Case Study: PRODECI 2007, Ecuador
Structural Problems of Public Buildings
Another issue facing the communities is the state of many buildings in the area. They are suffering from rot, degradation and are consequently developing dangerous structural problems.
Schools and medical centres need repair work
These buildings, which mainly include schools and medical centres, have become unpleasant environments to work in and visit. However, a local mining company has committed to finance reconstruction projects as mitigation for their damage to the area’s environment. The President of the region has asked PRODECI for a diagnosis of the public buildings and a cost estimate for the reconstruction work.
