The construction phase already done and just some touch up works such as painting and fixing the defects on going at site. There is also a night visual test proposed by Ir. Liew to make sure the silo does not have any holes when handing over to the owner.

Some of electrical and mechanical works been discussed to get the finishing date for the people from Majlis Perbandaran Kajang(MPKJ) to come and inspect the site.There are also some defects highlighted for rectification purpose as below:-

1) Some of bolt hole miss location – To fix the bolt and make sure no miss out.

2) The top fin plate to top UB flange gap is larger than 6mm and in some area reached few inches. – To rectify this problem, Ir. Liew suggests adding steel plate on both side of the beam at the part it connecting to the column.

This is to stiffener the weak part as the big gap might bend the beam if there is any heavy load acting on it for example heavy machine.

The contractor also awarded (CPC) Certificate of Practical Completion by the owner dated 03^rd May 2010 for insurance purpose for contractor. This is a certificate that will be awarded to the contractor upon job completion but the performance bond and the retention sum will be hold until the contractor finishes up all the remedial works.
