It doesn't really help to go to the ends of the earth when a simple check by a professional engineer can say that it doesn't meet the specs.
I don't know if there was bonds in place for the steel contractor in this case, but like I said above, having one pretty much eliminates the chances of the subcontractor running away. Even if they didn't have one, they would still get sued and likely lose more money than they would have had they just kept going at the project.
