What is <\/span>Bill 122<\/span> and why was it created? <\/span><\/h2>\n

The RBQ created <\/span>Bill 122<\/span><\/a> to ensure owners have their <\/span>multi level parking<\/span>s and building facades inspected at least every five years by a member of the <\/span>Ordre des Ing\u00e9nieurs du Qu\u00e9bec<\/span>.

This law came into place after the occurrence of two fatal incidents that could have been prevented. <\/span><\/p>\n

In the second case, it was a concrete panel which was detached from the 18th floor of the frontage of a hotel, crushing a woman. The installation of the concrete panels would not have been done properly according to the indications.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]\n
