It will never end. The key to a strong building is a firm foundation. This was a dump and a bog. The two are well known for not being stable. When things go wrong the clowns responsible will deny a problem or be long gone. What a waste this thing is. This will be the symbol of the Tilghman administration for the next fifty years.
You are right, concrete does crack. Look at the expansion joint right next to the 55' long crack. That is where the crack is supposed to take place, in the expansion joint, DUH!
Dumb ASS. Any bets this is one of the three stooges from the fire department.
Actually no, im someone who works for a concrete company. Although expansion joist are nothing but a pretty crack, on large poors like such it is very common to get cracks like this. It can start out at 6inches and virtually never stop. Unless they care enough to take certian actions for the concrete to regain its strength within the crack, which would prevent it from expanding even further.
Anon 8:02 p.m., I work in the concrete busisness and have done so for almost 30 years so I know what I am talking about. Don't feed me that crap about cracks. They are supposed to be in the expansion joints not six inches away. I still think this is one of the three stooges.
Would like to see the foundation/framing plans. The crack seems to be following the outside edge of a footing, grade beam or beam. This would indicate settling of a footing or excessive deflection in a beam. Sure hope this is the ground floor! If not it may be soon.

It will end when the station falls into the Abyss of a hole. That is why the City paid McDonalds to move TWICE>>>

Not only that if we EVER have a major flood that new fire station will be under water. That should make that foundation interesting. Dumb F's
