This assessment identified the presence of chloride in the concrete used in the Godrej Summit project, which in contact with water, leads to corrosion of steel reinforcement, the company said.
Tower H was the fifth and the latest building to be declared unsafe at the society, where a vertical cave-in at tower D killed two women in February 2022.
So far, towers D, E, F and G have been declared unsafe by the institute and the district administration issued orders under the Disaster Management Act, 2005 to evacuate residents. Owners have been offered a refund.
The first offer — to compensate the homebuyers of towers D, E and F by paying them Rs 6,500/sqft and refunding the stamp duty along with the cost of interiors renovated — still stands, Chintels India said.
