Investigation Reveals Design Flaws in Pool Deck of Florida Apartment Building Put Building at Risk of Failure Before Construction

Federal investigators have revealed that design flaws in the pool deck of the Surfside, Florida, apartment building, which collapsed in June 2021 killing 98 people, put the building at risk of failure before it was even built. The investigation is still ongoing, and the findings of the investigation will be released in the coming months. The National Institute for Standards and Technology is working with the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation to ensure similar tragedies do not occur in the future.
