Two commercial units will front onto Esquimalt Road.
Failing to include rebar in the pouring of concrete stairs seems like a pretty big mistake.
Yes, I truly can’t comprehend how none of the carpenters, foreman, site superintendents, engineers and concrete operator didn’t flag this when it was being poured or beforehand. There’s a ton of people around when they are doing pours. You would think someone would have noticed something was missing, apparently not.
The report I saw was basically full of finger pointing or not responding/ignoring the investigators. Not a good look.
I wonder where else they forgot to use rebar.

Presumably, a thorough inspection of all the concrete poured before the incident with the stairs, has now taken place.

Nope. From the report I have read WorkSafe only made them scan the stairs, nothing else. This is evident from street level as you can see where they spray painted the stairs to confirm the rebar. I think it’s crazy that they weren’t forced to do inspections for all structural concrete considering they somehow managed to pour concrete without any rebar in the stairs.
Hopefully EGBC will bring more heat and inspections down on them.
If I were a buyer in this project, it would definitely concern me if no additional concrete inspections are done.
