Concrete transfer slab at 63-storey condo Promenade Peak failed quality checks during construction
BCA said issues involving concrete transfer slabs are uncommon
In the construction of Promenade Peak, a 63-storey condominium in River Valley, a concrete transfer slab has failed quality checks and will be dismantled and replaced. This slab redirects and transfers the building's load from upper floors to columns or walls below and is used when column or wall locations differ between floors.
Allgreen Properties managing director Tho Leong Chye announced that the slab did not meet stringent quality standards during internal quality assessments conducted with the main contractor, Woh Hup. The decision was made to replace the slab entirely to ensure the development's quality and integrity. Despite concerns, the spokesperson for Promenade Peak assured there would be no delays in the completion, which is expected in the first quarter of 2030.
The project, which has 596 units and is 70% sold, will be the world's tallest prefabricated prefinished volumetric construction residential building, featuring the highest infinity pool in Singapore. The Building and Construction Authority (BCA) stated that such issues with concrete transfer slabs are uncommon and that the project parties identified the concerns during regular inspections. BCA is closely following the project's progress to ensure safe completion.
