The engineering company for the ill-fated Fort Saskatchewan condominium complex had its engineering permit cancelled just one year after the recently evacuated condos were built.

Residents of the 44-unit condo complex were evacuated from their homes on Aug. 2 after the city officials deemed it “structurally unsafe” when it was determined the floor joists could fail.

In a news release Wednesday, the Association of Professional Engineers and Geosciences of Alberta said upon hearing of the evacuation, the APEGA contacted the Fort Saskatchewan’s safety codes officer and its director of protective services.

The association confirmed with the city that the engineering firm and professional engineer on record for the structural design of the four-storey building at 9930 100 Ave. were Jacobsen Hage Engineering and Sven Hage.

The APEGA said in December 2004, one year after the evacuated condo complex was built, the association cancelled the engineering permit for the firm. The company was no longer allowed to do any engineering work in Alberta.
