Ministeral visit to the old court house

On my way to the Miyazu plant at Tg Malim, Noreen of Spaz called to remind me to attend the afternoon's meeting as the minister was scheduled to visit the building site at 4pm.

Told Noreen that I was on my way to Tg Malim and was uncertain if I could return to KL on time to attend the meeting. Told her to get in touch with Mdm Tan so that a representative from ZL can be in attendance at the ministeral visit.

I was considering turning back and aborting the Tg Malim meeting, but finally decided to press on with the visit to the Miyazu plant.

Found out later that Noreen did contact Mdm Tan. Mdm Tan sent KK Ng to represent ZL at the ministeral visit.

Miyazu Plant Tg Malim

11am. Defects liability meeting at the Miyazu plant in Tg Malim. C & S defects noted are : ground water ingress in one of the machinery pits, lipped channel member in one of the parallel chord trusses buckled slightly and the filler material at the floor slab expansion joints are damaged.

At the machinery pit ground water seeped into the structure through cracks in the rc wall. To treat the leakage pressure grout the cracks.

The buckling in the lipped channel top chord member is probably due to a fabrication defect. However, the truss is still stable and in no danger of falling down.

the damaged in the filler material is due to the workers stepping over it. I am thinking of replacing the damaged filler with cementitious grout.
