imprez55 Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 It says it was prefabbed, so yes, we could build a prefabbed building on a predetermined plot of land with permits ready in 15 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheech Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 It says it was prefabbed, so yes, we could build a prefabbed building on a predetermined plot of land with permits ready in 15 days.But the big question is; was it properly anchored. It wouldn't be the first time that China has attempted to build a high-rise complex on top of easily shifting soil with no sunken concrete supports.

chevysoldier Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 (edited) Thats crazy, the building looks still intact but just completely fell off it's base.... like there was nothing tying the building down.They were building an underground parking garage on one side and dumping the dirt on the other. Ii then rained and made the ground very unstable and you see what happened. Edited November 13, 2010 by chevysoldier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
