Controls.. there has to be Controls.. Having worked on building going up in that town, I've seen a clerk take samples from every concrete truck and pour them in a pipe and number them , and do slump test also . Then they lock all the pipe samples up in a gang box. Alot of times problems are created.. Heard egg heads changed bolt layout (placement).. Guess what ,there's re bar in that concrete every wich way and figured ahead of time for hangers . Its all speculation and finger pointing until the truth comes out . I do rehab now and wish I had a nickel for everytime I heard "Make it work".. No problem since my work is mainly cosmetic and ain't going to kill someone. The blame game..This "make it work mentality" has to go . "Make it work" is a good way to duck decision making responsibilty that may come back on you later. I know the game .. Not saying this happened there , I wasn't involved . Just seems to be the trend in construction . How about the hell with profit margine,, the hell with dead lines ."This has to be done right " Plus major construction company involved has a history of grossly underbidding work . What pressure do you think that creates .
