Update on National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) Champlain Towers South Investigation

Excerpt:  “NIST continues its investigative work, studying the geologic characteristics underneath the collapsed building site, as well as the properties of the building’s foundation system. The subsurface investigation includes standardized procedures for monitoring the groundwater, as well as field and laboratory testing of the soil and rock. Field testing will seek to shed light on how the subsurface soil layers vary in depth below the building and across the building’s footprint.”
