>>1644587The Chicoms are just better at building rail. They have way more experience and are using all the latest Engineering techniques.
Honestly I wish we went with the Chinese for the High Speed line they are trying to build in California. Instead we got some FuckUp company from Spain that hasn't done shit and all they do is have meetings and Conference calls about the project. Stupid Fucking Spanish company.
Fucking Dragados. Has anybody even Fucking heard of them before!?
>Today, Dragados has not started construction on about half of its bridges and viaducts, four years after the original deadline of 2017, and it had completed less than 50% of its planned work by December, according to rail authority progress reports. The rail authority bears a share of responsibility, having failed to deliver 278 of 998 parcel land purchases needed for construction.>When California selected Dragados in 2014, the $1.2-billion contract was the rail authority’s largest ever, but it was $506 million less than the next-lowest bidder, Tutor Perini, and $834 million less than the third bidder, Samsung. The exact bid number — $1,234,567,890 — was considered cheeky in the no-nonsense construction industry with its sequence of all 10 numerals.The Spanish FUCKED US again!
