With 16 design changes, 3000 workers, 60,000 tons of steel, 200,000 cubic feet of limestone and granite, 10 million bricks, and 730 tons of aluminum and stainless steel it is amazing that H.G. Balcom was able to complete this project in 1 year and 45 days. With so many risks to consider when beginning a project of this magnitude it is easy to see right away how the cost and safety of this project were priority one. From the very beginning when this project was just a thought in the minds of mankind, initial concerns were that the overall height and weight of this project would eventually lead to its demise. So as I we look into the possible risks of collapse of this great building we will start by creating a Event Tree that looks at the Design Frame Structure and the possible ways that it can fail.

Wayne Gretzky’s accomplishments are well known; he still holds many records in many different categories and is considered to be the best player in modern hockey.
Casualties among the workers were much lower due to extensive projects to control yellow fever and malaria, and the canal was completed in ten years, three years ahead of schedule. However, the cost was a phenomenal $350 million, the most expensive operation the US government had ever undertaken. In addition, Panama was paid ten million dollars, plus another quarter million each year, for use of the territory. This was a very large amount of money at the time, and the fees would be raised in 1936 and again in 1955. During construction, the US also established stores, schools, and military bases around the
