Updated: 5:45pm Wednesday

The following is an update from the Humboldt County Department of Health and Human Services:

Subway was reopened at approximately 4:30 pm (Wednesday) after verification that the plumbing was repaired.

Previously

The Subway sandwich shop on Fourth Street in Eureka was closed Tuesday after food inspectors found an “inoperable toilet and standing wastewater” in the establishment’s bathroom.

Subway is closed until its plumbing is repaired.

“Due to (a) lack of operable toilet available for food employees, the facility must cease operation and (the) permit to operate is suspended by this office,” a report released Wednesday by the Department of Health and Human Services stated.

Subway has 15 days to request a hearing on the issue.

“A food facility shall not operate if there is sewage overflowing or backing up in the food facility or there are no operable toilets available for food employees,” the report states. “This is an imminent health hazard and major violation that requires reinspection.”

The inspector also saw a “mold-like substance” on the soda machine drainboard. It also noted, “ice buildup in the interior of the freezer” noting servicing was needed.

PITTSBURGH, Pa. (KDKA) – A homeowner in Pennsylvania and her boyfriend made a disturbing discovery on her property that explained the many times she could smell a foul odor around her home.

Tracey Douds has lived in her mobile home for about five years.

“I’ve felt weird since I’ve been here, and I didn’t know why or is it just me,” Douds said.

Her boyfriend stumbled upon human remains underneath the home while fixing the plumbing.

At first, she thought he was trying to be funny but then confirmed there were human bones when they went to double-check.

The pair called 911 and police came to investigate.

Douds said she could sometimes smell something but thought it was just a dead animal and didn’t want to mess around with it.

State police said it is unclear how the person died.

THE MILLENNIUM TOWER was once considered a structural marvel. Opened in 2009, it won awards for its structural integrity, including the American Concrete Institution Award for Construction and the Structural Engineering Project of the Year.

Demand for its luxury condos was so great that owners were reselling their units at two to three times the price they originally paid for them, with the penthouse selling for $9.8M.

It’s fair to say that perception no longer holds true. All skyscrapers settle into the ground over the course of their lives, and the movement is planned for during design, but in 2016, it became apparent that the building was sinking much further and faster than expected. Worse, it was beginning to lean over.

Cue a media storm as developers, engineers, homeowners, and the city of San Francisco all rushed to blame — and sue — each other. With hundreds of millions of dollars on the line, that’s hardly a surprise. But what on earth actually happened here?

What went wrong with the Millennium Tower?

Ron Hamburger, the engineer leading the project to fix the issue, blames construction work on a nearby site. While working on the Salesforce Transit Center, crews dug an 18-metre hole and pumped millions of liters of water out of the ground.

According to Hamburger, clearing that much water from the soil created an effect called “soil compaction,” which caused the soil under the tower to start compressing at a far faster rate than predicted. That said, plenty of water was pumped out of the soil directly under the Millennium Tower while it was being constructed, well before ground was broken at the Salesforce Transit Center.

The exact details remain unclear, but what is obvious is that the soil that the skyscraper sits on is not having as expected. While the tower remains habitable and, apparently, safe — as of writing the building is leaning 60 centimeters to the west and 20 centimeters to north — the situation needs to be stabilized as soon as possible.

But what goes into straightening out a 197-metre tall building?

How do you fix a sinking skyscraper?

The plan to correct the tilt looked like this. 52 additional piles — a type of foundation inserted deep into the earth — would be put under the north and south ends of the building, placed through the sidewalk and under the building’s main foundation.

These piles would extend beyond the original foundation, reaching 76 meters to the layer of bedrock below. This is a process called “underpinning”, and it’s fairly common. Hamburger intended these new piles to even out 50 percent of the building’s tilt over the following 10 years, leveling the rest of it over the next half a century.

Work started on the fix in November 2020. But by the following summer, it became clear that it wasn’t going entirely to plan. It was discovered that the installation of these new piles might actually be making the skyscraper’s tilt even worse, contributing to a further 12 centimeters of lean at the top.

The new piles were designed to stop the sinking when they were driven into the bedrock and attached to the skyscraper, an operation scheduled for later in 2022.

However, there are fears the holes that had been dug for the retrofit were causing even more soil movement, and it was later revealed that construction teams had also left a one to four day gap between removing the soil and putting in grout meant to reduce the risk of soil collapse.

Hamburger needed a new plan.

Above: The plan to retrofit Millennium Tower relies on underpinning the building with deep piles.

What’s next for the project?

At a hearing in January 2022, a new scheme for fixing the tower was outlined. The 52 new piles in the original fix would be replaced with 18. These 18 piles would go even deeper underground, and because there would be fewer of them there would be less disturbance to the soil under the building.

This new plan is currently under review and will be decided on by March 2022, it will likely go ahead but further balloon the cost of the fix from US$100M to an estimated US$500M.

Hamburger has claimed that the Millennium Tower would need to lean more than 180cm for it to be unable to withstand an earthquake, a far cry from its current 60cm tilt. That said, the building would be rendered uninhabitable if the plumbing and elevators stop working, and that could occur when the lean gets to 100cm.

So for the engineers it’s a race against time to stabilize the site, one with millions of dollars at stake. But this is more than a case study in what can go wrong — it’s also a reminder of just how robust the engineering of modern megaprojects really is.

Massive buildings with low fault tolerances are built on compactable soil in places all around the world, and virtually none of them suffer from the problems we’ve seen here in San Francisco. And the fact that Hamburger and his team of engineers can even try to un-tilt a 197m skyscraper is a testament to just how far the construction industry has come.

Let’s just hope that for the Millennium Tower, the third time’s the charm.

Note from Zennie62Media and OaklandNewsNow.com: This video blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media, Inc. network for video blogging systems for mobile media that was launched in June 2018 by Zennie62Media, Inc .s new and innovative approach to news media production. What we call “The Third Wave of Media”. The uploaded video is from a YouTube channel. When the YouTube video channel for WGN News Chicago uploads a video, it is automatically uploaded to the Oakland News Now site and Zennie62’s own social media pages and formatted automatically. The overall goal here is, in addition to our smartphone-enabled real-time reporting of news, interviews, observations and events anywhere in the world and within seconds, not hours – the use of the existing YouTube social graphic on any topic in the world. Now messages are reported with the smartphone and also by advertising current content on YouTube: There is no need for heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop or a camera team to film what is already on YouTube. The secondary goal is faster and very inexpensive production and distribution of media content. We have found that there is a discrepancy between post length and time to product and revenue generated. This means that the problem is much smaller, but by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system’s network encoding and is looking for interested content and media technology partners.
