That Canadian bridge ?
Ever wonder how things get done when mob get the contract ?
Now you do.
Quebec's bridge isn't one of Canada's most important crossing anymore. Trains and trucks don't go through anymore. The bridge isn't able to hold that much weight anymore and it shows by just how much work they have to do on it. Just to keep it safe for cars.
Half true ... Trucks don't go on the bridge, but buses do ... and trains still use the bridge
@@TransitQuebec You are right, thank you for the clarification. Buses are not even as close to be as heavy as trucks though, so it fine. I'm still surprised that trains are even going through there.
The main bridge (beside ) is 50 years old but they just planned to add weight to Quebec bridge(paint it) yay! We will have a beautiful unsafe stucture.
The sad thing about the Québec bridge is that despite its historical significance, its been poorly maintained for several decades. It hasn't been repainted anywhere near enough to stop corrosion, so its going to end up reaching the end of its life long before it should have.
It's Quebec.
@@jcjko5504 The bridge was owned by CN until yesterday. The government finally got its hands on it. By any kind of standards, Canadian railroads are essentially slumlords. They are running the infrastructure that they own into the ground, investing as little as they can and giving as much of the profits as they can to their shareholders.
Check out The Forth Bridge Scotland built 1890 still standing, still used by trains.
John Andrews the Mgr for the Forth bridge restoration contract; suggested to me and a group of people, that first a proper technical and financial audit be completed, before any restoration work be done . Now they are talking close to about 2 billion C$ .
I wonder if pins should have been put through across the glued joints. We have always been taught glue and screw.
As a long experienced engineer and life long neighbour of this bridge plus a15 years of in situ photographic and technical inquiry and reading all reports that were made public:the same 3 causes for the 3 catastrophes ( the 3rd one is well in progress. A- The gross ignorance about structural instability of complex structures by engineers B-the hubris of administrators and engineers that did not exert proper technical control and C-- the profits placed above the safety of users and workers. The whole structure is once again systematically buckling., Inter-rivets on critical members and the four pots twisted main chord, major cracks on north-west main post beyond repairs. There is since its privatization in 1995 a total omertà on inspections and engineering studies. Rust is not the cause but a major increase of the metal ore bulk trains after a faulty 3D SAP-90 mathematical modellisation.
. The government is now in the process of a blind buyback, in some way, like it was done for the Trans-Mountain Pipeline.
On utilise jamais de carrelets aboutés, mais du lamellé collé pour faire de si grosses charpente...
That is the reason the engeneers wear a metal ring on their last finger. It is done to remind them to make certain of their work before signing them
It is important to highlight that the failure (x2) of the Quebec bridge was a catalyst in the formation of the Professional Engineering Governing Institutions in Canada. I understand that as a result of the clearly demonstrated need for improved Engineering in Canada. The Engineering Institute of Canada contracted with Rudyard Kipling in 1922 to create a Mythology and rituals to govern and provide spiritual guidance to the profession. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ritual_of_the_Calling_of_an_Engineer
Myth more so than the Titanic its contemporary, since the same 3 causes are responsible for the 3 catastrophes.
You make it sound like it happened 4 days ago, when ,in reality, happened years ago. Clarify the time difference in you/ of your postings and actual events...Simplify life...
Is not made by im it’s a documentary 🙄
