A Skyscraper That Is a Major Construction Disaster (24 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       13 Aug 2013       12598       8 GALLERY VIEW

The In Tempo building in Spain is the tallest residential building within the European Union at 47 stories. However, the construction team seem to have overlooked one major design necessity…
 

Since the building was originally planned to have only 20 stories and was enlarged after this fact, the builders forgot to adapt the elevator shaft to accommodate the extra height meaning that there is no elevator from floor 21 to 47. Even more shockingly, the oversight was not spotted until the building was almost completed.

If the Engineers ONLY overlooked the elevator, I'm sure they didn't make any other mistakes when they hastily expanded the size... No...

I would have liked to hear the conversation in the room when the error was discovered.

Translated from the Spanish...

Pedro: Well, the building almost done...

Hector: Yes, and all we need to do is.... wait a second....(very long pause as he examines the blueprints, furiously flipping the pages back and forth)...I don't think....uhhhh....where are the elevators for floors 21 - 47???

Markus: WHAT???? Let me see..... OH SHIT!!!!

Pedro: OH SHIT!!!

Hector: FUCK!!!

Redondo: Oh my God!!!

Maria: You fucking idiots!!!

You have some really crappy construction managers to not notice the elevators stopping half way up and them not speak up about it.
