Virginia to Remove Suspect Guardrails
Rail heads made by Trinity Industries, meant to reduce damage in a collision, are suspected of having a defect and have been banned by 13 states.
"Officials
at the Federal Highway Administration have said they learned about the
design changes in 2012 from Joshua Harman, a competitor of Trinity, who
is part owner of two Virginia-based companies, Spig Industry and Selco
Construction Services, that manufacture and install guardrails.
Mr.
Harman discovered Trinity’s undisclosed redesign during litigation in
2011 and subsequently filed the lawsuit against the company on behalf of
the Federal Highway Administration under the False Claims Act.
The jury last week found Trinity liable for fraud against the
government and returned with a verdict for $175 million, which, by law,
will be tripled to $525 million. Trinity disputed the ruling."
