Recently many structures related to transportation (road ,bridges ,airport) are being collapsed , many equipment failed during assembly & operation. Due to this many persons lost their lives ,works are stopped and also lost of money .
Everyone try to investigating root causes , they terminate responsible person , cancel the contract of that companies. Someone tells its design failure, machinery failure or poor workmanship. After some days or months all become close on paper but this is not permanent solution . It might be possible but it should be not repeated.
What is reason behind that ?
Recently since couple of years , many infrastructure projects like highways , metros , airports , railways etc are executing .It is good and many new companies came into this field .
First of all government invite tender at low cast self. In competition of others, some companies bid upto below 30-40 % of estimated cost by government authority . Definitely what can expect at these type of cost ? First they hire incompetent employees , old machinery and equipment, use inferior materials at last they have pressure to complete within given tenure otherwise penalized by govern bodies .
In this type of pressure, some manpower work continuously beyond his efficiency, equipment runs continuously without maintenance. Definitely equipment can be failed. For selection of materials everyone will go for cheaper and at low cost that effect quality of material .
It is requested to government authority to before awarding the contract check companies’ previous experience in relevant field , their assets ( machinery not much older , competent persons ) and after awarding contract don't push pressure to complete before target. If any problems happens during execution , find root cause and complete with safety and quality standard . Not go with shortcut to achieve on target date .
It also requested to government to don’t make it election agenda .
