Risk Management on the Roads of Boston - Workers Comp Insider
Now let's imagine that you are hanging three ton ceiling tiles - hundreds of them - from the roof of a tunnel. Would you assume that you could support the tiles with bolts screwed vertically into the concrete ceiling and backed up by some epoxy glue? We're talking the force of gravity here, with a significant weight pulling down. No engineer in his or her right mind would recommend such a solution, right? Well, you've obviously never been an engineer on Boston's notorious Big Dig, the most expensive highway project in history: $15 billion and counting. All that money spent and already part of the recently completed project has collapsed.------------------------------------------- posted 8:10 AM :: reference link ::
