It wasn’t supposed to happen in Port-au-Prince. Experts* predicted Tehran or Dhaka were the most likely capital cities in the world to suffer the effects of a severe earthquake.

It is now more than 100 years since The Great India earthquake of 1897, that was centered in Shillong, and destroyed many of the great buildings of North Indian sub continent.

In December 2009 a magnitude 5+ earthquake shook Chittagong in Bangladesh.

In your locality, it could still be tomorrow. And when a survey by Dhaka’s most experienced earthquake and blast protection specialists costs from as little as $1,000, why wait before checking on the safety and security of yourself and your staff?It is possible to retrofit existing buildings to make them earthquake resistant

and this is work that the team at MCS have carried out for significant clients in Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan.

Design and Structural Engineering experience and expertise built into the original planning has been found to add only about 5% to the overall cost of a new building.

So why wait until tomorrow?

UK based, but with their main office in Dhaka, from which they work across the sub continent, their staff are a blend of local and international specialists… which both makes the local cost of work more affordable, and transfers technology to locally

Tomorrow, MCS are ready to survey and report on their assessment of your needs.
