Federal and company investigators are trying to determine why that is happening, and company officials have yet to say if the root cause of the problem is related to design, improper installation or maintenance, or other issues. It's other issues; to wit, R-e-d C-h-i-n-a m-a-d-e t-h-e t-u-b-e-s. I bet.
That appears to threaten the new San Francisco Bay bridge. Shoddy material (in this case the steel that is the bridge) was made in Red China. To be fair those responsible for the bridge such as CalTrans say there are no real problems. Critics disagree.

Yeah...the Chinese have special factories for "stretching" reinforcing bars and wire....
Truck arrive with 10 big rolls of 7mm diameter steel re-bar wire......
Drives out a day later with 11 big rolls of "7mm" diameter steel re-bar......
I guess they also do it with steel pipe.....
(I seem to recall a news report that Chinese pipe for water well drilling was not top quality.)
