Aragua Construction Chamber proposes technical commission to assess earthquake-damaged buildings

In the wake of earthquakes that struck on June 24, the Chamber of Construction of the state of Aragua has put forth a proposal to establish a technical commission. This body aims to meticulously review the physical condition of buildings across the region, ensuring structural integrity and public safety.

The initiative, as reported by Unión Radio, seeks to consolidate efforts from various sectors, including the regional government, the College of Engineers, construction companies, and local civil organizations. This multisectoral collaboration is designed to effectively coordinate both public and private resources, prioritizing the safeguarding of homes and businesses within Aragua.

The proposed plan outlines a two-phase approach. The first phase involves conducting a comprehensive census to accurately identify the number of structures affected by the seismic activity and to determine their respective risk levels. This detailed assessment will provide a clear picture of the damage sustained throughout the state.

Following the census, a technical coordinator will be appointed to lead advanced engineering inspections. This specialist will also be responsible for developing cost structures for necessary repair work, ensuring transparency and alignment with the national economic market. The collected data will then guide authorities and property owners in executing prioritized reforms in an organized manner.

The proposal will unite the efforts of the regional government, the College of Engineers, construction companies, and local civil organizations.
