WILDFIRE-DAMAGEDHOUSE & SHOP
Separate house and shop structures with extensive above-grade destruction and remaining concrete and masonry support systems.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
A house and a shop in Clinton, BC were left with extensive above-grade destruction after a wildfire, with concrete and masonry support systems remaining. Each structure was assessed independently.

ENGINEERING FOCUS
Engineering Focus
Assess each structure independently. Distinguish damaged masonry requiring replacement from cracked concrete requiring further investigation. Identify unsuitable shop supports and defer concealed slab retention decisions until exposure and review.
Relevance to Restoration
Demonstrates component-specific decisions rather than blanket acceptance or rejection of all remaining foundations. Concealed elements remain subject to review, and crack causation is not assumed solely from their presence after a fire.
