Dislodged tiles fall from 4th storey unit at condominium
in East Coast
SINGAPORE : Dislodged tiles fell from a fourth-storey unit
at a condominium in East Coast on Thursday afternoon. Fortunately
no one was injured.
The tiles were from a window cladding at "The Summit"
along Upper East Coast Road.
Investigations by the Building and Construction Authority (BCA)
showed that the timber frame and tiles at a fourth storey unit had
been dislodged.
The BCA instructed the condo's manager to engage a professional
engineer to oversee repairs and conduct an inspection of the other
units.
Residents said this is the first time such an incident has happened
at the 15-year-old condo, which has 242 units.
