see the pics below.
bamboo bridging the gap in the road. it is used during floods, and hard to believe but the flood water often submerges this bridge which is 6 feet off the ground!
this is the National Highway 52 in Dhemaji district!
these buildings for 8 feet off the ground a couple of years ago, but the stilts have since been inundated with sand from the flooding which occurs every year!
this is how high from the ground the above buildings should be
the way to one of the villages! health and safety assessment was conducted and it was decided that it was incredibly safe!

I hope you mean it about the health and safety assessment....I might just pass the blog address on to someone else ;-) Just kidding! Don't panic!
ReplyDeleteH&S is no laughing matter Gary....but then again if we didn't laugh, we would probably be crying Haha!
ReplyDeletedon't worry gary..these bridges are very stong except whn flood water passes...
ReplyDeleteI don't know what you're talking about. It looks perfectly adequate to me. UK engineers should take note and build similar structurally sound infrastructure to replace washed out river-crossings in Cumbria!
ReplyDeleteowch! was that a dig at the poor northern infrastructure?
ReplyDeleteNot at all (if that much rain hit the Isle of Wight the whole island would just sink). It was a plug for stable and sustainable Indian infrastructure. IIT must be world-renowned for good reason, whereas UK civil engineers have slipped into muddy water...
