Engineering work in Palestine in particular and the Arab world in general suffers from a lack of PEER REVIEW in reconstruction. When the owner receives the designs from the engineering offices, there is no third-party watchdog to review their work from the technical aspects. The work of engineering unions and municipalities is subject to non-detailed regulations. While detailed technical matters are often among the most important causes of the collapse of engineering ethics that come first.

The researchers are currently monitoring the reconstruction of two different sites that were subjected to the collapse of retaining walls. In spite of the repeated fall of retaining walls, we lack in our institutions in the presence of official bodies that educate and document the office of the causes of the collapse and methods of reconstruction.

This research aims to document the causes of the collapse in both cases, and to explain the methods of reconstruction that took place and the mechanism that was followed by the civil defense institutions, the union, the municipality, the governorate, and the university. It is clear that the legal responsibility rests primarily with the owners of engineering offices and the executive.
