Federal investigators from the National Institute of Standards and Technology say the design of the pool deck at a collapsed condo building in Florida “deviated' from requirements.
Federal investigators examining the deadly collapse of the Champlain Towers South condominium building inhave revealed that the construction of the property’s pool deck"deviated from design requirements."
"The team’s preliminary evaluation of physical and historical evidence... revealed how the construction of the pool deck deviated from design requirements," the NIST said in a statement Thursday. Months ago, a report emerged that investigators found that the pool deck at Champlain Towers South had a"severe strength deficiency."
Layers of sand and paving stones later were added to the top of the pool deck and there also were signs of corrosion in some parts of the steel reinforcement, leaving the structure overall with a"critically low" margin to safeguard against failure, the investigators reportedly determined at the time.
