Reply #43: Its not just one parking lot

[conscious evolution]

I have worked on several construction projects in Atlanta that were built by the same contactor.The things I saw on their projects scared the hell out of me.
At the Atlantic Station project they built it is only a matter of time before the parking decks collapse.The place is built with rotten concrete.The precast concrete decks do not have enough tension cables.Many of the tension cables were cut by other trades when drilling through to mount or install equipment.The decks are so weak they added metal banding in an attempt to strengthen them.
The thing that freaked me out was how much the decks flex.Me and a helper were thrown into the air when a forklift drove across the deck and caused it to flex up and down over a foot.if we would have been on ladders or lifts we would have been seriously injured.

I will not go into any building built by hrdin construction anymore due to fear of their shoddy work.
