The College of Civil Engineers called on the authorities to conduct a review of the churches in Veracruz, to prevent a similar tragedy to that which occurred at Ciudad Madero (Tamaulipas).
Sergio Aguilar Rivera is the president of this organization. He stated that periodic property inspections should be performed at least one time a year in older properties.
The type and placement of the walls makes them quite resilient. It is important that these buildings undergo structural reviews.
Many religious sites are older than colonization. They have survived earthquakes, floods, and other natural disasters for centuries.
When maintenance is performed, it is not uncommon to perform minor tasks such as fixing cracks or surface damage, and painting, without a thorough study.
It is therefore “urgent to conduct a review of the entire church system, including all historical monuments, as it will lead to an excessive concentration of people in the building, and this is very dangerous.”
The professionals in this sector examine the condition of tiles, walls and beams, as some ceilings contain wood which may have been damaged over time.
According to the most recent report, the collapsed roof of Santa Cruz Church in Ciudad Madero killed 11 people, including 3 minors, and injured 51 others, with one in critical condition.
