Detail Engineering Assessment
This Schedule develops a minimum level of information, Analysis and testing expected as part of a Detail Engineering Assessment.
The Building(s) have been visually assessed and it is deemed necessary that a detailed engineering assessment be carried out by a competent Engineering
Team employed by the factory Owner.
This Request should be read in conjunction with the BUET developed Tripartite Guideline document for Assessment of Structural Integrity of Existing
RMG Factory Buildings in Bangladesh (Tripartite Document), the latest version of this document should be referenced. T his document also gives guidance
on required competency of Engineering Team.
Any proposals for Retrofitting to follow guidance developed in the Tripartite Document
