STAFF REPORT KHI: The construction infrastructure is at risk in Karachi due to use of poor quality rebars in construction which is potentially dangerous especially in case of eventuality like earthquake.

NED University of Engineering and Technology has recently hosted a workshop on Sustainable Quality Improvement in Pakistan Construction Industry in collaboration with (FIU) Florida International University, East Carolina University and Auburn University.

Speaking at the occasion, Executive Director Agha Steel Hussain Agha said, “Kara-chis infrastructure is at danger because the current rebars used pose a severe risk to our infrastructure. It is imperative for structural engineers to use quality rebars that are de-signed to withstand Earthquakes”.

He said ASI took an active role to raise awareness that sustainable quality rebars are manufactured only through the Electric Arc Furnace manufacturing route.
