I'm wondering how plumbing & grey/black water could possibly withstand inches of shear or compression stress without bursting leaks, let alone feet.

- notimetorelax 5y agoI’m guessing since they expected the building to settle there were some allowances. So it is possible, but of course with a settling 3x of what’s expected I wonder too.
- genocidicbunny 5y agoMy guess is they already have flexible connections with a lot of those on account of earthquake safety. You don't want all your pipes bursting and liquefying the ground during an earthquake. Depending on where the connections are in the building, they may also not have suffered as much settlement as the most affected corner of the building.
- redis_mlc 5y agoThey've had problems already. Horizontal pipes are supposed to be at a slight angle, and the tilt has already exceeded that angle, so there is leaking of sewage. Also the elevator will stop running after the angle exceeds about 3 degrees. Either way, the occupancy certificate will be revoked.
