Probe of Bad Welds Adds to Span’s Woes By J.T. Long, Engineering News-Record
Footing Probe. Investigation has stopped work on last four foundations for new Bay Bridge's east span. Twenty-four of 28 are complete.
By next month, a Kiewit Pacific Co.-led joint venture building the $6.2-billion east span of the Oakland-San Francisco Bay Bridge will know whether an FBI investigation substantiates union allegations of a coverup of faulty welds on the structure. At least 15 current and former members of Pile Drivers’Local 34 have complained that up to one-third of 5,000 welds on the bridge’s skyway footings are defective. Authorities say Kiewit and its two joint venture partners could face fraud charges. Company executives claim the allegations "are without merit," and there are indications they may be related to labor disputes on the job.------------------------------------------- posted 11:18 AM :: reference link ::
