Contractor to pay for subpar slab in 63-storey S’pore condo project
Issues with the concrete transfer slab were detected during regular assessments by the contractor, Woh Hup, and the developer, Allgreen Properties.
Allgreen Properties, the main contractor for the 63-storey Promenade Peak condominium project in Singapore, announced that they will bear the expenses for demolishing and replacing a concrete transfer slab that did not meet the required standards. The issue was identified during routine quality assessments conducted with the contractor, Woh Hup (Private) Limited.
Allgreen Properties' managing director, Tho Leong Chye, stated that replacing the concrete transfer slab was the most responsible course of action to maintain the development's quality and integrity. The replacement process is projected to take a few months, with Woh Hup covering the costs, ensuring buyers' financial stability. Promenade Peak, slated to be the world's tallest prefabricated, prefinished volumetric construction residential building, features 596 units, with 70% already sold.
The developer aims to complete the project in the second quarter of 2030, although the exact reason behind the slab's quality issues remains undisclosed. The Building and Construction Authority of Singapore acknowledged the rarity of such slab issues and closely monitored the project's progress. Woh Hup is also facing a legal dispute in India, where Lee Kim Tah (Pte) Ltd, an equal partner in an Indian joint venture, accused Woh Hup chairman Kim Yong and his brother Eugene of breaching fiduciary duties by failing to address corruption allegations involving a senior executive.
