St Regis carpark cui

[Relagsingh]

if like that better put kerosene & burn the entire carpark then can claim 100%

 

Why don't u pour kerosene on yrself?

[Ken4555]

Ok lah. How often do you see carpark like this get washed by rain water? At least they will have a clean carpark to park their expensive rides. Anyway it's their insurance company who suffer the loss. I believe their annual insurance not cheap.

 

but isnt a flood an act of god?... or nowadays insurance plans do payouts for acts of god?...

[Ken4555]

Really wonder wad r the authorities going to say this time?

 

 

On Jul 22, 2010 , MM Lee said: "Whatever we do, when we get extraordinary rainfall - like we had recently - no amount of engineering can prevent flooding.

 

"There is a limited amount of space that you can dig underground, there is a limited amount of space that you can have run-offs for canals. And if you have extraordinary rainfall, well, you've got to prepare for it.

 

"But of course, everyone expects everything to be perfect - Singaporeans expect everything to be perfect - which we try to do, but some things which are beyond any... it is "Act of God". Unless you want to lose half the roads and have canals."

 

what else is there to say?... all said liao as above...

 

and anyways if anything really does go wrong, hey... "It's an honest mistake let's move on"

[Ken4555]

if you can earn that type of money... will you be sour grapes?

 

only if you feel you can't earn that money thats y sour grapes... = concede defeat

God made rain, Man made the carpark..... so how?

[Saabretooth]

They heckle and gloat at other's misfortunes while their lives haven't really worked out well.

 

Yep, seems to be the case of the have's and have-nots.

 

 

 

[Aimnfire]

if i'm not mistaken i read somewhere

the pump to pump out water was not working

 

usually buildings with underground/tunnels must have pumping system to pump out water before it flood

unless the pump that was install cannot cope with the amount of rain water

[Ken4555]

God made rain, Man made the carpark..... so how?

 

but still it was the water mah...

 

if a tree fell on your car, act of god?... but the government planted the tree there.... it was not naturally there... so how?...

[Axel123]

The building should be made calamity resistant. The construction companies should use best and advance techniques for the drainage system.

I am so glad HdBee is building MSCP instead of basement carparks....

 

Then again, maintenance regimes of these basement water pumps need to be reviewed.

Any civil engineers or experienced folks can advise if there are any failover scenerios?

[Actan72]

From the pictures, some sedans model are not so greatly affected. think still can drive with flooded floors.

:D
