By mutual agreement, the government of Mexico City and the Norwegian company The Norwegian Veritas (DNV), in charge of investigating the causes of the collapse of the elevated section of the Subway Line 12 that the night of May 3, 2021 caused the death of 26 people and more than one hundred injured, they terminated the corresponding contract.
The agreement signed between the parties establishes that the capital government will not pay the company for the “Single Report of Results of the Root-Cause Analysis. Phase III”, whose cost is approximately 11 million pesos, and that both the Secretariat of Integral Management of Risks and Civil Protection (SGIRPC) as DNV They undertake not to promote legal actions by civil, criminal, administrative, labor or any other type, as well as to the confidentiality of the information.
“In reality, this was a termination agreement made by the Civil Protection Secretariat, which clearly establishes that the third report is not paid. And there is a group of selected engineers who are also reviewing the expert reports that have been carried out and, on the other hand, well, the expert report of the Attorney General’s Office was carried out,” said the head of the Government of Mexico City Claudia Sheinbaum.
To a specific question about whether there was “pull and loosen” with the Norwegian company to reach an agreement to terminate the contract, he replied:
It really was, do you remember that we had filed a complaint? Finally they approached and the agreement was that, that the third report would not be paid.
The company recognized, assured, that the government should not pay for the third report, and ruled out the hiring of a new external company to carry out the third report that was pending by the DNV.
“No. They are engineers who are reviewing, plus the expertise of the Prosecutor’s Office”, which has already been reported, he specified when asked if another external company will be hired to carry out a new expertise.
In the first and second expert opinions of DNVhe commented, “here comes all the analysis” of what happened and that caused the collapse of the elevated section of the so-called gold line of the capital metro.
His government is currently working on the rehabilitation of line 12 and guaranteeing the safety of users, he added.
“What we are concentrating on is getting Line 12 ready. As I have said, what we are making sure of is that it be a line 12 safe and each of the sections requires its own executive project. Every week we are monitoring him and he is already advancing little by little.”
Questioned about the date of reopening of operations in the aforementioned line of the Collective Transport System of the Metro of the Mexico Citycommented that the service in the underground section, “which is also being improved”, will open “I think at the end of this year”, and that “the other part -the elevated section-, we will already be informing”.
