Joburg CBD explosion caused by methane gas

[DapperDanMan]

Probably end up costing a half a Billion and still have nothing to show for it.

As long as Lootfreely House ends up looking like this ...



... it will be worth every cent.

 

[Sinbad]

No Shlt Sherlock...

Quite the opposite in fact

 

[RonSwanson]

R178 million to fix a road... just level the bloody road and fill the holes with the excess waste around this place. R178million?

Lekker BEE, AA and Transformation.

Such a pity though, the mayor's 20 million rand home could have been halfway renovated with that.

R178million is much less than we initially thought, but still R250million is a fair amount of money to spend on fixing the damage. not sure if the city has the R400million needed to fix this, but they'll just have to find that somewhere in the budget. i suppose we should be glad that this didn't happen under one of the many highways or large streets, otherwise we'd be looking at a bill of more than the R800million needed to fix bree street. hopefully the cost doesn't go up more than the R1.2billion in their initial estimates.

lol - that was funny

 

[mpdjhb]

R178 million - thats R177 million more than the entire CDB is worth.

He revealed that following the explosion, the City of Johannesburg spent close to R4 million on “professional experts, services, the cordoning off of the site, technology that we’ve used and the provision of temporary relief”

Consultant: "Eish.. The road, she is broken".
That will be R2million please.

... it will be worth every cent.

As long as it includes methane blow-back and ignition on the dedicated line to Chancellor House, it will be a bargain.

 

[oldBastard]

After 30 years of ANC BS, it was bound to happen.

 

[As1974a]

the Source? Is Luthuli house close by?

 

[Pak Fa Fui]

But where did the gas come from and how and why, methane is a ventable gas so why did it explode

It was one of Gweezy's turds that exploded after brewing for a few weeks.

Nothing like a disaster to make some money on the side.

The difference is the Cape Town explosion is all above ground.

18 plus.... Wait, let do sum mafs

 

[Cranjus McBasketball]

Yea. You can't be sealing up sewer vents and not expect a poo gas bomb to develop.

cANCer cadres need their kickbacks you know

 

[Enzo Matrix]

Yeah very much high traffic...

So lets assume we're talking 1.5kms of road that needs to be rebuilt, you're at R30m.

All the underlying infrastructure for 1.5km (new tunnel, rerouting and rebuilding services), say another R30m.

An additional portion for contingencies of say R15m.

Not that we wonder, but what is the other R100m for?

Even if we go over the top and tack on R20m for removal of the existing rubble and debris, there is still R80m that is possibly not really that well accounted for

Oh great. Mybb experts at it again

Who sealed up the vents
