Bridge over the Strait, another engineer dissociates himself from the Messina order

Here comes another distancing from the letter that the order of the Engineers of Messina disclosed yesterday: this time it is theeng. James William who expresses a different vision with a press release “in total disagreement with the note of my Order”.

“I read with amazement the statement from the professional association to which I am proud to belong. While I appreciate the obvious support for the construction of the Bridge over the Strait by all the Orders of Engineers and the CNI, I do not understand the need to reiterate the observations (I remind myself and the writer of the note that they are not critical issues unlike what he writes) that the Scientific Technical Committee (the body responsible for approving the definitive project) produced when it approved the definitive project”.

“In addition to the content of absolute uselessness and redundancy with respect to what has already been prescribed by the competent bodies and which must be resolved during the production phase of the executive project, the form used towards a State-owned company which has always offered the maximum availability for comparison. This form can give rise, indeed it has already given rise to political exploitation, so much so that those who oppose the bridge say that Messina’s engineers (all of them) express doubts about the work. Wiser and more appropriate for us engineers it would have been to ask CEO Pietro Ciucci and technical director Valerio Mele in their roles for a meeting at the Order’s headquarters to discuss an updated timetable. But we all know that this can only happen after approval by Cipess, at which point Eurolink will be able to start its executive planning and construction activities. This last detail is one that I believe is well known to the professional association to which I belong. I advise, with due respect, my Order to resolve the issue pragmatically by inviting the company to Messina to bring out the position, whether it is proactive and constructive or not. Moreover, the conflict posed in these terms could unintentionally harm us and our colleagues. In total disagreement with the note from my Order, engineer Giacomo Gugliemo registered at no. 2081 founding member of the ‘Bridge and Freedom’ committee”.
