Santo Domingo. – The Ministry of Housing, Habitat and Buildings (MIVHED), through its Private Works Inspection Department, ordered the reopening of the Suplax store in the National District, after eight months of being closed for presenting high levels of vulnerability.


The establishment completed a comprehensive process of reinforcement and compliance with current construction regulations and with the continuous supervision of the technical team of the Private Works Supervision Department.


The regularization process began with a vulnerability and pathological study of the building, located on Nicolás de Ovando Avenue, where the different materials such as steel and concrete were tested, to then evaluate the demand and capacity of the structure.


Likewise, a reinforcement system was implemented to improve the structural functionality of the building against earthquakes and other load systems that affect the infrastructure.
