Residential Apartment Renovation / Company Staff Quarter Renovation project - A guide for my fellow colleagues in Facilities Management discipline
Challenges
The maintenance of GK I Residential quarters posed challenges to the Facilities & Support services team due to:- Heavy Seepage problems – from terrace, washrooms, shafts etc.
- Resultant of this seepage the steel reinforcements of the slabs of the rooms and staircase got rusted which resulted cracks in the slabs
- The old installed water inlet and outlet pipes were also damaged which also caused seepages which could not be addressed properly by regular repairs & maintenance activities
- The electrical fixtures were also to be changed which were partially damaged due to seepage etc.
Solutions Proposed
To address the afore-mentioned challenges it was decided:
- Water-proofing of the terrace of the Blocks and water-proofing of washrooms and toilets
- Structural repair of exposed reinforcements and damaged parts in the staircases and ceiling of flats
- Changing the Sewage and Rain water pipes externally
- Changing the external water supply pipes and overhead water tanks
- Renovating the washroom, toilet & kitchen of every flat – changing of all damaged concealed water pipes with new ones as well as installing new sanitary hardware – wash basin, western style WC, Kitchen sink etc.,
- New wall and floor tiles for Kitchen, washroom & toilet, drawing cum Dining Hall
- Polishing and Grinding of the mosaic flooring of all rooms
- Changing / Repairing of damaged / rusted windows and doors with new painting
- Internal Painting (OBD) of all flats
- External Painting (Cement based paint) of the blocks
