J and J Enterprises, a concrete Las Vegas provider, monitors closely the drama unfolding in Salem, Oregon. Engineers say that bad concrete is responsible for the failing Courthouse Square building, and the repairs may be too costly. Engineers told Marion County and Salem Area Transit District officials Tuesday that tests show too much water was used in the concrete mix, causing excessive micro-fractures, AP reports. County and transit workers have been moved out as the officials decide what to do with the building. The five-story building was built 10 years ago at a cost of $34 million. County and transit officials have settled lawsuits with contractors for $1.8 million, The Columbian reports.
“Bad concrete can cause numerous structural issues, making a building hazardous and sometimes not eligible for repair,” concrete Las Vegas specialists J and J Enterprises said. A hasty job performed by unqualified professionals was probably cheaper, but the costs became infinitely higher in the long run. J and J Enterprises stresses the importance of hiring certified experts that have expertise with specific types of jobs that the client needs.
