HCMC’s metro line No.1 investor has agreed that an independent consultant investigates why a supporting pad for beams fell off from its position.
The investor, HCMC Management Authority for Urban Railways (MAUR), made the decision after failing to figure out why one of the Elastomeric Laminated Bearings pads had fallen out from its position between two beams on the line’s elevated section last October.
