Proposed Monsoon preparation works

Area Problem Proposed Action

SD - Area Due to the difference of elevation of

the “Granary” to the surrounding

ground level, water is rushing down

the slopes, washing out great parts

of the brick work and of foundations.

- Building of temporary mud-

brick dams to lower the speed of

running water down slope.

-Covering lower parts of the

granary-platform with geo-

textiles and mud bricks.

- Covering the tiles floor and

fissures of the surface down

slope with mud bricks.

Area Problem Proposed Action

HR - Area In this section the walls are affected

by an uncontrolled water flow, which

is tunneling the walls.

The combination of missing

maintenance, running rainwater and

salt crystallization caused a

deterioration of the structures. The

walls are crumbling, bricks are falling

down, holes were opened by running

water and walls are leaning.

- Uncontrolled water drainage is

damaging fragile borders of the

walls (crumbling).

-Building up new mud-brick

layers to protect toppings.

- Putting soil on the ground level

of the room to rise the present

level (allowing water to run off).

-Brick which have fallen down

should be relocated to their

position in correct bonding.

Area Problem Proposed Action

VS - Area The remaining walls are

standing on a terraced

topography. Water is

tunneling under the

structures, washing out

substructures and taking the

mortar. Furthermore the

bricks are crumbling and

flaking.

- Building up barriers to

control and canalize the

water flow into the lanes

and surrounding areas.

-Stabilizing the remaining

walls by surrounding

mud bricks bases.

Area Problem Proposed Action

Moneer -

Area

The main problems

occurring in this section are

affected by an uncontrolled

water flow, which is

tunneling the walls and even

washing out the ground

level causing damages in

the uncovered sub-layer

architectural remains.

-Filling up the gaps in the

walls to stabilize the

foundations.

-Building up barriers to

control and canalize water

flow into the lanes and

surrounding a.

-Fill in the washed out

capping/holes with mud-

bricks.

Area Problem Proposed Action

DK-G- Area Damages in DK-G south Area

are mainly caused by the

effects on uncontrolled running

surface water after heavy rain

falls. Surface levels outside

houses are lower than inside

and rooms are filled at different

level with earth. Water is

captured in room corners and

draining uncontrolled through

the brickwork.

-Introduce low barriers of

condensed mud-bricks

along the same hypothetic

lines on the ground to break

up water speed and control

direction of water flow.

-Consolidate base zone by

supports of mud brick.

- Protect wall tops by

renewing the mud brick

layers.
