You see the Stephen Christian lads out there in all weathers working. It's the DOI wallahs that seem to be the issue. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, plenty. Holding clipboards, pointing fingers, generally looking officious, and taking great efforts not to get their boots or hi-viz dirty. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wouldn't need them would you . DOI are superfluous to requirements and are just delaying and complicating the job . Oh in time costing the tax payers loads . Imbeciles!!

Your optimistic aren't you !! Will we ever hear ? It has to be costing much more already as the extras to Tram lines alone will account to big money . I've heard that 66% of contigency fund is gone already so not looking hopeful to being anywhere close to budget .

Even if it's years later like the MEA loans debacle. As you say the contingency fund is apparently pretty much gone, the massive time overrun won't see workers working for free, so that's going to cost too. I noticed as well it looks like some of the cracks have progressed/joined up and it looks like the road is starting to break up? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I'm sure they will ,they have to tbh as once water gets in no way back as it freezes then starts to break it up. 372 cracks minimum over just 350meters only . Its going to have to be done again I'm sure . Clearly they won't want to do it anytime soon and risk the wrath of the public but thinking they won't have that option . Who pays ??

I take it you know everyone in the department personally and know their competence levels and consiencousness, you also know everything about highway engineering and special events? You truly are awesome, we, here on MF are in the presence of greatness, we are not worthy oh great one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
