Break Down Posted On: November 25, 2024 Closing On: December 3, 2024
Facade Leak Rectification
Project: Hilliana Tower
1- Background
Heavy rain revealed water leakage in multiple units and common areas of Hilliana Tower. Following a thorough inspection, it was determined that extreme weather conditions have led to the deterioration of the facade cladding sealant. The damaged sealant has resulted in gaps that allow rainwater to seep into adjacent units and lift lobbies.
2- Statement of Problem
Water leakage is evident in the following areas:
Apartments: Apt-107, 201, 304, 502, 503, 706, 802, 1004, 1104, 1106, 1203, 1204, 1206, 1404, 1502, 1503, 1604, 1605, 1606, 1702, 1703, 1706, 1902, 1903, 1906, 2003, 2102, 2103, 2106, 2201, 2206, 2302, 2306, 2401, 2406, 2503, 2504, 2505, 2602, 2603, 2604, P-12, P-01, P-Floor.
