“Rust-colored stains have marred Texas' tallest building in Austin. Here's why.”
Is this normal?
“The discoloration is overflow from the building’s standpipe system and expected to be cleaned soon.”
“Johnston said the Austin Fire Department is conducting flow tests of the pipes and the discoloration is the result of grime that built up during of construction, which began in 2022.”
Is it normal to have overflow from a standpipe when building out the system? and is it normal to have that overflow come out of a drain 20 stories up?
