Arup and the contracting team on the Jorge M. Perez Art Museum in Miami have exchanged nasty lawsuits over a disputed bolted building canopy connection, the failure of which both sides say caused heavy erected concrete canopy beams to fall in November, 2012. The accident could have badly injured or killed workers but no one was hurt. Expensive repairs were needed.
The lawsuit involves Arup USA, the New York City-based unit of the big London-based engineer.
