In the early morning of June 24, 2021, the eastern half of the 12-story Champlain Towers South Condominium collapsed, tragically killing 98 residents of the 40-year-old building in Surfside, Florida. WJE was retained by attorneys representing the condominium association to determine the cause of the collapse and provide litigation support. Based on document review, field investigation, material testing, and analysis, WJE determined that the collapse was initiated by punching shear failures in the pool deck slab, which failed columns at the south face of the building, leading to the destruction.
Join us to welcome Dr. Matthew Fadden, Associate Principal, WJE, as he shares their forensic findings and outlines what led to the horrific collapse of at least half of the 136-unit structure.
Early Bird Registration is Open!
