Recently, a video appeared on social media capturing an unusual incident with a new building – a 16-story structure began literally sinking into the ground. The footage clearly shows upheaved concrete sidewalks and damaged side cladding of the building. This video sparked a lot of discussion and numerous questions among internet users.
The Ministry of Construction and Housing and Communal Services promptly responded to the circulating video, stating that specialists have already inspected the under-construction residential building located in the Namangan region. According to the representatives of the ministry, the building itself did not undergo subsidence. However, it was found that the cause of the damage was leaking pipes, which caused the concrete sidewalks around the building to sink.
“The cause of the sidewalk subsidence was a malfunction in the drinking water supply system. Water, seeping and accumulating on both sides of the building, caused the concrete sidewalks to subside and the granite slabs to detach from the foundation of the building. Upon examining the building’s foundation and basement, no cracks were found in the side and load-bearing walls, nor any subsidence in the floor,” noted the ministry.
Immediately after identifying the problem, builders began to address the consequences. The subsidence of the sidewalks on both sides of the building was eliminated, the concrete sidewalks themselves were restored, and the granite slabs that had detached from the foundation were reinstalled.
Thus, the problem was resolved, and the building is no longer at risk of further damage.
