IIT Madras to Assess Structural Issues in Mundamveli Apartments
Imagine a building where it rains inside!
That's happening at the Mundamveli apartments.
To fix it, smart engineers from IIT Madras are coming to help.
They'll figure out why the building is leaking and recommend solutions.
The government and the building company are working together to make sure everyone is safe and the building is fixed.
The engineers will check everything, from the walls to the roof, to stop the leaks and cracks.
Hopefully, the families living there will soon have a dry and safe place to live!
IIT Madras will assess and recommend solutions for structural issues in the Mundamveli apartment complex.
The Greater Cochin Development Authority (GCDA) and IIT Madras signed an agreement for the project.
Residents of the apartment complex have been experiencing leaks since moving in January 2024.
IIT Madras will issue a building stability certificate, a requirement for truss work.
The project aims to address leaks, cracks, and ensure the building's safety.
