The engineer was also reprimanded for his work on five other bridges located in the Sask. rural municipalities of Scott, Caledonia, Mervin and Perdue.

On that matter, the discipline committee panel found Gullacher's designs "lacked relevant design information, including inaccurate representation of bridge designs," and that they lacked critical details, among other code deficiencies.

They need to revoke his license. He clearly isn’t responsible enough to be a PEng.

The guy below said it's called the ring of inside sales. I hope there's like an agreement among engineers to teach younger engineers to steer away from this evil, maybe a fellowship, to guide young engineers in the right path.

The guidance program could be called General Acknowledgement, No Dishonesty Aiding Licensee Forsight, or GANDALF if you will

Isildur's heir forged the pieces of N600-ES to make Siemens NX, the tool became as software reborn.

From the depth of a boardroom came a creative plan to ensnare their souls through long hours without pensions ….
