The ultimate consequence of taking insufficient care with regard to structural safety is that a building may collapse. This was the case on Saturday 27 May 2017, when part of the parking building near Eindhoven Airport collapsed. The building, which stood right beside the entrance to the airport, was one month away from final delivery.
Based on its investigation, the Board concludes that the collapse was the result of the design decision to rotate the ‘BubbleDeck’ slabs in the floor of the parking building one quarter-turn in respect to the orientation in which they are normally used, without recognising the consequences of this change.
