Finding the roots of the collapse of the metropolis

Finding the roots of the collapse of the metropolis

Hossein Ahmadi

The disaster of the collapse of the major part of the Abadan Metropol building was not an accident that occurred unexpectedly, but due to major and obvious structural, process and technical violations by institutions, natural or legal persons; At the same time, it is predictable and preventable. So far, no statement has been published by the institutions of the city council and municipality of Abadan and the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development as an announcement of their official positions. However, I will pay attention to the following points worthy of consideration:

Since the national building regulations are known as the only technical reference and governing principle in determining the correctness of the design, calculation, implementation, operation and maintenance of buildings; Therefore, on this basis, the General Administration of Roads and Urban Development in each province, on behalf of the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development, as a supreme supervisor in the field of construction, supervises the performance of the organizations responsible for control and implementation in the field of strict compliance with national building regulations and urban development regulations. If any violation is observed, he/she will notify the building permit issuing authorities of the municipalities and related departments and the construction engineering system organization of the province, and follow up the matter from the legal authorities and, if necessary, the judicial authorities until the violation is resolved. (Refer to paragraph 2-8-1 of the second topic of the National Building Regulations, Administrative Systems)

Therefore, in this regard, natural and legal persons and governmental and non-governmental organizations and institutions, complaints or information about violations of urban planning rules and regulations and national building regulations in accordance with Article 36 of the Executive Regulations of the Engineering and Building Control System Law; they can provide this general office or the general office can control the buildings in the form of identification process, intrusive or case-by-case, and in case of violation of the national regulations and urban development regulations, they should order the correction or prevent the continuation of the work to the municipalities and Building permit issuing authority and supervising engineer to notify. (Refer to paragraph 2-6-2 of the second topic of the National Building Regulations, Administrative Systems)

In the event of construction violations and its official announcement by the responsible regulatory body, such as the supervising engineer and the building engineering system organization, the bailiff, the building permit issuing authorities, in other words, the municipalities, are the custodians of building safety control and inspection in the field of urban construction.

When the municipalities do not fulfill their duties, taking into account that the supervisors do not have the possibility and practical tools to prevent the occurrence and continuation of the violation, as a result, by announcing it to the General Administration of Roads and Urban Development of the province, this General Administration according to paragraph 2-8-1 Subject 2 of the National Building Regulations is obliged to follow up on violations through legal authorities and necessarily judicial authorities.

Providing suitable housing for the people is part of the duties of the government in the country’s constitution, and on the other hand, with the establishment of the engineering and building control system law and the 22 topics of the national building regulations; The goal is to regulate and ensure the comfort of people as users of buildings. Regarding super projects, especially now with the slogan of national housing action and their mass construction, the government should implement a mechanism to secure and comply with all technical points and relevant regulations from the point of view of the safety of large-scale and numerous buildings until they are put into operation. It is guaranteed to be safe and in this respect it can be considered as a perfect model.
