Multiple groups, including the city, gas company, and fire marshal's office still have to examine the scene. 

A structural engineer first surveyed the scene to determine what sections can be accessed for further investigation. 

It's believed that contractors and subcontractors failed to notify the Pennsylvania One-Call system. 

Under state law, anyone digging with powered equipment is required to notify the one-call system.
