1.       Project Description

 

 

The United Nations INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR MIGRATION (IOM) – Iraq, Erbil Office is currently using a B + G + 2 story building as office facility. The building was originally designed and constructed for Supermarket purpose. A structural, Mechanical and fire safety assessment is required to confirm the building can be used for office purposes, considering architectural modifications and service requirements.

IOM requires a complete structural assessment of the building by an external and independent consultancy firm to review and assess its structural capacity, architectural modification feasibility and Fire safety services reliability, and to certify that it meets the requirements for office space as per the Government of Iraq’s building construction guidelines and regulations. Additionally,  the existing building faces  multiple Operation and Maintenance (O&M) issues on daily basis. The potential consultancy firm is requested to find out the root cause of O&M defects and recommend a full rectification plan.

 

 

2.       Scope Of Services and Expected Outputs.

 

IOM is of the concern that the building should be free from any difficulties on serviceability for the intended use of office premises.

2.2   Design Check and Nondestructive Testing:

Site Visit: A site inspection and condition assessment will be carried out to verify the construction’s precision and its alignment with the specified design outlined in the design documents. A standardized checklist will be created to guarantee consistent and comprehensive data collection. Detailed notes and photographs will be captured to record the on-site conditions accurately. The site visit will cover the following components:

  • Nondestructive random tests to be conducted: Rebound Hammer Test, Ferro-scan and/or cover meter test.
