TOPICS FROM PUB
Topic 1:
Managing Allowable Peak Runoff within Proposed Development – Policy intent & Design Concepts – What Architects should know on detention/retention features, O&M considerations, submission
by Ms Eng Rui Jun, Engineer in PUB’s Catchment & Waterways Department and Ms Enid Chen, Engineer in PUB’s Catchment & Waterways Department
As Singapore faces more intense rainfall, there is a need to look beyond the public drainage infrastructure to reduce flood risks. To increase flood resilience, PUB has adopted a holistic ‘source-pathway-receptor’ approach that addresses not just the pathway (drains and canals) where the stormwater travels, but also controlling stormwater at where it falls onto the ground, (i.e.“Source” measures) and at the areas where floods may occur (i.e.“Receptor” measures).
Since Jan 2014, all developments greater than or equal to 0.2 hectares in size are required to control the peak runoff discharged from the development sites. Peak runoff reduction can be achieved through the implementation of ABC Waters design features and structural detention and retention features.
The presentation will highlight the concept of managing peak runoff at source and the various design approaches that the industry has adopted to achieve the maximum allowable peak discharge.
Topic 2:
Test Requirements – Pressure Testing for sanitary pipe works
by Mr Christian Budiman, Senior Engineer in PUB’s Water Reclamation (Network) Department
Nobody would want to live or work in a building with sewage smell. Sewage smell may enter buildings through sanitary pipe leak due to bad workmanship or defects on the pipe. Air test to a sanitary plumbing system is a critical test to ensure that plumbing system installed is free from leak. It is even more critical in current building design whereby sanitary pipes are enclosed to improve architectural design layout. PUB has required mandatory air test for new buildings since 2017. This briefing is targeted to the QPs to give an understanding on what an air test is and how the air test are conducted.
Topic 3:
Common Submission Mistakes/Errors
by Ms Jennifer Yeo, Engineer in PUB’s Centralised Services Department
Errors and incomplete submission often result in resubmission and unnecessary delays to projects. We will share on the common submission mistakes and errors and the ways to prevent and avoid these mistakes/errors during submission.
TOPICS FROM NEA
Topic 1:
To Improve Quality of Noise Assessment Report
by Ms Teh Swee Kheng, Senior Engineer in NEA’s Central Building Plan Department (CBPD)
Prior to issuance of Temporary Occupation Permit (TOP) or Certificate of Statutory Completion (CSC) clearance, a noise assessment is required to be carried out for new air-conditioning and mechanical ventilation systems installed in non-industrial buildings, and new residential and noise-sensitive developments located within 70m from land traffic noise source. The speaker will share on common issues encountered during evaluation of noise assessment reports and the dos and don’ts for noise assessment.
Topic 2:
Sharing on Pneumatic Waste Conveyance System (PWCS) – Design Considerations for Architects
by Mr Ong Leng Teck, Head of the Waste Collection System unit in NEA’s Waste and Resource Management Department (WRMD)
The presentation will cover the COPEH requirements and design considerations for PWCS, in particular the requirements for the bin centre and refuse chutes and hoppers. The presentation is aimed at architects for new developments that are implementing PWCS. This is increasingly relevant since HDB and JTC have started to implement PWCS, and NEA has required new development applications for strata-titled residential developments with at least 500 dwelling units that are submitted to URA from 1 Apr 2018 to include PWCS.
