Background

Cervejas De Moçambique, being in Beira, is frequently hit by tropical depressions, storms and cyclones.

In March of 2018, Cyclone Idai caused significant damage to the infrastructure, specially to the roofs. In 2019, repairs were done on some roof structures. However, the Cyclone Chalane on December 2020 highlighted severe waterproofing problems to the Packhall roof, with large amounts of water pouring into the building.

Concerned about the safety of the people and property, as well as the significant impact this may have on operations and food hygiene standards, Cervejas De Moçambique approached RHDHV to do an assessment of all the roof structures in the brewery, with special attention to Packhall, Un/Loading Bay and the Old Cellars, which are most critical.
