Guess we just disagree. The sole purpose of ABC is to save time. In construction time is $$. Shortcuts are often taken during construction especially if they think its safe to do so. IMO The lack of the span being fully supported combined with the crack (and whatever else they may find) made...

I'm the one that mentioned that the bridge seemed to have been put up "out of sequence" And that ( see the bold and underlined above^^^) is exactly what I was referring to. The main span is usually put up after the bridge supports are in place in order to be able to support its full weight. (...

Now its being reported that someone ( an engineer) noticed and reported a crack in the bridge but didn't think it was a safety issue. I'm sure that this story will have many new twists and turns before the investigation is completed.

No Engineers usually design the bridge. The GC installs the bridge. Engineers can also inspect the construction. Only IF one company did both the design and the installation of this project would they be fully responsible. As I said the order of installation appears to be out of sequence...I...

Seems that all the conjecture and assignment of blame here has missed the mark It appears that the bridge was designed to be a suspension bridge looking at the design pics For some reason this bridge seemed to be installed out of sequence.... Normally you put in the suspension tower(s) in 1st...

We only know who "MIGHT/MAY" be at fault or have some fault, because they were involved It may be one, some or all ......but we're arguing semantics. I think I know what you're trying to point out and I was just messing with you So whatever...we both agree that there needs to be a full...

???YEP .......now that really ties down who's responsible. No need to waste time investigating this any further.....case solved!!! Gimme the next case Chief!!! :hh9beelfgeoezuwg.jpg:LOL Just messing with you man

Ease up GC05 I see the point you're trying to make You forget that I've been in this business for over 20 years too. So I also know how it works. The GC does NOT do any designs, he is totally responsible for the construction site and for installing ALL of the different components as...

Certainly a tragedy!! Don't know why it happened and that's what the investigation is for. Much to early to point fingers in ANY direction. Could be many things from the engineering design, materials used, poor construction, lack of inspection, or a combination of factors etc etc. Anyone...
