Survey the ground before the design freeze

From Sheikh Najjar Industrial City Rehabilitation

Digging found soft soil, groundwater, rubble and undocumented utility lines; the services building’s foundations were redesigned.

Recommendation: Make a geotechnical, utility and rubble survey part of feasibility for any reconstruction on a damaged site.

Confirm the land before approving the project

From Al-Mayadin General Hospital

The project was approved before Deir ez-Zor Governorate allocated the land, and stopped after the design award.

Recommendation: Do not pass a construction request to committee without a final land-allocation decision.
