Safety guardrail pile driver overturns in vegetable field, high pricing by the owner invites trouble

Our safety guardrail pile driver experts work away from home all year round. It's truly not easy, and encountering even a minor accident can be unsettling. In Zunyi, a teacher turned a pile driver into a vegetable field, crushing dozens of rapeseed plants. The owner of the incident demanded compensation of 30,000 yuan. While this might seem like a simple matter, it really shouldn't have escalated to detainment. On April 10th, during construction in the first section of the Goujiang Town, Zunyi County, by the first construction team of the Qian-Yu High-Speed Railway, an operating pile driver tipped over into an adjacent rapeseed field. "We are willing to compensate for the losses of several dozen rapeseed farms," said a construction manager, estimating the losses would not exceed 1,000 yuan. However, the owner of the incident, Mr. Wang, insisted on claiming 30,000 yuan, otherwise, the equipment could not be moved. The construction side offered to compensate proactively, but the vegetable field's owner greedily demanded more and even called the police to avoid a deadlock. The outcome of this decision was surprising: a loss of 360 yuan ended up costing 30,000 yuan, leading to detention for suspected extortion. It also serves as a warm reminder to supervisors that regular maintenance is essential during pile driver operation to ensure good mechanical performance and guarantee normal construction progress. As the saying goes, "Sharpening your axe will not delay the work of cutting wood."
