| Bilfinger Berger announces results of internal investigation German construction firm Bilfinger Berger has taken the irregularities in the construction of the Cologne urban rail line as an opportunity to examine preparatory works carried out to date at the Wehrhahn Line subway project in Düsseldorf. In the course of this initiative, indications were found that a small number of diaphragm wall protocols were improperly prepared. In six of the 500 diaphragm wall slats it could not be confirmed beyond any doubt that the shear dowels used to connect the reinforcements cages were installed in the volumes prescribed. Construction of the slats was the responsibility of employees who have already been relieved of their duties as a result of incidents at the urban rail line site in Cologne. The status of the project in Düsseldorf cannot be compared to Cologne. Because the project is in its early stages, additional strengthening measures can, if required, be implemented as the excavation progresses. The structural stability is fully guaranteed at all times. write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Construction News :: home page |
