The engineering and general contracting firms had outstanding ESG scores to win the contract. What possibly could have gone wrong?

Maybe they forgot to calculate the factor of safety needed to withstand a heavy point load on the floor system. Or they forgot to factor in the weight of the concrete as part of the floor system.

As for contractor, I guess they forgot to toss their air vibrator in the pour to settle the concrete.
