Engineering fault said to have caused collapse
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA preliminary investigation has found that the collapse was likely due to an engineering fault rather than a safety failure, Channel 2 reports.
According to the report, government inspectors visited the site in Tel Aviv in June and did not notice anything amiss.
Still, the company running the site, Africa Israel Investments subsidiary Danya Cebus, has been linked in recent years to a string of safety violations at its construction sites, the report says.
Danya Cebus construction sites reportedly have also seen three accidents this year, including one in which a 17-year-old worker fell and was injured because he wasn’t wearing a harness.
The report says three investigations were opened against the company in recent years.
