So some people screwed up a long time ago on the initial design because they didn’t take into account the possible impact of neighboring projects. Ok, geotechnical engineering gets a mulligan on that one. Later, thoroughly on notice that things were screwed up, they designed a solution to fix the problem. But they couldn’t predict that the vibrations from drilling would cause more sinking. Now we’re supposed to believe they can accurately predict what the vibrations of an earthquake will do? If this building is a pile of rubble, somewhere geotechnical engineers will be saying that it couldn’t possibly be predicted. Here’s hoping the big one doesn’t hit while this exciting experiment in foundation installation is ongoing!
