“Raba-Kistner Consultants Inc. of San Antonio and Datum Engineering of Austin.”

Those two firms will not look good on your resume.

Can't wait to see the implosion!

We had a demolition of the building next to my office back in March - the old Compass Bank on Post Oak. It was COOOOOOOL.

This will be an interesting demolition due to the proximity of some luxury homes just to the north of the ‘leaning tower’ and well within the likely debris radius.

From what I understand from the locals, the engineering firm planned on joining the parking garage to the tower structure as one rigid element, not thinking through the fact that the garage is considerably lighter than the tower. The lean is noticable from across the Laguna Madre...

When I was there a couple of weeks ago, big cracks were visible in the concrete structure and fairly large chunks were falling off. They’d better hurry with that demolition, before the thing comes crashing down all on its own!
