- "We are pleased with the decision by DBKL, which acknowledges the positive findings regarding the safety and stability aspects outlined in the independent report," said TCS director Datuk Tee Chai Seng.
KUALA LUMPUR (May 2): TCS Group Holdings Bhd (KL:TCS) said the group has received the Kuala Lumpur City Hall's (DBKL) nod to resume construction works for the J Satine mixed development project in Wangsa Maju.
"Following a thorough review and acceptance of the independent check consultant report, DBKL has granted approval for work to recommence on Phase 3 (SOHO Block) and Phase 2 (Blocks A and B) of the J Satine development," the construction group said in a bourse filing on Friday.
As for Phase 1 (Blocks C and D), construction will commence once the required foundation strengthening works are fully completed and verified by other parties, the group said.
"We are pleased with the decision by DBKL, which acknowledges the positive findings regarding the safety and stability aspects outlined in the independent report," said TCS director Datuk Tee Chai Seng.
He reiterated that the incident was not caused by the group, citing test results which confirmed the construction quality exceeded required strength and was not due to material or workmanship issues.
In November last year, DBKL ordered the suspension of construction work at the J Satine project following an investigation into residents’ complaints about an explosion at the site, which revealed cracks in the shear walls, columns, and floors of units from the eighth floor and above.
“We want to assure all stakeholders that we have adhered strictly to all health and safety standards and protocols throughout the construction process,” said Tee, adding that the group is working with the developer and consultants to investigate the cracks at the project.
TCS offers construction services for buildings, infrastructure, and civil and structural works across Malaysia. The group is also engaged in civil engineering projects, including earthworks, road and drainage construction, highways and bridges, as well as water supply and sewerage systems.
Shares of TCS closed unchanged at 16 sen, valuing the company at RM96.1 million. The counter has risen 14.29% so far this year.
