Twenty more ‘abnormal’ tests results from scandal-plagued mega bridge found
Latest discovery brings number of ‘problematic’ results from contractor Jacobs China to 346
The latest find has brought the number of “problematic” test results involving the firm to 346, or 0.11 per cent of the total figure for the projects in question.
The Civil Engineering and Development Department said it used the raw data from the tests to conduct its own analysis of all affected batches of concrete and found that the 346 problematic reports did not affect the final results. The strength of the concrete still complied with professional requirements, according to the department’s analysis.
All 20 new tests results showing abnormalities were from bridge-related projects, such as the Hong Kong Boundary Crossing Facilities and the Tuen Mun-Chek Lap Kok Link connecting the northwest New Territories with the bridge and the airport, the department said in a statement.
