Transit Center Report Faults Both Designer and Contractor

摘要

A structural evaluation of the Silver Spring Transit Center in Silver Spring, Md., identifies construction and design problems that will further delay the opening of the facility to the public. Millions of dollars over budget and two years behind schedule, the yet-to-be completed transportation hub has been in limbo since, in 2010, extensive cracking was noticed in some of the structure's slabs. In 2012, the county commissioned a team, led by Washington, D.C.-based KCE Structural Engineers, to perform a complete analysis of the structure.
