Uğur Diş Concept showed its support in the affected areas by supplying food and provisions to earthquake victims and by backing the effort to clear the rubble of buildings that collapsed after the quake.

The earthquake caused widespread damage and destruction across many provinces including Kahramanmaraş, Hatay, Gaziantep, Osmaniye, Malatya, Adana, Diyarbakır, Şanlıurfa, Adıyaman and Kilis, leaving thousands homeless and in need of basics such as food and shelter.

Food aid campaign

Understanding the urgency, we acted quickly and organised a food aid campaign, collecting non-perishable and fresh supplies from our staff and the local community. The food was then distributed to the affected regions, delivering the most needed provisions to those in need.

Debris and assessment

Beyond food aid, the company supported the removal of debris from collapsed buildings. Our team of experienced architects and construction experts worked hand in hand with local authorities and volunteers to help clear rubble and assess the damage.

“A small act of kindness can make a big difference in people’s lives.”

Lessons for future projects

Alongside helping victims, we carried out extensive research in the earthquake zone, examining the failure points of column and beam systems in collapsed buildings. We took notes with our team to develop practical examples that can be applied in our future projects so that similar problems are not repeated. Our commitment to finding architectural solutions and promoting safety will help ensure future buildings are better equipped to withstand natural disasters.
