Rome - Shoring System Failure
Rome - Shoring System Failure
(OP)
Shoring system failure in Rome, even though this is called a "sinkhole".
Looks like some sort of secant wall system based on the photos. Should be interesting to see how this gets worked out.

That is not a "sink-hole", it's a catastrophic failure caused by lateral support loss which was clearly evident months in advance. Utter fail, heads must roll.
Thanks for sharing,

Also, reading the story sounds like the failure was ongoing for several days, maybe weeks. People reported cracks in the pavement,etc. but apparently nothing was done. Got to be more to this story.
