Original respondents to Grenville Phillips' March 2013 article 'Why change Haiti's cultural building aspirations?', Tom McGregor and Michael Summers, summarise the subsequent discussions that took place and put forward their own views on the reinforced/confined masonry debate.
The publication of Grenville Phillips' article 'Why change Haiti’s cultural building aspirations?' in March 2013 attracted a number of responses. Having progressed the issue with the respondents (and other parties) in the interim, Grenville restates his concern over the Haitian government's decision to allow confined masonry to be the only masonry method approved for use in Haiti.
A reflection from Flint & Neill's Chief Operating Officer, Ian Firth, on the perception of quality in structural engineering design and construction.
