A light metal or plastic mesh would have worked just fine, and been a lot less expensive. It seems to me that this was make-work or make-expense. Makes nothing but sense, a mesh screen would be just as esthetically appealing at a fraction of the cost. How were the fans to be serviced behind 3 1/2 ton concrete panels?

Typical of a government project: lots of dead, useless weight that cost tons of taxpayer money.

How were the fans to be serviced behind 3 1/2 ton concrete panels? Didn't even think of that. Very carefully, I guess...

Maybe a catwalk above the panels, with lots of headroom? That would make for an even bigger bore, at an even more outrageously expensive cost, with ever so much more room for payoffs, bribes, graft, theft....
