Abu Rawash Fault Hammering

ABU RAWASH FAULT HAMMERING

26 of July Axis 

Continuance maintenance and repairs for 26th of July Axis, made me curious to find the location of such Axis in relation to ABU RAWASH Major Fault.

Driving along to Axis from CAI/ALEX Desert Road to LEBANON Square, using GPS, Recording (several Coordinate Readings (Listed in the attached ANNEX) – and comparing it with ABU RAWASH Major Fault location.

We discovered an intersection between them in different locations, Along the Axis.

Irrespect the accuracy of such reading in regard to the intersection areas, the location of the Axis near by a major Fault could create a great problems – leading to the FETAL Disaster, as the load on the Axis may effect this fault.

So, we strongly recommend to investigate, this problem and advise the authorities to assign a proper technically oriented teams to watch this Fault and other Major Faults in the country
