BUT………………

DANGER LURKS IN ALMOST EVERY

BUILDING!!!

8

Over 60 years of case histories, and research studies by top authorities in a number of fields worldwide, have revealed an ever worsening crisis and alarmingly dangerous long-term property related trend in many parts of the world.

9

A number of very dangerous factors related to buildings, roofs, structures and properties have been identified and warned about repeatedly.

10

These factors include extremely high risks and actual or potentially very expensive losses in the areas of:

11

FIRE

12

13

Many Billions of Rands are being lost by corrosion and

weathering losses and damages

CORROSION

14

Long-term neglect, and incorrect ventilation, material and corrosion control specifications, caused this Wadeville factory roof and

structure to fail very dangerously, less than halfway through its projected lifespan.

15

Dangerously and expensively FAILED box gutter !!!

This was caused by SUBSTANDARD repair work !!!

This gutter could have easily collapsed and flooded out the entire

factory!

16

COLLAPSERisk of collapsing buildings and

roofs due to illegally non-compliant structures

17

18

Severe risks to life and health, due to the widespread use of biohazardous asbestos…

TOXIC

19

As well as the extensive presence in many buildings of very flammable insulating and other materials that burn aggressively and spread fires rapidly

20

And which in many cases can release life threatening quantities of deadly hydrogen-cyanide gas!!!

21

This very common roof insulating foam has killed hundreds of workers…

22

Other very dangerous elements found to be very common in buildings include:

Legal  transgressions which could result in prosecution, fines and jail sentences

23

Roofs (old and new), being ripped up in high winds

24

Extensive flooding of buildings and properties

25

These very dangerous elements are very frequently found in roofs and buildings that have been regularly inspected and signed-off by “experts” as allegedly safe and legally compliant.

Misinformation?

26

“Any company that owns or manages a large portfolio of Properties, is very probably in the middle of a massive asset damage, SHE risk, legal compliance and financial loss crisis, without even realizing that anything is seriously wrong”.

ARTF Public Information Bulletin 2009

27

Old solutions have become

part of the problem! 

28

Extensive senior level research

has also shown that the

majority of solutions being

offered on the market place are

in fact NOT resolving these

risks, losses and problems

safely, affordably and

sustainably.

29

As we technologically advance so do the solutions needed to fully resolve those problems. 

A quick-fix is just that – a Quick fix.  Then that Quick-fix becomes the next immediate serious and very costly problem to resolve. 

Problems are only resolved by in-depth investigations to establish the exact root causes of each specific problem and then ensuring that the exact solution is correctly and fully applied. 

30

This is true forBuildings, Roofs

and

LIFE !
