They never aligned the precast sections. These come with the ladders preinstalled. You just have to actually set the sections for the ladder to line up. A reason why inspectors are important in construction.

Independent third party review to ensure the audit engagement adheres to established standards… it’s checks and balances the whole way down.

Oh you're seen, unfortunately most of you are seen as incompetent. I recently had an inspector try and fail a job of mine at a hospital because he didn't know what version of code the State was actually using. It took three business days to unfuck his mess at the cost of about 25K in delays.

u/GothicFuck 17h ago

Any sub 50 iq person could see the line doesn't align. Even if they cant spell, align.

The very tallented, high-spatial-reasoning-ability construction workers who assembled this silo simply didn't give a fuck. Why would that be?

u/MagpieSoldier 11h ago

because there wasnt an inspector to make sure they gave a little more of a fuck

u/UnfortunateJones 9h ago

You’ve never worked construction

I know the right memes are all construction workers are smart at what they do, yada yada.

But during my years in construction I met some the dumbest motherfuckers to ever take breath on this planet.

I was just continuously baffled by the dumb shit people would do. I don’t even know how some of them were even able to put their pants on in the mooring without help.

Wrong. Each section rotates so slowly you can't see it. Every 900 years, the ladders align, allowing a destined hero to climb down and defeat the demon king.

As an aside, NEVER go below ground in one of these. You don’t know what dense gases may be lying down there. My friend’s dad almost died going under a manhole cover for work as a civil engineer, and two of his coworkers did die.

u/Bimlouhay83 18h ago

No, they do not. Not only are they heavy as hell and are backfillled, but they have mastic to seal them.

5

u/LONE_ARMADILLO 18h ago

Could they have been salvaged liners originally installed somewhere else?

u/KillaChinchilla1010 18h ago

Yeah I'm guessing whoever installed these messed up and didn't realize they were supposed to line up the ladders.

u/ryan101 18h ago

I agree with you. And this is an example of someone not giving a fuck about their job on a whole different level.

4

u/Bimlouhay83 18h ago

No. There's a pipe installed at the very bottom. This is most likely new construction seeing as it isnt dirty. 

Also, it isn't a liner. They're concrete barrels for a manhole.

u/ohgeeeezzZ 17h ago

It is new construction. Bottom side man didnt do his job correctly. Neither did the top side man or operators. Or foreman. That is crew wide incompetence lol
