G+_George Kozi Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 This ain't about mobile phones, or computers, but it is about technology, and how things should work. It's about coordination, planning, and logistics. It's about how to get things done.

G+_Joshua “Wizdum” Burgess Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 That project would take at least 6 years in the USA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Stephen Waszkiewicz Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Those in charge have to keep the money flowing though contracts to all their friends and relatives.? That's why so long in the USA. Also, we build things the cheapest way not the smartest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Joshua “Wizdum” Burgess Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Claude Marcotte Ahh, as an American that makes me feel a little better. We're not uniquely shitty, apparently. We did wait for several bridges to collapse before we decided we should probably start maintaining them though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Claude Marcotte Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 We have overpasses that keep collapsing, some just after they've been constructed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_todd zimmerman Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 I wonder how they established the footing for the rollers to take an account for potential ground compression. I'm assuming there must of been a considerable allowance for alignment to be skewed. Pretty impressive considering that the crews had to deal with bad weather too.
