INVESTIGATION is under way to verify the allegation that about 10 tons of unqualified fly ash was used to build the Guiyang-Guangzhou High Speed Railway in south China.
A 10-kilometer section of the 857-kilometer railway linking the capitals of Guizhou and Guangdong provinces was said to be built with the substandard fly ash, which could result in cracked concrete sleepers and the risk of derailment.
Railway authorities made no comment on the allegation and the railway owner, the Guiguang Railway Company, insisted that they used qualified fly ash, Time Weekly reported yesterday.
The project contractor, Fuzhou Liansheng Construction Materials Company, was accused of using unqualified fly ash from a small thermal power plant in Guilin. But the company blamed its fault on Chenzhou Yueda Green Building Materials Company in Hunan Province, which supplied the fly ash.
However, Chenzhou Yueda said it stopped doing business with Fuzhou Liansheng before the project began due to unacceptable terms, and freight records at the Chenzhou railway station seemed to support its claim.
Still, Chenzhou Yueda's reputation suffered and the company hasn't got any new order since last October. It had no choice but to report Fuzhou Liansheng's misconduct to the Ministry of Railways, the report said.
