[Corrosion found on tendons around the mounting holes]

[Grout thickness around the railing can vary up to 3.2 cm]

[HDPE duct crack]

This is New York, USA,

A report has been filed with the New York City Department of Transportation.

The bridge maintenance project is a project that the U.S. government has been promoting for a long time. It is a project to inspect existing bridges while building new bridges, so inspection and construction are being carried out simultaneously.

The problem is who will inspect the bridge and how?

How do you know if a bridge is defective?

Since the fittings are visible, you can visually check how much the gap has widened, but cracks in tendons (steel material inside the concrete) or ducts require non-destructive testing to see inside.

Non-destructive testing is a technology that allows you to look inside an object without destroying it.

MRI and CT are also types of non-destructive testing, and this field is also easily utilized in building management.

These days, it is possible to use sound equipment to see inside buildings. It sounds like science has made tremendous progress, but the reality is the exact opposite.

“Who would invest money in looking inside a building?”

“Does that make any money? It’s just a waste of time holding the company back.”

How would a construction company feel if it were diagnosed that the building they worked so hard to build had structural defects and had to be scrapped?

Of course construction companies would hate it. Buildings make money, but isn’t that kind of sonar detection technology an obstacle that lowers real estate values?

This is why the non-destructive industries in the US are handled by small businesses. Can small and medium-sized businesses properly investigate large companies such as construction companies?

That can’t be true.

The serious section is one where the bridge shakes when a vehicle passes over it, so repairs must be done quickly or some kind of countermeasure must be put in place.

The problem is that there are those who interpret this differently.

The New York City Department of Transportation responded by asking what the problem was.

“The recently built bridge could collapse?”

“What nonsense are you talking about.”

In fact, the Department of Transportation was afraid of opening Pandora’s box.

During its heyday, the United States built 10,000 bridges a year. How many botched projects must there have been during that process?

It’s not for nothing that people say that bridges need to be rebuilt in the United States.

The problem is how construction companies will perceive this. What will happen to their image if it is discovered that the bridges they built are defective?

Some people say they will just do some rough repair work and move on, while others want to cover it up with public authority.

[A lawsuit must be filed against the architect within 4 years of discovering the defect.]

[However, if the state has granted a 7-year limitation period, only 2 years remain for filing a lawsuit if the defect is not discovered within 5 years.]

For example, let’s say a construction company builds a defective building.

The statutory immunity period is seven years, but what happens if the state doesn’t discover the defect in the building for five years?

This means that if no suit is filed within two years, the construction company will be completely absolved of liability, and the state will be responsible for the massive pile of concrete waste.

How can a law like this still exist?

Is there any possibility of collusion between the Ministry of Transportation and the construction company?

Bridges are something that needs to be inspected continuously, so how can they be managed like this?

A U.S. nondestructive testing company insisted that the bridge be repaired quickly, but the Department of Transportation ignored it.

‘Just hold on for a few more years.’

‘Then we are also free from responsibility.’

Even construction companies are turning a blind eye to it,

Due to collusion between the corrupt Department of Transportation and the construction company, the bridge in question collapsed after only six years of construction.

[Here’s the latest news. On July 17th at 11:00 AM local time in the United States, a bridge collapsed, killing 114 people and injuring more than 200.

A police investigation found that the New York City Transit Authority ignored reports of problems with the bridge, and the construction company also paid little attention because the deadline for construction was approaching.

This is Daedeok County, I confirmed the tragedy that occurred in the United States.

A major tragedy that left hundreds of casualties, is this something that happened in another country?

I am proud to say that I work in a foreign country, but Daehan Transportation has a non-destructive testing company with over a thousand employees as a subsidiary of a world-renowned construction company.

It is a completely different scale from the non-destructive testing companies in the United States, which operate with only 50 to 100 people.

That’s why safety inspections are carried out simultaneously with the construction of a building.

Why did the U.S. government push 7.5% of the bridge construction project to Korea? The answer is here, and isn’t someone’s misfortune someone else’s opportunity?

I gathered my thoughts and called the Daehan Transportation office.

“Did you check the news?”

[Yes, sir, the American bridge collapsed, right?]

“This incident could be a huge opportunity to increase the demand for non-destructive testing. Don’t you think so?”

[Yes, sir, I will take action immediately.]

Everyone in America is shaking with anxiety right now.

Is the apartment I live in safe? Is the bridge I pass by safe from collapse? The only way to find out is through non-destructive testing.

Daehan Transportation, an authority in the field, has seen its construction company sales jump 20% as safety management has become a social concern in the United States.

Sales were 7.7521 trillion Korean won, net profit was 771.4 billion won, it is literally a jackpot.

If someone heard this, they would curse and say that money is going down the drain.

Even if you say it like that, it goes by very smoothly.

“So who said we should ignore non-destructive testing? You brought this on yourself. Don’t blame me.”

Did American construction companies neglect non-destructive testing because they didn’t know it was important?

There are construction companies that are desperate to make a profit by stealing construction materials, and they even harass and abuse non-destructive testing companies.

This is why American society has become like this.

While they were at it, they even absorbed a small non-destructive testing company in the US.

“Rather than being harassed by the construction company, wouldn’t you rather come into my arms?”

“If you do that, I have no reason to refuse.”

Non-destructive companies, one after another, jumped into my arms.

It is only natural, considering the humiliation suffered by construction companies and transportation authorities over the years.

The New York City Transit Authority, which had lost the trust of its citizens, was also forced to hand over all bridge project rights to Daehan Transportation.

Going forward, all bridge maintenance projects will be carried out by Daehan Transportation, and the New York State Government has also transferred $500 million to Daehan Transportation for the project.

This is how you dig ditches, catch crayfish, make money, and even gain the trust of the citizens.

Daehan Transportation’s sales in the United States are expected to increase to $30 billion in the future. Some may call it a monopoly, but it is not like there is any other alternative.

“Your Majesty, if we continue like this, we will really get eaten by Korea!!”

“We also need to discuss some countermeasures!!”

“What do you want us to do?”

“Half of the stocks of Daehan Transportation are owned by the U.S. government.”

This is the White House in the United States,

President George Herbert Bush was surrounded by his inner circle of aides.

Korea is slowly eating up America, and the way it is doing it is through legal means, such as corporations, which is even more concerning.

The United States is in an uproar over a bridge collapse, but isn’t it annoying that Korean companies are taking money in the midst of all this?

Unable to stand by and watch, the cabinet members began to argue that the United States should own half of the shares in Daehan Transportation.

But that is absolutely impossible, as Daehan Transportation’s market cap has long since exceeded $90 billion.

The US annual budget is just over $28 billion, so how can they possibly acquire half of the stock of Daehan Transportation?

First of all, the Korean won’s stake is over 14 billion dollars, and the assets of foreign investors are also close to 50 billion dollars.

Here, the Korean and Japanese governments have a stake of about $12 billion, and even the U.S. government is adding a spoonful.

Even the world’s most powerful government, the United States, is only an investor in Korea Transport, and trying to take half of it would be a disaster for other shareholders.

Above all, Daehan Transportation is a company that has been steadily growing for 40 years by the head of the Republic of Korea. Can the US government defeat Chairman Wang?

First of all, investors will not tolerate that.

Investors are benefiting because Chairman Wang is still alive, so why are you going to oust him? It is also known that the company’s profits have increased as the non-destructive testing business has expanded.

Even the US government cannot push out Chairman Wang of Daehan Transportation.

If you just think about it a little, you’ll find the answer.

But the reason the cabinet members are making such claims is because the Korean Transport Corporation has the power to surpass the U.S. government, or rather, the scales have been tilted for a long time.

What would happen to the United States if Daehan Transportation disappeared?

Manufacturing alone will see losses of more than 10%, and the distribution industry will also have to suffer losses of more than 20%.

Now, we can’t cut it out, so we should consider it a part of the United States.

Should we view the expansion of Korean shipping as an invasion of the United States by Korea?

The Korean leader only owns about 15% of the total shares, with the remaining 85% being divided among investors – the government.

Are we going to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs to make this American?

It was a problem that would not benefit the United States either; President George H.W. Bush, who did not know much about economics, knew that much.

“What you’re saying is so unrealistic. Is it possible to acquire half of the shares of Daehan Transportation?”

“It’s even more unrealistic that one individual controls 6% of the world economy!!”

“That’s right. Your Majesty, if we leave Marshal Park Sang-geun alone like this, the world will fall into his hands. You must make a decision.”

“Stop talking nonsense. I’ll pretend I didn’t hear what you said.”

In fact, the Bush family also owned shares in Daehan Transportation.

The stake is only about 0.06% of the total, but considering the size of Daehan Transportation, this is huge. What would happen to the company’s stock price if news of something happening to Chairman Wang were to be heard?

In fact, the American political world has already joined forces with Daehan Transportation and Hantongsok.

How many politicians do you think don’t own shares in Daehan Transportation?

The only thing politicians are interested in is stock charts, and Daehan Transportation is estimated to have US sales of over $33 billion within two years.

A company whose corporate value will soon exceed $100 billion,

It is also a given that more investors will flock in.

The person who makes me money is the master I should serve. What does patriotism and nationality have to do with that? Americans no longer viewed Marshal Park Sang-geun in a bad light.

Texas and New York in the US have already fallen into his hands, but has there been any protest in Texas or New York?

Rather, there was even a claim that Park Sang-geun should be appointed governor.

Here, California has also raised the white flag in the face of the Korean War, and has requested reinvestment, saying that it is only after the flowers have fallen that spring arrives.

If the Korean transportation falls to California, 30% of the entire US GDP will be controlled by corporations.

It wasn’t like there was an air raid on the US like the Pearl Harbor incident, but the US literally fell into the hands of corporations.

But this is an irreversible trend, and world public opinion has also recognized Marshal Park Sang-geun as the leader of the world economy.

Those who oppose are just showing off their pride,

Even if we shouted about the collapse of the United States by Korea, nothing changed.
