Government inspections are not the same as national and international engineering design standards and codes. My point was that I doubted the campaign contributions had any influence on engineering design standards and codes. Presumably the dam was designed to comply with engineering standards and codes originally by KPC, back in the 2000's or whenever it was.
I don't know what your point is about AMEC and Knight Piesold regarding my comment? I read both those articles before I saw this thread on CP. Obviously CP is not my source of info, since nobody was even talking about AMEC or KPC in this thread. I said I was surprised that nobody else was discussing the role of the engineer of record in this incident. They would seem, to me, to have much more influence over the design of the dam than Murray Edwards.
And it sort of gets my back up that you're calling me ignorant, while posting photos of yourself hoisting your bike at the top of Mount Seymour as a testament to your environment loving ways.
