still long way more to go guys...

the contract is 36 months (incl site clearing, piling etc all the way til building completion) from Feb 2023 until Feb 2026...

now 10 months into the contract...
site clearing done
piling all done, completed in end july mar...
structures ok la so far... block1 level 6/7... block 2 level 15/16... block 3 level 10/11...

hopefully hit the highest floors by Q3 next year...

not really IBS, at least not precast.. this one is using aluminium system formworks

aluminium formworks such as KUMKANG, MIVAN, PLYTEC etc...

basically the mould is put up, then concrete poured in with the rebars etc...

system formwork is very common nowadays, IBS is still very new.

last longer or not, it is quite similar, as both as reinforced concrete...

only difference IBS is made off-site, in a factory, and assembled on site...

system formwork is more in-situ works...

hehe nope, but i do go see the site about twice a month

hehe nope, but i do go see the site about twice a month

yes it is...

currently, due to not enough larger scale IBS players, IBS costs are still higher than aluminium formworks. these larger scale guys are like those in Singapore - which there is not enough players in Msia so far.

while i agree that the quality of the IBS finished products are more consistently controlled rather than on-site works, the jointing areas (IBS is like LEGO, put up pieces together) continue to face a lot of scrutiny and criticism due to leakages - well our Msian thunderstorm, rain and wind are crazier than many other areas with plenty of IBS (such as UK). In-situ on site works are more monolithic, as the vertical and horizontal elements have a more proper joint, rather than just plain grouts.

furthermore with our speed right now, the progress is still very much ahead, so no worries about that.

yes will do, soon soon... next few days gonna fly drone again there

block 1 - level 10
block 2 - level 19
