“STUDY CANNOT BE VERIFIED BY GEOLOGICAL ENGINEERS”
associate Dr. Mustafa Akyıldız said:
“Inspection companies are reluctant to inspect structures by geological engineers, despite relevant regulations from the ministry.. However, this situation results in the inability to fully control the buildings. To minimize the risk in buildings in the event of a possible earthquake, such as the Düzce earthquake, reports from building inspection agencies should be complete and complete. Particularly in the inspections carried out by the relevant units of the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change, which is authorized to inspect construction inspection companies. It is necessary to check and establish that the Building Inspection Report also has the approval of the Geological Engineer, which is included in the Regulations. In addition, according to the regulation, it must be requested in the reports prepared in the respective municipalities and submitted to the municipality for approval. Here we think that municipalities and officials of the ministry will reduce the risk even more if the Bouwkundig Keuringsbureau is inspected closely.”
