When is the next AGM? Sounds like a potentially dysfunctional board. Ideas I would pursue:
1) Self nominate for the board at the next AGM, get on and get them to send you all the e-mail threads and engineering reports so you can review personally.
2) Figure out who all the board members are and go to each one personally to talk to them about this assessment. Remember they only need a majority vote to pass something like this so in your case there could be 5 board members and only 3 are in agreement with this path forward. It would be good to figure out how many of the board members are in support of this plan and if there is some that are on the fence maybe you can dig into it with them a little more.
I'm currently on two condo boards and I can tell you some times there is a rift and disagreement between members on there with regards to capital spend. Keep in mind these are volunteers from all walks of life so some people are more concerned with making things looks pretty than the bottom line and what increases housing value and not.
Good luck!
