Balfour Beatty has launched an investigation after a tower crane section fell while being dismantled at the Midland Metropolitan Hospital on Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n

The West Midlands Fire Service attended the scene and confirmed no-one was injured in the incident.<\/p>\n

Balfour was appointed last October to patch-up and weatherproof the stalled \u00a3320 scheme after original contractor Carillion went bust.<\/p>\n

A Balfour Beatty spokesperson said: \u201cWe can confirm that an incident took place on our Midland Metropolitan Hospital site on 9th April 2019 whereby a section of crane fell whilst being dismantled.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe health and safety of the public and our workforce is always our primary concern and we can confirm that no one was hurt as a result of this incident.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe surrounding area was immediately secured and works have now ceased on site while the crane section is safely removed, after which works will resume.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cAn investigation is on-going into the cause and therefore it would be inappropriate to comment further at this time.\u201d<\/p>\n
