Sinkhole and gas leak prompt emergency evacuation near Taipei FPG site
Posted on 2026-07-09 07:01:14
A road collapse and gas leak at the redevelopment site of Formosa Plastics
Group's former headquarters in Taipei's Songshan District prompted the
evacuation of nearby residents and traffic restrictions.

The Taipei Fire Department says a sinkhole measuring about 4-meters in
length, 2-meters and width and 1-meter in depth appeared on Dunhua North
Road.

The collapse of the road ruptured a gas pipeline, and gas services were
halted.

Firefighters cordoned off the area, evacuated nearby residents, and imposed
traffic restrictions.

The Taipei City Department of Urban Development says the incident was related
to construction work being carried out by B-E-S Engineering at the
redevelopment site.

The company could face a fine due to violations of the Building Act for
causing the pipeline rupture and road collapse.
