Contractor’s carelessness blamed for collapse of bridge at Trat PAO

 

 

Local government authorities have blamed the contractor for the collapse of a bridge linking two buidings in the compound of Trat Provincial Administration Organization that injured 15 workers on Thursday (March 15).

 

Authorities from relevant local government agencies held a meeting on Friday to assess the damage of the 5-metre wide and  215-metre long bridge which linked  the One Tambon One Product (OTOP) exhibition centre with the auditorium at Trat PAO in Muang district.

 

After almost two hours of meeting, they concluded that the collapse was caused by the carelessness of the contractor.

And what of building inspector who signed off on this job? Or did they not have one? Perhaps just asked contractor "Is that bridge safe?" and left it at that...

I don't think they just "leave it at that". There would be another step in the process.....the hand would reach out for the envelope.

With the bridge collapse in Miami I wouldn't claim it exclusively for Thais.

And that, no doubt, will be that.
