SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The California Department of Transportation said Monday it has fired a technician responsible for seismic testing to ensure the safety of the new San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge after an investigation concluded he falsified safety tests on other projects.
Duane Wiles and his supervisor, Brian Liebich, were terminated after The Sacramento Bee reported over the weekend that Wiles was accused of falsifying safety tests for a busy Los Angeles highway bridge and an Oakland freeway sign. Caltrans said it has reviewed Wiles’ work and found no fabrications in his safety testing for the new Bay Bridge.
