into the collapse of Thailand’s State Audit Office building has deepened as steel from Chinese manufacturer Xin Ke Yuan failed a second round of safety tests. The latest batch of 20mm steel bars did not meet the required weight standards, raising further concerns about the integrity of construction materials. Officials say the substandard steel was produced using induction furnace technology, already criticised for its inconsistent output. Although one previously failed 32mm bar has since passed testing, the Department of Special Investigation will now review all findings. This scandal highlights ongoing concerns about construction quality and regulatory enforcement. #ThailandConstruction #Steel #BuildingCollapse #XinKeYuan #ThailandNews
