These corporate changes saw the workforce at Dominion Bridge Company's operations in Amherst undergo major changes following the dissolution of Robb Engineering. Robb Engineering gained notoriety during the 1990s after being blamed as the maker of faulty 'open web steel' [[joist]]s. Poor welds weakened the joists. In some cases the roof joists have experienced catastrophic failure, resulting in at least 1 roof collapse.<ref> {{cite web | title = Roof cave-ins blamed on joists, Atlantic Canada | url= http://www.cbc.ca/news/story/2000/12/15/mall_collapse001215.html | accessdate = 2008-04-04 }} </ref> With the collapse of 3 joists in 3 separate buildings confirmed, an inspection of all governmental structures was conducted in [[Eastern Canada|eastern Canada]] surveying how many of Robb Engineering's joists were being used.<ref> {{cite web | title = News Release from Government of Newfoundland and Labrador | url= http://www.releases.gov.nl.ca/releases/1997/wst/0310n02.htm | accessdate = 2008-04-04 }}</ref> Inspections costing into the millions of dollars, found that several thousand government buildings, in several provinces across eastern Canada, were involved.<ref> {{cite web | title = News Release from Government of Newfoundland and Labrador| url= http://www.releases.gov.nl.ca/releases/1997/wst/0219n03.htm | accessdate = 2008-04-04 }}</ref> <ref>{{cite web | title = Province to Conduct Remediation Program Over Christmas | url= http://www.gov.ns.ca/news/details.asp?id=20001221005 | accessdate = 2008-04-04 }}</ref> An unknown number of private buildings could also be involved, however no statistical information was recorded reflecting this data.
