Where structural safety became an industry priority
Savar is where Rana Plaza collapsed in 2013, and Ashulia and the Dhaka Export Processing Zone hold some of the country's largest garment and knitwear operations. Few areas have seen more structural inspection and remediation since — and buyers here expect the highest standard of evidence.
What projects here involve
- Follow-up assessments for factories with open corrective action items
- Remediation of columns and slabs found deficient in earlier inspections
- Load plans and load management for storage floors
- New buildings and extensions within factory compounds
Ground conditions
Savar sits on the edge of the Madhupur terrace, where ground is generally firm, while large parts of Ashulia are low-lying land that floods seasonally and has been raised with fill. Foundations on filled ground need investigation and, often, piles.

Questions from Savar & Ashulia
Our factory had an earlier inspection. Do we need a new assessment?
Not always. We review the earlier findings first and test only what is needed to close the open items or support new changes.
Is filled land in Ashulia suitable for a factory?
It can be, with the right foundations. A soil investigation shows the depth of fill and the soft layers below, and usually points to piled foundations.
