Concrete Corner Crisis at Bedok Industrial Park
Picture this: A four‑storey block in Bedok’s industrial hub looks like a scene from a sci‑fi movie. Part of its concrete roof decides to make a grand exit and drops the whole area. JTC Corporation has sealed off the site to keep everyone safe.
What’s the fallout?
- Pieces of the roof still dangle like to‑do lists.
- The Building and Construction Authority (BCA) is on the front lines, coordinating cleanup and safety checks.
- They’ve summoned a pro engineer to keep the job from turning into a DIY disaster.
BCA’s Quick‑Response Team
Just Sunday morning, the BCA received a red‑flag alert. They asked JTC’s owners to bring in a seasoned engineer. The engineer is now inspecting the building and is ready to advise on how to remove the rogue concrete, as well as design a permanent solution.
Beyond the Main Building
Three neighboring blocks share a similar sunshade design. They’re on the BCA’s radar to ensure no more unexpected exits from the roof.
All Clear, for Now
After a thorough assessment, the engineer and BCA confirmed that the building’s structural integrity remains intact. So, for now, the case file is closed—at least until a future incident claims the spotlight again.
