Use the road bridge to avoid danger - perhaps NOT in "hanging wire" Thailand

The telecoms companies don't give a shit, the electric company doesn't give a shit, the builder doesn't give a shit, the person who signed off the project doesn't give a shit.

Seems to me there's a pattern.

Doesn't bother any Merc drivers either.

Talking to a local friend who is in construction and has had to deal with similar issues, he gae me his point of view. He believes, at least in the times he has seen similar, is that bridge builder has a contract to build a bridge. Telecoms or Electricity board have their contract to fix wiring.

 

When the time comes for completion date and the wires have not been removed, builder must begin project because phone call to telecoms or electricity board got them no where and:

1. He and his staff will not get income with no work. Time is money.

2. Builder will face fines / damages for completing the project late if they wait for the cabling to finally be moved.

3. If they wait, they will also have problems with the commencement date of the following project if they have one.

 

It is all ridiculous but if you are getting paid to do a job, don't get paid if you don't do it and get fined if it is not completed on time, it is not hard to see how this sort of thing comes about. And we must remember, some builders in this country are illiterate or semi illiterate so what hope do some of them have in negotiating with all the other parties involved?

 

These things are very easy to sort out early. The bridge is tendered out by govenrment I would assume. There needs to be a single mage standard contract with commencement dates of making good cabling, clearing of the site, commencement date, completion date. It is project managed and signed off by government. Someone misses a deadline all dates slide back, if the team that miss the deadline don't have a valid reason such as weather or similar, penalties are awarded.
