the town of Benidorm in Alicante, Spain, had almost completed its 47-story skyscraper when it realized it excluded plans for elevator shafts.

WTF

I doubt the fucker is even structurally sound

Saw this on CNN - the town was hit hard by real estate crash. This project was supposed to usher in the new era of prosperity - instead just all fail.

Must have been an architect from GFY.

Market the upper floors to fitness freaks.

Problem solved.

Very hard to make that mistake.

But the short version is that the original project was intended to be 20 stories. Then the builders decided to make Intempo 47 stories tall but forgot to properly rescale their plans. So the elevators are too small and the motors not powerful enough.

The elevators are there, they just don't work, because they were designed for a 20 storie building

That makes more sense.

Still shocking.

freecartoonporn · 08-10-2013, 11:52 PM

its not that hard to add elevator from out side.....if you have funds ;)

L-Pink · 08-11-2013, 12:00 AM

And no one working there figured this out?

That's what I was thinking. I don't see how anyone could make this big of a mistake unless they wanted outside elevators but couldn't get it approved.

That's odd. You can't just decide to add 20 floors to a building without having designed it to be structurally sound and be able to support the extra weight.

This sounds like a fail on more than one front.

It's what you can expect in southern Europe these days.

And now they want to add the weight and pressure of external elevators coupled with the required openings on each floor reducing the structural integrity even more.

Talk about an under engineered disaster waiting to happen.

We really don't know if they have put thought in to this or not. The story is just one of the usual "random" storied the news like to retell over and over. Most of those are 80% fantasy and 20% facts.

bean-aid · 08-11-2013, 09:43 AM

You can *maybe* squeeze 2 more stories onto a structurally designed footing system. Let alone the frame.
It is totally skewed reporting.
If a structural engineer designed a structure capable of supporting 20 more stories the owner would fire him for that.

Zeiss · 08-11-2013, 10:31 AM

Ask support. They will fix.

Maqua · 08-11-2013, 10:38 AM

I would say the engineer knew probably just hoped no one would question their authority or ask until he was long gone hehe

J. Falcon · 08-11-2013, 10:42 AM

Fly a plane into the top of each tower, once they've both dropped into their own footprints, rebuild with elevators

Pre-wire it for demolition first. And that building in the background needs to fall a couple hours later.

dyna mo · 08-11-2013, 04:00 PM

what a train crash.

kane · 08-11-2013, 04:09 PM

Talk about failing big.

This reminds me a little of my home town when they build a new high school. The old high school suffered two problems. When I was a freshman part of the building, including the gym burnt down. There was then an earthquake that damaged another part of it. The city decided it was better to build a new school than the to try to fix and modernize this one.

They pass a bond, start the process and have nothing but problems. For starters they bragged about how the auditorium was state of the art. It was cool, but the plans were screwed up and it was so small you could only fit about 30% of the students in there so they couldn't use it for all-school assemblies and things like that.

Then someone working with the city stole the last $3 million out of the building fund. When the school opened half the classrooms had temporary fold out walls and there were entire sections that were unfinished.

Probably at least 10 people did but they were Spanish and as nobody specifically asked them about it, they couldn't be bothered to bring it up as it might involve more work for them. .

"Today InTempo has 94% of its structure completed, but the 47-story skyscraper doesn't have a single elevator shaft" --- super FAIL!!!

seeandsee · 08-12-2013, 03:49 AM

nobody think about it for months?

Slutboat · 08-12-2013, 03:59 AM

The Spanish were once the most murderous purveyors of genocide on the planet - traveling the world wiping out native peoples and converting all the "heathens" to their beloved myths and fantasies about the one true god and it's bastard son Geezus...

Now..well they are just plain dumb and insignificant.
