Crews have begun to repair a Rapid City, South Dakota, mixed-use project that made news for its tilting elevator shaft after a shim failed between the foundation and precast, Construction Dive reports. On November 30, workers noticed the northside elevator shaft for the 10-story mixed-use project was tilting to the south so work was stopped and nearby buildings were evacuated until the next day. The elevator tower was then dismantled, and the foundation was re-poured with plans for construction to begin again soon, according to officials. Sioux Falls, South Dakota-based developer Lloyd Cos.’ construction division, Lloyd Construction, broke ground on the project in June.
