Anyone working in this space has probably seen this coming. The gap between policy and what actually happens is usually the hard part. ugh.
Mate, wiring inside a wall cavity? That's terrifying. Could've been way worse.
they'll never admit fault. Just watch.
I've audited airport electrical systems before. This isn't surprising at all.
mate, you always say that but nothing changes
Hmm, 'wiring inside a wall cavity' sounds like a convenient explanation. What about the maintenance logs?
glad no one was hurt, hope they check the rest of the airport's wiring
better safe than sorry
typical, always something wrong with infrastructure. wonder if they'll actually fix it properly
Thank goodness it was caught early. Thoughts with the airport staff dealing with this.
as an engineering student, this is exactly why building codes exist. hope they prosecute if shortcuts were taken
it's always the old wiring. code needs updating nationwide
Should have been caught in inspections. FFS, how old is that wiring?
point, inspections probably a joke
These things happen, but it's a wake-up call for regular maintenance checks everywhere
I've said it before, Wellington infrastructure is a ticking time bomb. Old buildings, poor maintenance. This was inevitable.
yeah nah, they'll patch it up and forget about it
yeah nah
