ACCORDING TO PRADIP SUREKA, MANAGING DIRECTOR, SUREKA GROUP, HIGH-RISES ARE SAFER THAN STANDALONE BUNGALOWS WHEN IT COMES TO EARTHQUAKE RESISTANCE. POUSHALI BISWAS REPORTS T There used to be a time when most buyers would ask real estate promoters ‘Would you provide a club with the apartment?’ In the last few months, the question that most buyers are asking first is, ‘Is the building earthquake-proof?’ This question is relevant for more reasons than just the recent earthquake in Nepal and tremors in Kolkata. Taller buildings are being built in Kolkata than ever before, raising fears that perhaps an earthquake could cause serious issues. Buildings are getting in- creasingly expensive, compelling buyers to ask whether the higher outlays are justified on the grounds of enhanced safety. Buildings are being designed around heavier loads; a recent landmark con- struction in Kolkata provided for a 500 feet-tall structure sitting on the terrace of two adjacent high-rises. There is a growing fear that Kolkata’s high water table is not conducive to high-rises, endanger- ing their safety during an earthquake.
