Naira Bulghadaryan, the “Azatutyun” Radio Station
At 3 Northern Avenue the floor of a tall elite building has been damaged for the second time, the floor is cracked, the stairs leading to the shops on the first floor are damaged.
“Horizon” Construction Company has conducted the civil works. Company Vice Director Aida Khachatryan told the “Azatutyun” Radio Station the damages have emerged because of weak ground and assured that the problem will be solved after builders’ intervention.
Ruben Yadoyan, PhD in Geological Sciences, said in his interview with the “Azatutyun” Radio Station it’s impermissible to construct tall buildings in the city center, as the waters flowing here take 500-600 kg ground per second.
“It’s rather shaky under our city center…Our GetarRiver has overflows several times and changed its bed from Abovyan to Ghukasyan streets.” According to Yadoyan, still in the Soviet period the specialists warned not to construct tall and heavy buildings in the city centre and not to touch the tuff layer. He insists the tuff layer is completely removed.
Company Vice Director said Yadoyan’s assertions don’t comply with reality.
