Harris County commissioners voted Tuesday to demolish and rebuild parts of the under-construction Beltway 8 bridge over the Houston Ship Channel after the original designs were found to have "significant" flaws. Uh, I think it might have been a good idea to review the designs before construction.

It would be interesting to learn the date of the COW1 review of the FIGG contract; how long after the Florida collapse investigation.
And the date of the COW1 Report structural anaysis.
There’s been a whole lot of back room activity going on to wash some folks hands. Somebody, an engineer for sure, reviewed the FIGG contract proposal and signed off on it. Who dat?

Get used to this. When you look at the leaning tower of San Francisco, the collapsed pedestrian bridge in Florida, as well others, there are consequences to not paying for talent.

Go figure.

You just have to know that the other bidders would have pointed out flaws in the design. Who issued the permit?

The same design firm was hired to build the new harbor bridge in Corpus Christi, and after the Florida bridge collapse they were fired and their design was thrown in the trash can.
TXDOT managed to turn a 3 year project into 7-plus years. Construction on the towers just re-started after a 2 year delay. Figg better hire good bankruptcy lawyers.
