What a shocking these lamps become already more rusty
CID ordered this hanging lamp to be removed from post and seemed to be sent for lab.
From the pictures it showed that the lamps were installed together with the lamp pole since day one. The two horizontal poles were designed for the flag hanging only and not for any other purposes. Before the lamp were installed, drawings had to submitted for approval. After the installation, the LTA must conduct regular inspection to ensure it is structural sound.
The two horizontal pole were not designed to hold the lamps, you do not have to be a rocket scientist to find out to install a lamp which had a flat surface to a pole surface which will not give a structurely sound installation. In additional, the material use to made the lamp also not weather proof, the contractor was there to install the lamp, it is the sturcture engineer who approved the lamp pole to take the responsibility.
.
:bigeyes: Sound like you are expert. If structure engineer approved lamp pole and take responsibility, contractor should take responsibility too because they chose poor quality of materials, right?

Thanks for sharing, woosin. It was sure an unfortunate incident, I mean accident.
The initial design of the lamp-post has to be certified by a PE (Professional Engineer) before it can be erected. After which, it's the maintainance agent's responsibility (whoever the contract was awarded to) to ensure proper inspection and rectification actions are carried out should there be damages or corrosion.
I'm sure the authorities would get the MA to inspect all the lamp-posts now.

The lamps from the lamp pole need to be removed immediate, it was not designed to be there. The structure of the pole was designed to hold the flags but not others. The location of the pole is next to the sea water, any material other than 316 stainless steel will rust very fast, thus it need to be coated with powder coat or others.
Looking at the pictures again, yeah, looks like the cross structure wasn't meant to hold lamps to begin with. I won't call that a lamp-post.
Was it actually used for flags only, and someone decided to mount 4 lamps onto it as well? Agree that there's excessive corrosion and rusting, look at the manhole cover in one of the pictures.

That means all lamps were fitting "welder" on all flag poles, right? Sorry, do not know how to spell this word!!!
