Identified Priority 1 Concerns

None
 Identified Priority 2 Concerns
1. Poor documentation
2. Steelwork roof connections to brick walls of building number 03, 05, 06, 07 and 08 are
poorly designed.

Extension of utility building not
shown in drawing.
Partial master plan not
according to scale
1st Priority 2 Concern
Our concerns are due to the
following elements seen during our
survey:
−There are no completed master
plan for the entire premises. The
factory engineer only provided us
with partial master plans.
−Most structural steel roof has no
detailed drawings. Only buildings 01
and 04 seem to have proper
documentation.
−Most of the buildings have poor
documentation that does not provide
any details.
 2nd priority 2 Concern

Our concerns are due to the

following elements seen during our
survey:
−The connection between the brick
walls or bricks masonry columns and
the structural steel roof has no
details.
−An engineering assessment is
recommended to verify all
connections.

Identified Priority 3 Concerns

• None
Overall Stability System
 We require that these items
be investigated in a Detail
Engineering Assessment.

Concerns on the stability system for wind loading and

seismic loading. There is no obvious lateral stability
system in most of the building.

Building Extents – Overall Stability System

 Some concerns are also due to the
following elements seen during our
survey:
• No compression members were
provided at the beams and the
columns joint.
• The diagonals bracings are loose
therefore not effective.
• Some of the bracings were
removed to make pathway or
brick walls.

Water Ingress at Roof Level
 No waterproofing membrane were
visible on the RC roofs of all the
buildings.

We request the installation of a

waterproofing membrane
otherwise any cracks in roof top
surfaces will allow water to seep
into the concrete slab beneath the
finishes, and cause long-term
soaking of the slab. Structural,
electrical and architectural
damage may occur if no adequate
protection is applied.
