Technical Evaluation/Assessment of the Steel Structures at Canada Well Project – Rafah

Project Overview

This consultancy focused on assessing the structural safety of installed PV systems' mounting structures. The project involved a steel shed and PV solar panel mounting structures covering a total area of 1,800 m². During construction, discrepancies were identified in the thickness of steel elements compared to approved specifications, as well as changes in the locations of columns and spans. The consultant was tasked with providing recommendations to ensure the safety and stability of these structures.
