A destructive earthquake of magnitude 7.8 struck Nepal on 25 April 2015. Caritas Switzerland is rehabilitating 34 schools in 6 VDCs in Sindhupalchok district, Nepal, to provide students and teachers with earthquake-safe and child- and teacher-friendly learning environments.
SKAT Consultants are supporting and advising Caritas Switzerland in the planning, design, implementation and monitoring of the school rehabilitation programme and actively contribute to technically and conceptually sound solutions. Specific contributions include technical backstopping services at the desk by checking working and detail drawings against Nepali and SwS standards. Frequent quality controlling as well as phasing review missions are carried out in the field.
