ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
(10-11-2016, 01:34 PM)nms Wrote: As I see the construction crews jackhammer out almost every platform edge in Waterloo, expose the rebar, and then re-pour, I'm wondering if this is either an on purpose construction technique, or a "never time to do it right the first time, but always time to do it twice" scenario.

As I understand, there was a mistake made when constructing the first platform bases in Waterloo, where some welds were missing that are necessary for proper grounding.  Those platforms have to be torn open and fixed.  It was caught only after pouring a number of platforms (all the ones in Waterloo or so).

Of course, since this is a P3, the citizens of the region are not on the hook for this mistake, AFAIK.
