Denver (KDVR) – The largest development of buildings in Denver has become more than a legal battle that could last for years.
Upton housing, which are a high -ranking coral under construction on Street 18 and Welton, as the most ambitious apartment project that the city has witnessed years ago. But Amacon Construction has filed a lawsuit against her concrete contractor, GCON Co. , Accusing the walking company outside the job and removing the support later on the site.
The court documents claim that these procedures have caused cracks in concrete panels and expose the horoscopes to the risk of structural failure. The lawsuit also claims that GCON was full of problems – including unprocessed and concrete inclusion boards that fell out of the tolerance in the industry. Amacon seeks to get at least $ 10 million as compensation for delay and repairs and the cost of appointing a subcontractor.
Christopher Decker, legal analyst for Fox31, said that the scale of this scale is not unusual in the construction world.
Decker said: “The lawsuits between contractors and sub -contractors are in millions of dollars in development projects are not uncommon at all.” “Sometimes litigation continues in such cases for many years.”
He also warned viewers to keep claims in the right quorum.
Decker said: “The statements made by the general contractor must be taken into the context. This is a party party claimed that one of the subcontractors was, so I would like to take their statement of salt beads,” Decker said.
Amacon confirms that safety is not a question, despite allegations.
Decker added: “The idea that a project is millions of dollars in downtown Denver will open and be unsafe and fall is really, I think, not only responsible.”
In a statement of Fox31, Amacon emphasized that the towers are structurally sound, indicating reviews by both its engineer and an independent company from the third party.
“Our structural engineer, along with a company independent of the third party, said that there is absolutely no danger to the safety of workers, residents or public. The construction is progressing under strong supervision,” said Steve Fextul, Vice President of Amacon for Building and Development.
The company said that the GCON was already removed from the project and that the construction is moving forward, with the aim of delivering UPton as a safe and safe addition to the center of Denver.
Decker said the case could take months, if not years, to solve it.
“Wait and see what the inspections show, and he has complete confidence that when this project is open, it will be safe, it will be specifications,” he said. “I would like to tell potential buyers to look at the problems of the largest market instead of small issues for the construction defect lawsuit.”
Amacon asks Denver Judge GCON to remove any additional materials or equipment from the site. The case still makes its way through the Denver Provincial Court.
