Inspeção predial: estudo de caso do bloco acadêmico do Departamento de Bioquímica e Biologia Molecular da Universidade Federal do Ceará

Abstract

The building's construction systems are subject to faults and anomalies, and the electrical installations are not immune to such mishaps either. A very effective tool in preventing damage caused by these nonconformities is the Building Inspection. Due to its effectiveness in reducing the costs of possible accidents and increasing safety, this mechanism has undergone improvements on the part of the State, which starts to create specific legislation, so that all constructions have this resource. This study was developed to perform a detailed inspection of the building inspection process according to the assignments of an electrical engineer, thus serving as a basis for conducting future inspections. The necessary aspects for the elaboration of a technical report are listed, according to the Instituto Brasileiro de Avaliações e Perícias de Engenharia. In order to substantiate such topics, a report was prepared according to the current legislation about one of the didactic buildings of the Federal University of Ceará, the building of the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. The request and analysis of the relevant available documentation was carried out. At the end of this stage a visit to the building was made through all the rooms and the external part in order to locate and document all irregularities related to the electrical systems of the building. With all the data collected and analyzes completed, a Technical Appraisal Report was prepared, where it is possible to find all the methodology used, together with all the inconsistencies found, besides a list of causes and risks. This document guides the person in charge of the building in a clear and succinct way on which points of greatest urgency must be met, thus ensuring the effectiveness of the procedure. At the end of this elaboration there is a recommendation that a new electrical system shoud be designed and implemented, since the existing one has several faults and incompatibilities. The installation of a system to protect against atmospheric discharges is also advised.
