At 2 a.m. on May 1, the road surface of the Meida Expressway in Guangdong Province collapsed, killing 48 people and injuring 30 others. I thought I was going out for the holidays, but I didn't expect to go to a point of no return.
As an engineer, I felt heavy when I saw the news, and I believe there are many people like me. This accident must also affect the hearts of the majority of engineering people, so I am very worried about this May Day, and I continue to pay attention to this matter.
At the moment of the sudden disaster, some people knelt down to stop the car at the risk of death, some people blocked the road, and some people went down to the pit to save people in flames. The flesh and blood body is also in the water and fire, and the ordinary body is also a god. It's not that they are really not afraid, but the kindness and responsibility in their bones make them choose to stand up and have no hesitation! They are ordinary heroes.
Previously, the public account published "48 deaths, a particularly major accident!" The scene is tragic! What is the underlying cause behind the accident? What does it tell us? 》The discussion in the message area was intense.
But the various voices that follow are, are Party A, design, geological survey, construction, supervision, highway operation and other units and relevant responsible persons responsible? Are they going to step on the sewing machine?
This depends on the circumstances and is subject to official investigations. So today's tweet is aimed at this problem and makes a brick-throwing. This article does not talk about technology, and if you understand technology, please leave a message in the comment area.
As an engineer who has been engaged in engineering for 15 years and a veteran driver for 14 years, I have roughly calculated that I have run nearly 30,000 kilometers on the highway. I would like to talk about this "disaster" from the perspective of an engineer.
Perhaps the discerning person has already seen that it is time to characterize the landslide as a "disaster", is it a natural disaster? Then someone asked: Is it all right? No, the current qualitative nature does not affect the later settlement of accounts after the autumn, and none of the responsibilities that should be pursued can be escaped.
According to a CCTV News report on May 4, Meida Expressway has set up an investigation and evaluation team and is currently investigating and assessing.
It is understood that on April 1 last year, Meilong Expressway collapsed due to heavy rain, and the on-site survey found that the geological complex slope was unstable, which has seriously affected the safety of driving, and Guangdong Jingshi has also reported. Obviously, there were early signs of the May Day high-speed collapse accident. These people are all lucky, thinking that it will be fine.
But in the face of natural disasters such as typhoons, heavy rains, and earthquakes, everything is so weak. Moreover, heavy rainfall is defined as force majeure. Don't think that man will conquer the sky, and not all people are omnipotent.
Someone in the message area asked, which is the construction unit, the design unit, the survey unit, the supervision unit, the construction unit and other units?
According to the information queried by Mr. Yan on the website of Guangzhou Public Resources Trading Center, as well as the bidding information of relevant units, the tendering unit and the bidding agency are Guangdong Road and Bridge Construction and Development Co., Ltd., that is, the construction unit.
This company is more awesome, established in 94, with a registered capital of 9.1 billion, mainly engaged in the investment of roads, bridges and their supporting facilities, etc., the industry has gone through more than 30 years of rapid development, has long been the industry's best and the industry's leader. The reason why we can undertake so many expressway businesses is that the background is not ordinary.
1. Henan Road and Bridge Construction Group, Meida Expressway, civil construction bidding (2 bids for subgrade bridge and culvert engineering)
2. China State Construction Engineering Co., Ltd., Meida Expressway, civil construction bidding (7 bids for subgrade, bridge and culvert engineering)
3. China Railway 11th Bureau Group Co., Ltd., Meida Expressway Civil Construction Bidding (9 bids for subgrade bridge and culvert engineering)
4. China Railway Seventh Bureau Group Co., Ltd., Meizhou East Ring Branch Project Civil Engineering Construction Bidding (Bid 1)
5. China Railway 17th Bureau Group Co., Ltd., Meida Expressway Civil Construction Bidding (3 bids for subgrade bridge and culvert engineering)
6. The tendering unit is different from before, the tendering unit is: Guangdong Jiaying Ring Expressway Co., Ltd., the winning bidder: Guangdong Changchang Highway Engineering Co., Ltd., Meizhou East Ring Branch Project Civil Engineering Construction Bidding (Bid 2)
7. Shaanxi Road and Bridge Group Co., Ltd. won the bid for the civil construction of Meida Expressway (4 bids for subgrade, bridge and culvert engineering)
8. Hunan Jinsha Road and Bridge Construction Co., Ltd. won the bid for the civil construction of Meida Expressway (5 bids for subgrade bridge and culvert engineering)
Anyway, according to the website of the public resources trading center, the whole line is these few winning bids, as for who was subcontracted to in the end, who did the work in the end, I don't know, and I am not a party, I have not participated in the construction of this project, so it is not good to comment too much.
If you know, add in the comment area, in short, the general contractor should bear joint and several liability.
Then I talked about the construction unit and the construction unit. Who is the design unit? The design unit of the East Ring Branch of Meida Expressway is: China Communications Highway Planning and Design Institute Co., Ltd.
Supervision unit: China Consulting Corporation. Highway operator: Dachao Expressway.
Written at the end, I saw such two messages in the message area, which touched me fiercely, is Guangdong's engineering industry really so bad? The following message: The expressway has been in operation for ten years, and everything that should have been experienced has been experienced, and the responsibility for design and construction should not be found, it should be a matter of custody, or it should be defined as a natural disaster.
This coincides with the characterization of "disaster" at the beginning of the article. The expressway has been in operation for more than ten years, and it was put into use after completion and acceptance, so is the highway maintenance company to blame?
When browsing the web, I saw such a news, according to an interview with a reporter from the interface news, the early detection and early warning were not in place, which was related to the maintenance and management of the operator.
The content of the following screenshot is more in line with the current situation. Therefore, there is a high probability that the operation management unit bears the primary responsibility, and other units bear the secondary responsibility, but the specific is subject to the official.
Here, I would like to ask: The local meteorological bureau reminded that there was a heavy rainstorm on the evening of April 30, and the operator and other responsible entities had an emergency plan? What measures have been taken?
Guangdong Province, the Department of Communications, the Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the construction unit, the design unit, the survey unit, the construction unit, the supervision unit, the testing unit, the highway maintenance unit and the relevant responsible persons, who is responsible for the accident? It is recommended to check the whole line and draw inferences from one another.
In addition, the family needs justice, and the public needs an explanation.
A deep condolence to the 48 people who died!
