    Current Affair is running a special this week, supposedly construction videos, it'll be sensationalised but the images will be interesting.

    Yeah, it looks like they're just repairing the cracks, I was expecting some kind of permanent column supports would be installed on the inside of the panel wall, taking some load off the wall and hob beam.

    mango tree, it definitely looks like an epoxy it would be interesting to know if they are using it to strengthen or repair the panels. And it'd good to know what they're doing on the other side of the panelled wall. Hopefully we'll see more on Sunday night. Took some screen captures of the 60...

    Agent666, yes it's definitely confusing especially considering the level of damage we've seen in photo's and videos.

    MDEAus, here's an earlier photo of her apartment, you can't see the crack but you can see in the video how they have cut a larger hole in the ceiling plasterboard following the crack. She probably didn't even notice the crack on the 3rd, she was probably in shock.

    This In-adequate tensile capacity in the horizontal direction in the bottom region of Panel A that rests on the hob beam spanning columns C21 and C38. There is compelling evidence indicating that the wrong size reinforcing bars were placed in this area during manufacture of this particular...

    What I'd like to know is why there are no columns on L1-L3 and L10-L15 at grid line 20, above the point of failure. Why would the builder/designer unnecessarily load the slabs on L1 and L10. What's different/special. Every other garden location where you have prefab panels installed at grid...

    Agent666 here's the approximate location of propping in unit 301 and 302. 101,102 and 201,202 were also propped so I would assume they also follow grid line 15. The partition wall between units 301 and 302 has been removed between B1. Approximate prop location marked in red along grid...
