Aren't they supposed to inspect the bridges every now and then to insure incidents like this don't happen?
No, it’s usually just igu sawir and move on
Looks like it was poorly built, The first steps to build any Bridge is to conduct a geotechnical investigation to assess the soil composition, bedrock depth, and water conditions at the bridge site.
How the hell dose any Engineer sign off on any Construction without the Survey or any research
How much rain does that region receive per year? what are the highest levels recorded ect?
Someone should be fired this is a poor job

Damn thats crazy. I'm studying civil engineering currently and they take field inspections super seriously. Do you know if this was managed by Somalis or folks abroad?
Not sure but it was part of the Berbera Corridor project. Likely built by locals with funding from UAE.
You can clearly see they put only Sand under the Concrete, No Gravel, Or Rocks NOTHING
This whole Bridge was built Poorly
The guy in the Video is right, they just put sand and covered it up with Concrete
Built by UAE apparently. Everything seems to be cheaply made these days.
Yes, and as soon as the heavy rains start the sand will obviously get wet and it will collapse the ends of the bridge, which will then cause the center to collapse due to the load. I’ve seen bridges collapse like this before. Almost as if someone put up the concrete to make it look stable. Literal deception, that is why people are calling it khiyano

Wow. Standards need to be raised back home especially with how important infrastructure like bridges are
That video is from the first time this bridge collapsed in 2023.
It has collapsed for the second time, this time for good.
The damage this time around cannot be repaired.

You mean the vaunted Somaliland shilling?
Where im from the geotech is there full time for the piling scope. They will inspect the material removed during piling and compare it against what is the design (does it match the bore logs?). They'll also make sure they drilled to correct depth, or tell them they can shorten the pile if they were to hit rock etc.
Not sure what happened here. Bad design maybe? Bad construction perhaps?
Local industry is disgustingly bad man. What are those darn technical schools any good for
They Give them a bridge located in the largest valley so they can get experience in building bridges
This year's rainy season was the strongest and this valley receives all the rain that falls in the golis mountains, so it is the largest.I wonder what kind of weather events this bridge has been designed for? I would have thought 1 in100 year events or more. Maybe it was made for a 1 in 0.5 year event.
It’s not about standards. It’s about corruption back home. Need to build a new project? Costs 10million. The corrupt African continent mentality is, pocket 8m and use only 2m on the actual project. What do you get? Low quality material, cutting corners and in general poor short term outcomes.
