Safety questions at A.C. parking garage probed By Jennifer Moroz and Amy S. Rosenberg
The apparent lack of any ties securing the garage floors to that wall is one of two main 'suspects' in the collapse, Mongeluzzi said.
'We don't know whether that was by design, or failure to follow design,' Mongeluzzi said.
Jerry Kilby, Atlantic City's chief engineer, said he could not determine what had kept the floors attached to that wall.
'I was curious about that myself,' he said recently.
So were workers.
'The deck collapsed. Everything went straight down,' said Mike Dabundo, an iron worker at the site. 'There was nothing in there for it to tie into.'
Mongeluzzi and Stewart Eisenberg, a lawyer representing three men injured in the collapse, said they also were investigating whether the drying concrete decks were well-enough supported from below. Special poles are used to help hold up decks until they can support themselves.
The lawyers said they were looking into whether those poles were removed too soon before the wet concrete had enough time to dry.
