So sad to see somebody cheaped out on construction and materials.
In my defence, this guy was one of the city staffers who monitored TransEd's progress, so if anyone knew it'd be himI heard from someone, who knows someone, who knows someone, that they put the rebar in upside down!
If you watch the videos transed put out they needed to add more rebar in the “hip” area. Hence the post tensioned belt that remains there today. My guess is that there won’t ever be a “permanent” fix. Oh wellI heard the opposite from someone who was a higher up with the city at the time—they actually put in too much rebar.
No it was missed components. During a shop drawing review there was some notation that everyone failed to respond to. When I was at another Eng firm the structural leads were involved with a review post issue. I believe there is a report circulating somewhere.I heard the opposite from someone who was a higher up with the city at the time—they actually put in too much rebar.
Huh, interesting. I wonder why he thought that then. Thanks for the correction. If you ever come across that report, I'd love to see it and learn more.No it was missed components.

its almost like our police continue not to care about dt.Another day, another unsafe, uninviting and disgraceful experience with our new very expensive infrastructure looking horrendous. 2/3 shelters had open drug use, garbage everywhere, totally unkept and overall an unacceptable look/feel with no officers anywhere in sight.

The rusting is insane!! It's at every station except for Davies (covered). Hopefully Marigold doesn't use the same method for ice prevention on their section. Here's some pics at the Churchill station that I took earlier today.TransEd and/ or TransEd's contractor Valley Landscaping use a brine solution for ice prevention and ice removal on platforms. Ultimately it will be TransEd's problem if they have rusting issues because their contractor is squirting brine around.
