Ghostrider Posted September 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 I find a certain level of irony that Planning/Building Control are one of those having to run away before it falls on them. The phrase, 'You had one job.....' seems apt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheelsup Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 (edited) Apparently there was a build up of brown stuff (B.S.) in the rafters. It had been designed to operate with B.S. for 25 years, but apparently there has been a huge out of control increase in B.S. Several tons of B.S. in fact putting great strain on the whole system.

Wheelsup Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 'Tent is a covered football/hockey pitch for the new school. Da White Hoose is apparantly rented from SLAP, the Shetland Charitable Trust property wing. But as its under 10 years old it should be the builders problem?

wotsit Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 Oh that what the white tent is for, I thought it was the new indoor riding school or one large communal tent instead of the campsite. As for the original post you just couldn't make it up. Building regs did good job at signing that one off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be interesting to see whether there was a 10 year warranty on par with NHBC (although they do offer them too for commercial properties) and/or whether or not it turns out to be a design fault (architect)/load miscalculation (structural engineer)/insufficient foundations ... might end up a nice insurance claim, who knows?

Urabug Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 I'm surprised that this office was ever allowed to be built at the North Ness next to a fuel depot with a ship repair yard next to it. Welding torches,aceylene and oxygen cylinders.power tools,guess it must meet health and safety Probably lucky it is only a little subsidence(if that should be the problem) and that it is not the whole thing going ,**BOOM BOOM**.

wotsit Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 Well, if it is subsidence, you know why that is - the big head know it all's in the basement (planning and building regs). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lerwick antiques Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 They might have to move to the old AHS building after the new one is complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
