No-one hurt as steel trusses come down.
Sixteen connected steel trusses at Roberts Stadium were expected to come down one-by-one today, but instead, the structure collapsed at once, City-County Building Authority Director David Rector said.
No one was hurt at the demolition site. Klenck Co. of Evansville is the demolition project’s lead contractor.
Rector said workers were torching through each of the 16 beams one-by-one, and the mishap occurred on about the sixth beam.
He said that although the process today did not go as planned, the cost and schedule of the demolition project is unchanged.
