Building renovations at the Gaza Polytechnic Institute in Khan Younis are progressing with the roof restorations underway. 

Due to the extensive damage sustained by one of the buildings, new support columns were needed in certain areas along with new walls before the new concrete roof could be cast.       

Construction of new support columns 

 Once the support columns are completed, roof work begins with the casting of the roof beams and base

 Concrete blocks arrive and are installed with steel support beams

Concrete is then cast in paneled sections 

While the new roof is being cast, the remaining buildings are being prepared for the new tile work soon to be installed on all of the roofs.
