No. Those parts were fabricated here in Sacramento. The problem it appears is they never asked why those parts failed in the first place. They thought that it was over time. It appears to lack the strength to take the stress. They need a thicker washer plate. They just don’t know the stress factor.

Sounds like they should put you in charge of the project. I don’t know what the heck a “washer plate” is but if you’ve narrowed down the problem that specifically based on news reports, seems like you’re brighter than the folks overseeing the bridge work.
