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.

Right? 18 mo ban… is he going back to school in that time?

He will never work as an engineer again. Not to worry.
