Following the structural collapse of a slab in the underground parking of the Estación Buenos Aires housing complex in Parque Patricios, the construction company Constructora Sudamericana (Cosud) has released details about the ongoing investigation. The incident, which occurred early Tuesday morning, necessitated the evacuation of 175 apartments in the surrounding buildings as a precautionary measure. Emergency services were deployed to ensure the safety of residents and assess the damage.
On Tuesday, a visual inspection of the affected area was conducted by engineers from the company, alongside local authorities. The inspection aimed to determine the extent of the damage and the structural integrity of the remaining parts of the complex.
