Section 2 – Observations

2.1 Diary and Scope of Visual Inspection

The visual inspection was conducted on 31st July 2025 in the in the presence of the building owner.

Non-residential Developments:
All special and critical structures and structures without redundancies have been visually inspected. All
the structures are concealed by architectural finishes, access have been made to inspect the concealed
structures. No deterioration been observed.

All areas with unconcealed structural elements have been visually inspected. No deterioration been
observed.

For indoor areas not exposed to weather and covered by suspended ceilings, at least 1 suspended
ceiling has been accessed at every 500m2 interval. No deterioration been observed.

For outdoor areas exposed to weather and covered by suspended ceiling, at least 1 suspended ceiling
has been accessed at every 250m2 interval. No deterioration been observed. The photos of the
accessed ceiling can be found as appended justifying the required coverage.

For cladded columns, at least 30% of the cladded columns has been inspection by using a
borescope/accessing via the ceiling panel to determine the condition of the structure. No deterioration
been observed. The photos of the inspected cladded columns can be found as appended justifying the
required coverage.

Notwithstanding the minimum requirements for inspection coverage indicated above, professional
judgement has been made if higher inspection coverage is required. A list of factors that will warrant
higher inspection coverage should include, but are not limited to:
i) Age
ii) Areas of high humidity/Wet area (e.g. toilet)
iii) Cause(s) and extent of defect(s) observed
iv) Exposure condition of the building (e.g. heat, proximity to aggressive environment
v) Maintenance history of past defects and past strengthening works
vi) Complex structural layout (e.g. long span, transfer structure, different structural systems)
vii) Visibility of concealed structural elements based on line of sight from inspection point of
suspended ceiling

As no defects has been identified, there is no need for additional coverage beyond the minimum
requirements.

2.2 Other observation of visual inspection

No Presence of heavy suspended fixtures has been observed in crowded locations, at food courts/
atrium/ waiting/seating areas.

According to the owner, there has been no known maintenance problems.

There no previous rectification carried out on the building structure.
