Dear Editor,
Guyana’s infrastructural development is directly proportional to its engineering magnitude. Our surroundings mirror our achievements or lack thereof… The buildings (new and old) in our major towns are a reflection of how much we have developed.
Mr. Editor we have not but moved at the speed of a snail in the direction of our nation’s development with regard to our methodology, design, construction, testing and commissioning of high rise structures- all because of laws which were good in the days they were written but have little value to modern engineering.
Mr. Editor, considering the major advances in engineering, isn’t it time to revisit these archaic laws that prevent us from designing and constructing high rise buildings? I wish that someone who had inputs in the ‘2003 Guyana Standard, Building Code- High Rise Buildings’ would name, not explain, in the functions of engineering concepts the parameters that prevent the construction of high rise buildings- considering that these very same parameters/ conditions and even worse have been harnessed/ conquered by engineers to construct even larger structures in other countries. I need to understand what these parameters are and figure out how can we overcome them, using engineering techniques. Until we include such concerns in our daily aspirations to see growth and development in Guyana, then our nations’ progress will continue at a slow pace.
