Executives representing the company employed to test concrete strength at Yankee Stadium and other New York construction projects were indicted Wednesday in Manhattan Supreme Court for allegedly submitting fabricated testing results.
As reported by the New York Daily News, the indictment states that officials of American Standard Testing and Consulting Laboratories Inc. "regularly skipped vital safety tests and created false reports to create the impression that the tests were performed." The indictment describes faked field tests and strength analysis involving the breaking of concrete cylinders at various stages of the curing process. It did not state whether the structural integrity of Yankee Stadium or any of the other buildings was compromised.
