Juanita Building in Gorordo Street in Barangay Kamputhaw, is asking the pull out test to be moved to a later date.The OBO initially scheduled the pull-out test on Thursday, August 22, 2019, to check if the construction complied with the additional anchors or shoring of the excavated site to strengthen the soil and protect the nearby structures.
These mitigation measures were ordered by OBO after the collapse of the back portion of the Juanita Building on August 5 caused by the softening of the soil due to the construction.However, Architect Florante Catalan, the head of OBO received a text message at 7 a.m. Thursday morning from the contractors of the 26-story building asking for more time.He said that instead of the pull out test, the contractors will be identifying the areas to put the additional anchors or shoring in.
He also said the pull-out test will have to be done within the week to assure the safety of the construction. The OBO urged the contractors of the 26-storey buidling to hasten putting mitigation measures to ensure the safety of nearby structures, or else their suspension will not be lifted. /bmjoThe comments uploaded on this site do not necessarily represent or reflect the views of management and owner of Cebudailynews.
