  • Dear Sir, with Vast Network of Deep & Wide Perennial Rivers, Cities Situated
    Dear Sir, With vast network of deep & wide perennial rivers, cities situated on river banks & densely populated masses; construction of bridge infrastructure is the need of the hour. But on the front of design & durability, it can be gauged by the fact that bridges in India are designed to withstand 50 floods whereas it is 150 in the developed countries. In India, the aging period of bridges is 30 to 40 years. But there are prominent bridges more than 100 years old and had been constructed during the British era. As the bridges and the expressways they span keep rising, construction has become an end unto itself. Fueled by government-backed loans and urged on by the big construction companies and officials who profit from them, many of the projects are piling up debt and breeding corruption while producing questionable transportation benefits. As a developing nation, rapid development of transport infrastructure is happening in India like some other developing countries. The eye-popping structures have slashed travel times in some areas, made business easier and generated a sizable slice of the country’s economy, laying a foundation, in theory at least, for decades of future growth. But as an Engineer my concern is about development/ construction of robust & durable transport infrastructures .The shortsightedness of development policies are gnawing at the foundations of bridges in the country. Selection of construction agencies is more of the client’s requirement but where its implementation is concerned, where supervision & quality assurance is concerned, our role is important and crucial one. There are innumerable shortcomings on supervision & quality assurance’s fronts but one that relates to the selections & policy frameworks & which from my core of my heart I want that Authorities should act on it as follows: One of the factors for poor inspection standards is the age of Supervision Engineer.
