Ep 20. Construction Engineering: Two Failed Lifts
- 32 min
Some engineering failures occur when the construction process goes badly awry. Explore two such cases: one in which five people died trying to implement an ad hoc solution to an unexpected construction challenge and one in which a building collapse was caused by a flawed technology that was intended solely to improve construction efficiency. Construction is the world?EUR(TM)s most hazardous occupation, and engineering input can be as important during construction as it is in design.
