What she saw the pool deck (concrete) collapse.

Quoting: thinking... A consultant engineer warned back in October 2018 that the Champlain Towers South building in Surfside, Miami Beach, was in need of numerous repairs around the base of the structure 'in a timely fashion' Structural field survey specifically raised concerns about the pool deck area and underground parking garage Waterproofing was 'failing' in the pool deck, 'causing major structural damage' to the concrete slab below The parking garage, some of which lay beneath the pool area, had 'abundant cracking and spalling' The report does not warn that the building was at risk of collapse but says repairs would help in 'maintaining the structural integrity' of the building An attorney for the resident-led condo association said repairs were about to begin - 2 1/2 years later The report was released by officials overnight Friday as questions swirl over what caused the collapse Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava vowed to 'get to the bottom of what happened' The mayor of Surfside called for the evacuation of residents living in the block's sister building More than 48 hours on from Thursday's disaster, 159 people are still unaccounted for [link to www.dailymail.co.uk (secure)] i dont know how much you were paid for that garbage |

I believe it! Rusty rebar. Two days before condo collapse, a pool contractor photographed this damage in garage [link to www.yahoo.com (secure)] “You can see extensive corrosion of the rebars at the bottom of the beam. That is very serious,” Ehsani said, commenting it was the worst damage he had seen documented in the building so far. The equipment room runs along the southern wall of the building — an area that did not collapse. “If the condition of the beam in the pool guy’s photo is something that was also happening under the building, that is a really major concern,” Ehsani said. In that case, it “absolutely” could have contributed to the collapse. |
