Engineer A
Engineer B
Public
Confidence
0.97
Importance
high
Subject
Engineer B's structurally deficient design for Engineer A's office building basement and overall structure, resulting in actual structural failure during construction
Terminated by
Engineer A's retention of Engineer R to completely redesign the structure
Triggering event
Structural failure during basement construction, confirmed by Engineer R's independent review revealing serious design errors, omissions, and faulty details
Urgency level
high
Source Evidence
Source text
Early during the process of constructing the basement there was a significant structural failure
Text references
Early during the process of constructing the basement there was a significant structural failure
Engineer A retained Engineer R to completely redesign the structure
Engineer R's review revealed a surprising number of serious structural design errors, omissions, and faulty details, not only for the failed basement, but also for the portions of the structure that had not been built yet
