Engineers present at the sight of the Manohan building.

A survey team from Lands and Mineral Resources Department will continue their survey today regarding the tremors which were felt by the Water Authority of Fiji staff at Manohan building on Wednesday.

Permanent Secretary Malakai Finau says they had carried out some surveys yesterday.

Finau stresses that the tremors were not caused by the earthquake.

The Manohan Building Chief Engineer and the Mineral Resources Department will release their final report tomorrow.

Meanwhile, Fijivillage received information that the shake was caused by a road roller.

According to an eyewitness from the same area, they felt the vibrations as the road roller was passing their building.

Finau says the vibration from the road roller could have caused the tremor but they will continue with further tests to confirm whether the structure of the building is still able to withstand earthquake movement.

400 employees working at the Water Authority of Fiji in Nasinu were sent home on Wednesday.

They are expected to return to work tomorrow.
