Manufacturer’s technical officer says ‘fundamental errors’ made by Osborne Berry
The Grenfell Inquiry has heard more details of how cavity barriers were either installed incorrectly or not installed at all during the ill-fated refurbishment of the west London tower.
Christopher Mort, technical officer for fire at Siderise, the firm which manufactured the cavity barriers used for the refurbishment, was asked to inspect the barriers which were still on the tower a year after the fire in July 2018.
Christopher Mort giving evidence to Tuesday’s hearing
He told Tuesday’s hearing that the work carried out by subcontractor Osborne Berry was “probably of the poorest standard I’ve ever seen”.
