Nine months before a massive section of Champlain Towers South in Surfside, Fla., came showering down, an engineering firm called Morabito Consultants found severely deteriorated concrete throughout the building, including in load-bearing structures known as corbels.
According to a document acquired by NPR from an anonymous source, the company s probe, conducted between June and October 2020, found problems that appeared even more grave than those identified in an earlier 2018 study of the condo conducted by the same company.
The Maryland-based firm, hired by the condo association s board, is widely respected in the construction industry, in part for helping save another Florida condominium from collapse a decade earlier.
