AANES in Manbij requires earthquake-resistant construction
MANBIJ, Syria (North Press) – The Municipal Committee of Manbij, affiliated with Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES), issued a decision on Tuesday outlining new stipulations for earthquake-resistant construction.
The decision prevents granting any building permits unless they fulfill the Syrian code requirements for earthquake resistance.
It further stipulates that all licenses granted should be resubmitted to the Engineering Union to be re-evaluated against the Syrian code for earthquake resistance, at no cost.
If any building is constructed without the permission of a resident engineer, the permit will be suspended until the violation is addressed, the decision indicated.
The responsibility for building control management and the implementation of engineering plans on the ground rests with the sector engineer. After that, the responsibility rests with the resident engineer, the decision outlines.
