Project is still under construction. The collapse is a result of an accident from a crane driver. Bad news travels so fast.

People always rush to comment, they didnt eveb watch the video to the end. The camera guy explained that the "escavator" hit the bridge .

I don't know why Nigerians are always impatient . Watch the video to the end and see.

Factor of safety for project that's still under construction? Do you know what Factor of Safety even mean?

Or you think with factor of safety, a bridge is 100% safe from external impact. Una go just dey type rubbish
Please oga tell me I no no, since it is not a structural failure what is it? And Did I say a bridge is 100 percent resistant from impact loads.
You can’t bring your own ideals rather than to criticize anyhow.

Mr project and his substandard death trap projects.

Sadly, he borrowed N25 Billion to build this and other death traps.


Don't blame Wike here, that flyover was constructed during Amaechi's tenure.

PRESS STATEMENT

Our attention has been drawn to a misleading narrative concerning the incident that occured at the Rumukrushi (Tank) Flyover project site yesterday, Saturday, 6 August, 2022.

What happened yesterday was not an issue of structural failure but was entirely an accident caused by some careless heavy equipment operators .

Routine construction works were going on the site when an excavator horizontally collided with an already launched beam while trying to assist a tipper that got stuck in the mud due to the kind of soil peculiar to a typical construction site. The beam moved out of place and made impact on other beams.

The erroneous narrative being propagated by mischief-makers is with the sole aim of causing unnecessary panic amongst unsuspecting members of the public.

The good people of Rivers State should disregard it in its entirety because there is no cause for alarm whatsoever. The structural integrity of the 10th flyover is not in dispute in anyway. What happened was an avoidable incident caused by two careless equipment operators.

To the glory of God there was no casualty. The management of Julius Berger has been swiftly notified by the Honourable Commissioner for Works; the beams will be removed and new ones will be relaunched. There is no need for panic as the situation is fully under control.

but when it comes to Buhari you will tell us the problem is the president.
How do you expect the contractor to do a good work when wike collect 70% of of the money as kick-back?
Go and check my posts, I don't belong in that category of people, I address issues as they are. More so, I am a Buhari fans but that won't stop me from saying the truth if a PDP governor is doing well. I am a constructive critics not destructive.

This project will become an abandoned one.

It they must continue, they have to remove all the beams and cast new ones.

Is River state ministry of works performing their supervisory roles diligently or they just fold their hands watching Julius Berger to give them what they like?? The reinforcement used and concrete mix have to be closely monitored.

brandsoncharlie:

What happens to factor of safety for impact loads?
It is clearly a structural failure because the structural members couldn’t do it job and it is a poor design and shoddy construction work.
I disagree sir, if you watch the video, you'll realise that, the girders are not standing vertically on the pier cap as supposed, but sideways. I can only assume that, the girders were initially placed properly(standing vertically) and the last girder to be placed on the pier cap made contact with the preceding girder. This contact or impact must have made it to fall sideways, with the ripple effect causing every other girder to fall. These kinds of accidents occur on sites, it's not new. It has nothing to do with the design, they'll replace all of the affected girders and work continues.

The girders are precast, hence they will be replaced.
