The joint venture building a replacement for the Tappan Zee Bridge filed a lawsuit on Jan. 7 in federal court in New York against the supplier of a floating concrete batch plant that collapsed unexpectedly in December 2014.
The lawsuit alleges that the manufacturer of the batch plant, Maxon Industries Inc., supplied storage silos that were structurally deficient. The suit also names manufacturer X-Tec Swiss AG, which supplied some of the designs and components for the batch plant’s silos.
