Highest Elevated Bridge

The Highest Elevated Bridge..


Why can't Malaysia being inspired to learn from this human creation? Such simple Flyover MRR2 also failed to manage it and being repaired and repaired for numerous time.

Too sad that the safety of this Flyover is still unknown.

MRR2 Bridge Crack and Concrete Failure II

Boom lift is used to inspect the structure condition of MRR2 flyover.

Pretty serious peeling of concrete structure. Those persons (in photo), are the qualified inspector (with engineering ground)? Else don't tell us there is still safe to use.
Safety netting is installed to prevent the falling of concrete clump. Is it still have a potential of further peeling of concrete?
If acclaimed that there is extra carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) panel being installed, but the concrete failure is still happening. It implies that the original structure work (repair) under designed.
Engineer will push to contractor poor workmanship. Contractor will push to the Engineer as design error. At the end, who shall responsible on this matter?
Who is the loser? Tax Payer.

Who is the winner? Engineer, contractor and other unknown person who make multi thousand of buck in this contract (original contract and repair work).
Then the latest repair work shall go to which party is still made unknown.
There is poor rewarding and penalty system in Government department.
Where is the meritocracy system? Who fail to perform shall not hold on to his position and the board of department shall judge to his performance and reward / penalize him accordingly.

No proper Frame Work in the system is the failure of MIP (Man In Parliament)

MRR2 Bridge Crack and Concrete Failure

The below statement quoted from The Star (www.thestar.com.my) on 2008-08-03,

"Works Minister Datuk Mohd Zin Mohamed said that three of the 18 carbon fibre panels on Pillar 28 had peeled off at about 9am on Sunday, causing some clumps of concrete to fall. The structure was safe, he however claimed."


MRR2 Flyover

Seriously, I was astonished on the above statement which came from a country (Malaysia) Work Minister. Base on what ground the statement is being made, base on his personal layman point of view? Technical Point of view? Don't give wrong statement if there is no ground for it. Don't treat all Engineers in the Country are dumb. Please don't repeat those "standard" statements from our previous "honorable" work minister as to secure the political position.


A clumps of concrete fell to the road

See the photo above and you called this is SAFE. What is the meaning of safe when this clump of concrete fall on your head or car?

Close the highway immediately if there is a possibility to endanger to the public. Even the possibility is as low as 1 %. The strict instruction to close the highway must be commanded without further delay. Life is precious and irreplaceable.

Are you going to wait and tell the Public that the structure is UNSAFE when the entire bridge is collapsed? Those claimed that the structure is safe, please take your blanket to sleep under the bridge to prove me your statement.

My advise, Don't use it now!! Take big round and skip that bridge if you care about your life and your family.

Hey hey.. Don't try to be smart by driving underneath the bridge as an alternative route to skip the danger. It is darn stupid act. If the bridge collapse, you are going to bury alive.

Take Note if you care about your life.
