mbird Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Just heard through the grapevine that a steel structure came down yesterday in Ilford. It was fabricated by one of my clients near Norwich, and drawn by a chap I know that does the same work as I do for them. Thankfully no one was hurt, as it collapsed just a few minutes after everyone finished for the day! http://www.london24.com/news/ilford_city_gates_building_collapse_search_for_casualties_continuing_1_1193958 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY littleboat Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Crikey Mark, that's a serious incident. Any indication on the grapevine as to what caused it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBA Marine Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 perhaps friday afternoon fabrication! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbird Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 No idea at the moment. Could be a design issue, or a temporary stability issue if they had a lot of wet concrete around. I'm sure it'll be thouroughly investigated. I can imagine there are PI insurance companies everywhere looking into it...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
