“We’re pushing as hard as everyone else for information on what’s happened, and for speedy rectification,” the company’s director Bassam Aflak said in a statement on Friday.
Engineering firm WSP, one of the investigators being employed by Icon, said the building was structurally sound but residents needed to leave to allow engineers to assess and remediate the site in the quickest time possible.
The damaged section of the building on Level 10 has been reinforced as a precautionary measure, WSP said in a statement to residents on Thursday.
Julian Doyle, the NSW director of building company Icon, said the apartment tower was not at risk of collapsing, but the fastest way for the issue to be dealt with was to remove all residents.
“I think ultimately the building will be as it was designed to be,” he said on Thursday.
An angry resident confronted Mr Doyle during his Thursday press conference at the base of the tower, demanding better temporary accommodation and a clearer timeline of when they would be allowed back home.
Mr Doyle could not guarantee residents would be able to move back in after 10 days.
