A construction veteran reacts to Nogie's precast explanation. His experiences include building the world's tallest structure in Taipei and the world's best airport in Singapore, which incidentally inaugurated its Terminal 3 the other day.
Here is his email (address omitted)
Hi Pete,
I have been in the construction work overseas for the past 17 years. I'm not an expert in Pre Cast construction but, hell I've seen all the secrets of German, French and Japanese construction Technology. I have been involve with Changi T3 airport, Taipei 101, and another 9 blocks of 30 storey condo projects.
If what Mr. Nograles saying is true then there should a fixed structure in the ends of precast structure. He can also bring the media to the pre cast plants to show the pre fab casting.
It is going to be very expensive to cast the bridge off site then bring to site specially if the casting plant is in Manila. The equipment and machines for precasting are more easier to bring into Davao.
I think this is going to be another "Davao Airport money Cow" on the making.
Best Regards,
Leonardo

Hey Leonardo,
Right on with that, another Davao airport cash cow! How we could possibly buy the line from Cong. Nograles that things are getting pre-fabricated in Manila, is beyond me. It was sometime in December when the contractor already said he could not berth his barge because the river is too shallow. How are the pre-fab thingees supposed to get up-river, on the backs of 20,000,000 turtles?
There are valid reasons for the delay. So far, all that have printed and discussed are excuses. They do not constiture valid reasons.
