Florida condo workers reportedly suspended repairs last fall due to concrete damage

A bombshell report from October has reportedly revealed that workers at the Champlain South Towers South in Florida discovered concrete deterioration and reinforcement corrosion that was so bad that they couldn’t carry out repairs amid concerns they “could affect the stability of the remaining adjacent concrete constructions.”

The nine-page report from Oct. 13, 2020, by engineering firm Morabito Consultants, obtained by USA Today, found that workers from Concrete Protection and Restoration found potentially deep deterioration of concrete near the pool area. Restoration and repair work “could not be performed” because the pool “was to remain in service for the duration of the work” and because concrete excavation at the location “could affect the stability of the remaining adjacent concrete constructions,” the news outlet reported.
