Broken Buildings Expert, Dimitri Livas explores the recent evacuation of Mascot Towers due to structural issues and cracking support beams. How many more buildings will be evacuated? In the space of six months, two predominant towers in NSW have been evacuated by emergency services due to the safety of residents after structural issues. First it was the Opal Tower in December 2018, and now Mascot Towers has experienced movement and cracking in a major structural support beam that prompted engineers, building management and emergency services to evacuate the building pending further investigations. Why is this happening? Is it just happening in NSW? What is the cause of these building issues and how widespread is the problem? Is this just the tip of the iceberg? The builder seems to be the first one everyone points the finger at, but it’s a much more complex problem than that, involving engineers, architects, strata managers, owner corporations and government authorities. So, how do we fix the problem and focus on creating healthy buildings?
