Scope of work – investigate the root cause of the failure and to devise durable, cost-effective repairs. The investigations concluded that there was a systemic problem extending to a significant percentage of the metal panels. C3 proposed solution enabled the reuse of the existing panels. This resulted in significant cost savings over the option of installing new panels. A mock-up was built and tested to confirm that the proposed repair could withstand the newly specified loads. Full scale repairs were completed in late 2007.
