PM appeals for the end of lax standards
While offering no concrete solutions to the issue, Prime Minister Hun Sen yesterday appealed for graduating engineers to be aware of generally lax building standards that could have a long-term impact on public safety. … Much of Cambodia’s infrastructure was redeveloped after the civil war, and international building standards have not been universally applied. … National building standards will take “several years to accomplish and would also require the establishment of testing facilities for materials as well as the training and employment of a cadre of building inspectors”, a report published earlier this year by Britain’s Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors noted.
