(Bloomberg) -- The police are investigating a blueprint of the Indonesia Stock Exchange's building as it continues its probe into the collapse of a mezzanine floor on Monday.
“There's no issue with the main structure of the building, only with the secondary structure,” Samsul Hidayat, a director at the bourse, said in Jakarta Tuesday. The building management ensured in a letter that it was safe to resume activities, he said.
While the main structure keeps the building standing, it is the secondary structure that holds up facades, ceilings and canopies.
The bourse has sealed off the entrance to its Tower 2, where a balcony floor overlooking the lobby collapsed in front of a Starbucks Corp outlet and injured more than 70 people. It has also prohibited access to remaining mezzanine areas, including those in its intact Tower 1. The incident caused no deaths, but 61 people are still hospitalized for injuries, the stock exchange said in a statement.
Farida Riyadi, director at Cushman & Wakefield Inc, which manages the building, declined to name the contractors responsible for the collapsed structure as the investigation is ongoing, she said late Monday.
