Narration:

Engineering Safety Investigation conducted on the Three (3) level bank building, sequel to the observation of;

  • Excessive moisture ingress into the battery room,
  • Extensive spalling of concrete elements (slabs, beams, staircases),
  • Cracks on some walls,
  • The paucity of parking spaces & Inadequate functional spaces for general banking operations.

Report of the investigation concluded that;

– the Load-bearing system of the building was structurally intact (Not with-standing the defective roofing system),

– Certain structural beams, Columns & footings must be retrofitted,

– Spalled concrete surfaces must be treated with proper concrete bonding agents before dressing with mortar,

– Replace the existing roof with a Hip-roof that gets the water away from the footprint,

– Re-locate the roof water tank onto a Steel structure outside the foot-print of the building,

-Repaint all external walls with weather-shielded paint.
