This is how Jadehill solution to control flood. Sharing this and wanted to get some answer as well.

Gamuda always try to innovative on engineering solution. Some may work and some don't ( just like the smart tunnel whereby have won many international award & reduce traffic jam)

I was told this " Jade Hill" system storm water project is in progress.

I saw very familiar "others" from the Damansara perdana project by this developer MK and when it rain. I am like O.M.G

Can any engineer comment/ independent verify for the benefits of everyone? so that we can have a better understanding and make a better decision on our investment. Not just rely on what developer saying.

Dear Tikaram,

I would say that this is but Civil Engineering at Work working hand in hand with the landscape designer with the blessing from the owner should there be any extra cost, extra time and extra land needed.

In sizable project and land, extra ingenious engineering concept and innovation could be put in place to make the living and working environment much more efficient and comfortable.

Gamuda is responsive to the flood situation and takes up the initiative to improve the situation. Commendable act!

sorry . don;t understand you la

u sound like so bias on developer side. Are you SA ? or developer staff?

Sorry if I give you the wrong impression of siding the developer or any other party.

Am actually speaking up for the fellow civil engineers.

and try to explain that the ingenious civil engineering design could only be realized if the owner understands the concept and is willing to spend extra money to carry out the proposed works. It also subjected to availability of land and space as well as the time frame to complete the said works.

Otherwise, projects are always bounded by time and cost and certain sound engineering although beneficial to the ultimate end users got shelved and don't get to to be implemented due to the the original budget that has been fixed.

ok,

understood now.

Can you advice if the Jade Hill flood control system workable or not? Or the developer just try their luck?

Actually I'm wondering why they only do it now? After the flood.... Shouldn't they have taken this into consideration first before selling this concept to the buyers "living by the lake'? Heard a few houses were flooded but no response by the developer to the victims. Now only doing the work & they should considering so many houses right in ront of the lake! Very dangerous! And now rainy season.....

hihi,

new member of lowyat. RedVelvetQueen

I did asked the staff at jadehill. They have actually started the progress 1 year plus. mainly on the middle section and low section. The upper section not yet completed.

I wanted to know if this solution workable or not from engineer. If it is workable maybe other developer can also do this? especially I am from cameran highland and we always can copy jadehill ways.

Hi ya!

I hope it will work this time round! For the sake of the present residents at the lake & also the flood victims! Most of them moved in less than 2 years ago...imagine the fear & losses! Perhaps those with engineering background can share their views if the method they approached can work or not? Quite a joke really - Gamuda supposed to be specialist in storm management system can go wrong on this one!

One of the USP is near to Kajang, we like Kajang because of future MRT and a lot of big developer actually own land there (not in the centre but nearby).

Hi any engineer can confirm this developer method. workable or not?

It's like asking whether a bottle is big enough when you do not know what is the volume of the water to be contained.

It will work provided the volume considered for the retention structures is huge enough and the capacity of the drains have been considered for the worst rainfall anticipated.

And again, design could only cater for whatever anticipated. Whatever outside the anticipated range, it won't work.

deeper the Jade Hills lake.

From my recent visit to Jadehills. It is really shaping up with more and more houses got completed and road built and more people moving in. It's going to change the view when the high rise service apartment and commercial area coming online. At that time, it would attract even more interest in the development.

hope we can get our key before june 2013. ( photos taken last week) ......the row behind our units are late handover already.

@Gangho
the so call luxury jadites suites ( photos download from one website) look like medium cost flat and not so luxury if 4 blocks in combine , selling 500K is overprice already. They should use more glass....adding this the next to another housing developer bloking nice view from swiming pool level with high hill cut. inviting future landslide next to jadites suites. scare la.

Not very sure on your " It's going to change the view"?

Gamuda needs to hand over my unit by Feb 2013 according to the contract.

Agree with you that facade of the service apartment is a little bit out but the white color would definitely blend into the whole development. Hope that the facade design would be changed and that the landscaping would help.

Jade Hills Shoplot handing over soon, will start business soon.
