UPDATE- Progress of Work on Failed Slope

Meeting with HCM and sub contractor this morning 10am has concluded that soil nailing is near completion, 15 percent of work left. Estimated to be completed just before CNY ie mid February. Micropilling will commence then but they are facing a hiccup of storage and place for machinery which has indirectly affecting the work progress. Mr Yap and myself have been working on this for the last one week. Micropilling will take 4 months base on 12 hrs daily. HCM indicated the whole project will complete in OCTOBER.

Work Progress on Failed Slope (W9)

HAPPY DEEPAVALI TO ALL. We all know that work has been going on but we hope and expect HCM to expedite it. After Raya , about 29th September 2009, HCM has started to do back fill on the soil nailed stretch along Wangsa 9. In about 3 weeks time from now HCM will commence micropiling. We are now waiting for an appointment next week to see respective authority to discuss on:

1. Confirmation of time for us to return
2. Make good of houses with cracks
3. Details of design
4. Laying telecom cable underground
5. Landscaping

On a separate matter Ganesan will not be doing his usual rounds from 17-19 October. He will be replaced by someone else, Kumar. Kindly note.

HCM-Residents meeting @ HCM site office

Dear residents,

Today marks our 6th month since the tragedy. We remember and pray for those who are more unfortunate compared to us. On Thursday, 4th of June, affected residents from house 17,19, 23 and myself had a meeting with HCM, Ir Kamal. A cordial and committed contractor, is willing to look into our requests:

1. Responsible and repair cracks
2. To release the report on cracks
3. General upkeeping of Wangsa9
4. Future 'external' water piping (follow up)
5. With unexpected extra 'job' on the failed slope, we have been told that there will be delay in going back to our properties. Will update you accordingly.

VERY IMPORTANT- For HCM to attend to the CRACKS , all residents have to please go back to your property to identify if there is a need for HCM to do it for you. Site office is always open. See engineer En. Borhan and liaise with him how he can be accessible to your property when they need to. Residents must take own interest and prerogative to attend to this. Those who don't feed back , I would assume that their properties are in good conditions.

Kindly note. I have highlighted Wangsa 9 issues to the press last night and NO policemen and security were also been mentioned. I missed that out in my blog earlier. I need to apologise for not putting as much information as I would like to. I have been busy myself. Despite this, please know that I am still monitoring and following up on all concern issues.

Thank you and regards,

Star Interview 29Apr09 : Work Progress on W9 Failed Slope

I was interviewed by Sin Chew (Chinese media) too last week and the article appeared on Saturday 25 Apr where my feedback is residents are rather contented with the progression of work. What is still lacking is the technical communication from between JKR and residents. We have been advised not to intervene with their work and leave this to JKR which will deliver the job in qualified standard of requirement.

As on Tuesday 28 April, house owners from Wangsa 9 discovered cracks on their properties which only happened after the remedial work started by HCM. The cracks were not there before. We would like to know WHO and HOW are they going to make good of the houses? Is the stabilization work on the failed slope been carried out to the standard of expectation? What are the causes of the new cracks? Reason being as a layman's point of view, the cracks appeared due to earth movement. Apart from soil nailing on the failed slope, there suppose be micro pile on the whole stretch of Wangsa 9. This understanding was given to us in JKR BRIEFING in Menara MPAJ on 26 February 2009. To date we have not seen machinery set up for that. The failed area is an area by itself, can micro pile start at the other end of Wangsa 9 ? We were told that with proper progression of work 44 households would be able to go back to their homes by OCTOBER this year. We would like to appeal again to the MINISTRY OF WORKS and with our newly appointed Minister to address our concerns of our problems.

Thank you and regards,

YENHEE
