Synopsis
Topic 1: TOP requirements for ABC Waters design features (by Mrs Ong Geok Suat)
TOP requirements for ABC Waters design features like Bioretention systems, swales, sedimentation tank, constructed wetland etc. will be discussed, especially differences between those features providing detention as per requirements specified in Code of Practice on Surface Water Drainage (COP) and those features not providing detention.
Topic 2: Common Pitfalls and Mistakes for Submission of Completion of Works for Sewerage and Sanitary Works (by Mr Goh Weiyao)
The presentation focuses on the common submission mistakes made in the submissions to Building Plan Division, PUB. Examples of submission mistakes made in Temporary Occupation Permit (TOP) and Certificate of Statutory Completion (CSC) for sewerage and sanitary applications will be shared at the presentation.
Topic 3: The important of conducting CCTV surveyor for existing drain-line connections before applying for Clearance Certificate (by Mr Steven Candra)
Ensuring good condition of sanitary system including drain-line connection from last inspection chamber (last IC) to public sewer is the duty of every member in the development project. In recent years, drain-line connection is found defective at some development projects very late upon completion of the development project. Lots of resources and cost are required to be spent to rectify this defective drain-line connection. This could be mitigated by carrying out verification & professional assessment as early during initial stage of development before coming up with proposal to re-used or lay new connection and commencement of the development works.
