So what went wrong? What was the state ministry of works and environment doing in respect to the progress of the building work? Chineke mere anyi ebere.
Re: Owerri Collapsed Building: Before And After Photos by Ninethmare:
using substandard materials to build such an edifice.

That Engineer needs to be questioned
Even the town planning needs to be queried

How was work even going on there when there is a lockdown? So sad!

The contractor probably cut corners while doing the foundation of the building. The foundation just couldn't bear to carry the weights of the floor decks and pillars much longer hence the collapse.

Possibly, the column base, perfectly required rods, thickness of casting, foundation walls and other structural activities in the foundation were properly done.

How about the soil test where the strength of soil should be checked? That's what many builders overlook before building.

They just assume judging with the nearby buildings, next is site preparation, do their setting out and booom, they don start foundation.

Exactly! They should investigate and prosecute anyone (corporate or individual) found to be culpable....for manslaughter or murder!

Oh, they were attempting a skyscraperhuh, with substandard materials??

I laugh in swahili. Someone's years of sweat, wasted!!!

Greed should be the cause. The owner should have made it 3 story, but he went ahead.....


There should be a problem with the foundation and also the type of rods being used.

Let’s just blame Buhari for this and move on as usual.
Re: Owerri Collapsed Building: Before And After Photos by dangoteinlaw: 1:02pm On May 01, 2020
And it was even under construction, that engineer should be put behind bars asap. Both him and the client should be arained and jailed

Re: Owerri Collapsed Building: Before And After Photos by Dpharisee: 1:03pm On May 01, 2020
Poor structural engineering and materials.
The contractor should be help liable, this is why engineering students are taught strength of materials to know the load bearing capacity of construction materials and types of foundation for various terrain.
Re: Owerri Collapsed Building: Before And After Photos by Albedo27(m): 1:04pm On May 01, 2020
If I'm not mistaken, that structure is more than fifteen years old. It was abandoned for a long time.
Re: Owerri Collapsed Building: Before And After Photos by Poorboy41: 1:04pm On May 01, 2020
