- We went to Pan Sheng Development Project for a site visit. This is a 2 storey terrace house project. It is located near Kingfisher Park. This site visit was conducted by Mr. Fabian.
The first section we went to is the section where they are doing the concreting for ground slab.

-Those pipes coming out from the ground are the M&E pipes. As in the picture, the bigger diameter pipes is for the toilet bowl.
-Those starter bars coming out from the ground beam will be the re-bar for apron slabs (short bar) and for slabs (long bar).

-Bunch of formwork for different size and shapes of footing were placed at one corner of the site.

-This section where they are doing the first floor column. A number of column has finished.

-Workers pouring concrete into the formwork using a pale. For a small size column, this method is a satisfactory.

-to safeguard the piling base, usually the contractor will pinned a 4 points offset wooden sticks.

-Then using the footing grid line box to navigate and mark the piling points later on. Different size and shape, depends on the design.
-This project use bakau for piling, instead of the RC piles. Emphasize by the government as an eco-friendly approach.

-This piling sleeves made specially for bakau only. It helps to joint bakau pile.

-Piling machine for small diameter pile (6-12 inch diameter pile)

-Using manual method to bend steel bar into links, for RC.

-Excavator and backhoe, can be found in most all construction site.

-Went to Seri Kayangan Apartment, in LKH to inspect defects on the unit Houses, that were affected by the rain that had been going on almost every evening here in K.K. This was a joint inspection, with Mr. Alex from City Top Sdn. Bhd. They are the specialist in Roofing. Basically this inspection not just to inspect,determine the cause of the leaking, but also to determine the cost and duration for the repairing.

-It was found that the total cost will be around RM400 (Inlcluding inspection fees).

-we can see there was a leak from the roof, seep through the plaster ceiling.



-Improper gutter installation was one of the main cause for the leak problems.

-After the lunch break, we then head over to another unit at Seri Maya block Apartment. The purchaser of unit G-5-1 ha just signed for SPA. Hence inspection on the unit must be done to determine the defects.


-Most of the tiles are either not matching in colour, cracked, uneven level & etc. Therefore, we will request for replacement for all the tiles.

-Another defect here is water seep through the wall from the hair crack due to inperfect installation of window's frame.
