Project
Geotechnical and Structural Assement in Effect of Flood
Report
Project description
The enclosed report assesses the impact of the January 2023 flood on the house structure, aiming to determine the existing risk level, assess the causal factors of the various damage outlined, and propose necessary remediation requirements based on the condition assessment. This detailed analysis has been conducted by Shahram Aftabiazar, a professional with expertise in both structural and geotechnical engineering. He holds degrees in these fields and is a distinguished member of the New Zealand Engineering Association.
Upon examination, it was determined that the recent flood, exceeding the stormwater network's capacity to drain surface water from the catchpit, was the primary reason for the water overflow on the property. This overflow, in turn, led to the unexpected settling of the house foundations and subsequent slumping within some areas of the house. To ensure that the settlement, initiated after the flood, ceases at this stage and to restore the foundation to its original state, remedial actions have been proposed.
