However, the City of Calgary said late Friday that its opening had been pushed back because of welds that don't meet quality standards.
Spot inspections done in recent days have revealed that welds made in the subassemblies constructed in Spain are in non-conformance, the city said in a news release.

So glad that we built this thing in Spain because only they could build the sub assemblies properly. |
Wait, what? They are just now doing spot checks of welds on the structural steel?
WTF? Did they not order non-destructive testing and inspections of all the welds and have them reviewed before releasing the product for shipping? Is this a case of ship now, review later to meet a deadline (Pretty dumb of Graham if so)? Or is it unfortunately a case of falsifying documents to pass muster (god I hope not, return to sender if that's the case).
Graham has some 'splainin' to do. With something this expensive, I would have sent an inspector over to Spain during fab and shipping inspection.
Absurd to be checking welds at this stage of the game. Calgary, we now have a farce on our hands. Just remember, don't blame City of Calgary on this one... sounds like Graham and the sub-contractors.
