Christchurch council engineer involved in unstable building's design

Audio, Radio New Zealand

Building plans signed off by the Christchurch City Council show one of its own structural engineers was involved in the design of a new multistorey building that is unstable. The eight-storey office building at 230 High Street is off-limits as it is too weak and might 'rupture' in an earthquake. But the council insists the planning documents are wrong and its engineer had only a minor role. Phil Pennington reports.

The photographer comments, "This very wonderful Art Deco heritage building in Christchurch had residents living in it until another visit from the building engineers re-re-checking for earthquake damage. Now it is fenced off and on the list for possible demolition".

The engineer who surveyed the building describes the damage to the building as follows: "Panel damaged and displaced at rear - area cordoned off. Loose soffit linings. Damage to ceiling".
