I am currently staying at Taman Arked, Dengkil since 2016. Taman Arked, Paya Indah Wetland & PLKN Kuala Langat (now converted into Penjara Satelit Kuala Langat) is the nearest neighbourhood of GC.
To access this area, you need to come from Jalan Dengkil-Banting from Pekan Dengkil or Bukit Changgang. since 2017, this is one of the off-road access for all lori tanah Gamuda to come into GC. Another access is from Bukit Cheding if i’m not mistaken. Based on GC masterplan layout, this will be nearby their southern development (semi-d/bungalow).
Actually, Cybersouth project and GC is just next to another. Separated by Elite highway. From Jalan Dengkil-Banting you can access Cybersouth area using off-road passsing by the legendary abandoned Sri Dengkil Mining Dredge.
Geographically, there are lot of abandoned mines around this area esp nearby Paya Indah Wetland. Taman Arked is not affected by the recent Dec2021 flood disaster & i guess it is almost impossible for this area to be affected since there are lot of deep abandoned mines which can be the kolam takungan air hujan. Plus, there is a lake of crocodile (buaya tembaga) inside the Paya Indah Wetland. I think if this area banjir for sure all the buaya will go out lah.
To be frank just be careful with other lakes/mines around this area, there are few cases of crocodile been spotted nearby Taman Arked & Paya Indah Wetland areas.
Structure wise, i hope Gamuda can do better than OIB. Most of terrace houses at Taman Arked experienced ‘tanah mendap’. Some of local ppl here said this is because of the water movement due to kawasan paya & lombong.
Sorry to hear about the condition in your taman. Soil profiling has long been investigated even before the commencement of Taman Arked housing construction back in 2006. Settlement always happens to all construction sites, hence the need for more ground improvement to compensate for it especially in soft soil with low bearing capacity.
Based on regional borehole data & subsurface soil analysis in the labs, higher compressibility was observed generally around Banting area, followed by medium compressibility surrounding the banks of Langat River & around KLIA, and a lower compressibility nearby Paya Indah territory.
In the past, settlement has largely occurred around the Langat river due to drawdown of groundwater from commercial water pumping. Since then, tight regulatory processes/licensed permits have been implemented to reduce degradation, such as increasing co-management between private & government in groundwater management to reduce peatfires/maintain soil equillibrium, as well as Paya Indah rehab with periodic EIA reports (Environmental Impact Assessment).
Agree with you regarding flood from rising sea levels being the least of concerns given the higher ground elevation. However, maintaining the groundwater equillibrium will be important to prevent untoward/accelerated settlement, with high hopes on developers to deliver through their engineering expertise.
