AMREF Headquarters

On the fateful evening of 15th January 2018, a fire broke out at AMREF offices at Wilson Airport, causing substantial damage to the floors, beams, columns, walls and ceilings of the room and adjacent offices. Our firm was contracted to conduct a structural integrity assessment for the affected building, prepare tender documentation and supervise the restoration and renovation works. We carried out visual inspections, conducted destructive and non-destructive tests, including rebar scanning, sounding, Schmidt hammer tests and core cutting. The tests were related to fire action theory in concrete, steel and masonry to deduce the duration of fire and damage extent. The building was finally restored to perfect condition.
