"Year 60 of the Revolution"

Project: TABACUBA National Training Center. Calle 23 between 14 and 16

Municipality: Plaza

Specialty: Structure

Diagnostics

I.- Introduction:

This building is visited in order to assess its current technical condition and formulate and

make recommendations according to the results of the inspection.

II- Type of construction:

It is a 3-storey building which includes a Mezzanine between the ground floor (first level) and

the second level. Its construction took place between the late 40s and the 50s of the previous

century.

It consists of a reinforced concrete structure made up of columns, beams, and mezzanine and

roof slabs, with very thick exterior brick walls that also function as bearing walls, and some

areas on the roof and mezzanine with non-significant metallic structures according to the area

of the building.

III- Variations that may have taken place over time, such as reforms, opening of new

holes, etc.:

Both on the roof and on the slabs separating the different levels there are holes that go through

the reinforced concrete slabs, which were opened in order to accommodate hydro-sanitary

installations, air conditioning systems and fire-fighting networks. There are also holes in

beams, columns and slabs which were made during studies carried out by ENIA (Empresa

Nacional de Investigaciones Aplicadas) in order to assess the condition of those elements.

There are also places where concrete slabs have been replaced.

In this building there was previously a tobacco factory, which was closed due to the technical

conditions of the building. At present, the intention is to repair and remodel the building in

order for it to house a training center related to tobacco.

IV.- Current condition of the structural elements:

Case 1:20-cv-23287-DPG Document 89-4 Entered on FLSD Docket 04/28/2021 Page 5 of 20
All the levels, including the roof, were covered during the visual inspection performed at this 

building. We provide below the descriptions corresponding to each level:

Ground floor:

They are many areas with exposed steel bars due to the corrosion of steel bars, mainly in the 

ceiling; this can also be observed, due to the same situation, in the beams and in some 

columns, where there are vertical cracks due to the same cause. Leaks and damp stains can be 

observed on the ceiling; there are also buckled areas on the ceiling and on some beams which 

run the risk of becoming detached.

In some of these areas the steel bars are very corroded, showing significant cracks and missing 

portions in their section.

At the back of the building, on the left side when entering the premises, the ceiling has been 

shored up, and the beam, which is in poor condition, also needs to be shored up. This shoring 

must be extended to the adjacent areas, where the ceiling and the beams are also in a poor 

technical condition. Shoring can also be seen in other areas of the ground floor due to the poor 

condition of the ceiling.

Mezzanine:

This level is located between the ground floor and the second level, which extends over part 

of the total area of the ground floor. There is an area that has been shored up due to the poor 

condition of the ceiling. This shoring should be continued towards the ground floor, and the 

existing shoring needs to be rectified. As on the upper floor, there are buckled areas in different 

places.

Second level:

As on the ground floor, but with less impact throughout the area, very similar situations can be 

observed as regards the ceiling and the beams. Leaks on this level are more significant than on

the ground floor. There are leaks coming from the upper level, broken downspouts causing 

rainwater that comes down the pipes to stay at this level, and openings in the exterior walls 

through which rainwater penetrates into the building. Some areas adjacent to the staircase and 

the elevators on the right have been shored up; most of this shoring has to be rectified, and it 

also needs to be properly corrected by extending it up to the ground floor. The ceiling is in a 

poor technical condition. Shoring is also required on the left side, and it needs to be extended 

up to the ground floor. Some beams show exposed steel and cracks, and, as in the case of the 

ceiling, there are buckled areas which run the risk of becoming detached.

Third level:

The ceiling shows large damp stains, and undoubtedly when it rains there are leaks. These 

leaks affect around 35 to 40% of the total area of the building. There are many cracks in 

columns and beams, as well as buckled areas in all the structural elements.

There is no need for shoring on this level.

[Handwritten:]

94

Case 1:20-cv-23287-DPG Document 89-4 Entered on FLSD Docket 04/28/2021 Page 6 of 20
Due to the rain, there are large pools of water on the floor, which are naturally one of the 

reasons of the leaks affecting the lower floor. There are also opening through which rainwater 

penetrates into the building.

Roof:

Recent work carried out on the roof, consisting in cleaning and elimination of shrubs, weeds 

and other elements, has critically affected the roof sealing. The damaged areas are significant 

and affect the slopes for rainwater drainage towards the downspouts, which explains the 

significant leaks that can be observed on the lower level.

There is an area located on the left corner entering the building and on part of the side of the 

building where the roots of two bushes which had reached a certain height caused the 

destruction and collapse of the perimeter parapet. The roots penetrated the parapet wall, 

destroying a significant part thereof. Part of the affected parapet wall which is still standing 

has to be removed, since it might collapse on the corridor between the building and the adjacent

building; consequently, all preventive measures to shore up and brace the parapet wall must be 

taken so that it can be removed and does not damage the adjacent building.

We believe that the roof must be repaired in order to minimize the leaks and the deterioration 

of the reinforced concrete slab.

V.- Current conditions of the different installations and systems

Hydraulic, sanitary, stormwater and climate-control installations are quite damaged due to 

cracks and detachments that can be observed in some sections, a situation which also affects 

the fire-fighting network.

VI. Recommendations

Given the conditions of this building, we consider that the structural elements of beams and 

ceilings must be replaced in several areas; consequently, it will be necessary to carry out local 

demolitions, which will have to be controlled so as not to affect the neighboring areas and will 

imply shoring up the adjacent areas, although the possibility of adding metallic reinforcements 

to the structural elements has not been ruled out.

All areas to be demolished will need to be properly shored up. No excessive amounts of debris 

that could affect the lower levels should be accumulated during the demolition; consequently, 

debris must be removed daily. It is important to bear in mind that all electrical and gas 

installations must be inactive before beginning the demolition process. Any underhanging 

installations that can be recovered should also be removed before the demolition starts.

It is necessary to avoid as much as possible the emission of dust resulting from the demolition. 

To that end, the demolition area should be constantly moistened in order to avoid 

inconveniences to the adjacent buildings and to the workers performing their tasks in the 

building.

[Handwritten:]

93

Case 1:20-cv-23287-DPG Document 89-4 Entered on FLSD Docket 04/28/2021 Page 7 of 20
According to the area where the demolition will be taking place, it is important to consider 

whether it is necessary to build a provisional construction due to safety reasons or in order to 

avoid affecting any structural or non-structural element.

In order to protect workers, railings should be installed in the places designated for debris 

unloading through channels or conduits.

In order to avoid accidents, all buckled areas running the risk of becoming detached should be 

removed before starting the demolition process.

It is essential to have a demolition, protection and hygiene project that includes all the 

necessary details in order to avoid accidents and / or damage to adjacent structures.

VII. Additional points of interest

All openings in the exterior walls should be closed in order to prevent rainwater from 

penetrating into the building.

The roof sealing should be repaired in order to minimize existing leaks.

Roof parapets should be rebuilt; as an alternative, railings should be installed for the safety of 

personnel working on the roof.

A thorough cleaning process should be carried out in the entire building in order to prevent the 

presence of rodents or other animals and inserts [sic] as well as to prevent accidents, since 

there are places that are very dark.
