And he'll blame the subs. The subs will blame the architects, and round and round we go for years.
What a cluster. Sucks for the kids and parents.

The article reads that the engineering firm will be the ones taking the beating on this. They will try to point the finger at the contractors and some will fall to them but the engineers will take the most from it.
According to the article a lot of the concourse doesn't meat load bearing specs in the design aspect so no matter what the contractor did after that, the concourse will ultimately fall back to them.
Shrinkage cracks are on the contractor and the engineers/testing lab both. They pop up when concrete is poured with too much water and allowed too dry too fast which means that half the blame falls on use contractor for pouring it like that and half falls to the test lab for allowing them to.
This thing will be a glorious shitstorm that I am so happy to be no where near but can watch. The engineers will tear apart every single thing that the contractor possibly did out of specs to push the blame to them and the contractor will have to do nothing but defend themselves.
