Cadangan Pelan Pindaan Untuk Pelan Bangunan Yang Telah Diluluskan (BPE980055) Pada 9/2/1999 Untuk Pembangunan Pangsapuri 13 Tingkat Yang Mengandungi 3 Blok Pangsapuri 8 Tingkat (462 Unit) Di Atas 5 Tingkat Podium Perniagaan, Tempat Kereta Dengan 1 Tingkat Basemen Letak Kereta Dan 2 Blok 9 Tingkat Kedai/Pejabat Di Atas lot 393, Seksyen 90, BT. 2 1/2, Jalan Cheras, Kuala Lumpur.

This is a renovation project for a hypermarket operator (occupant) usage, which covers 60,000 square feet of 6 storey Podium (affecting Lower Ground Floor to 4th Floor) of a completed existing building, below 462 units of 8-storey (5th to 12th floors) medium cost apartments built-up in 3 blocks.

Hacking of structure to form void for travelator

 
The scope of renovation include the following:

1. Forming of a 4mx24m void generally for Ground floor to 2^nd floor to allow installation of travelator of a hypermarket. New supporting beam/column system for the travelator is introduced as required. The design includes strengthening of existing adjacent span/panel due to lost of continuity of original continuous beam/slab condition, after omission of 1 span/panel. Sufficient propping to adjacent beam/slab was provided during the hacking process. Other consideration is to design the new structure arrangement which could accommodate the installation of the long travelator, which has problem being installed in a tight space in a completed building.

2. Introduction of new lift from Lower ground floor to 1^st floor, with a lift pit below Lower ground, which is designed to be founded on rock. The location of the lift has been carefully studied to ensure that there is no overlapping between existing foundation and the lift pit foundation.

Existing beam strengthening by using steel I-beam

3. Covering an existing 8.1mx8.1m void and converting it into hypermarket floor usage. A single panel slab is designed to be supported by the existing void surrounding beams. All beams and columns are checked and strengthened accordingly by additional steel I-beam, where necessary.

4. The entire building structure is checked and is sufficiently strengthened.

The design and drawing production period given was very short in meeting the hypermarket operator’s fixed launching date. The construction drawings and specification, which form part of the contract, is produced and executed to the high standard of zero variation, as per client’s extra-ordinary strict requirement in this special project. For ease of contractor, existing beams which required modification are shown in column frame drawings.

As this extensive renovation work was executed in the occupied building, tight and very stringent supervision to the contractor’s work was carried by our engineers, to ensure that no disastrous mistake is made by the contractor and that the safety of the apartment tenant is safeguarded.

Travelator pit below ground under construction

The renovation works was completed in end of 2003. Certification for occupation by DBKL was subsequently obtained.
