KUALA LUMPUR (July 5): GDB Holdings Berhad marked the structure topping out of Menara Hap Seng 3 in Kuala Lumpur city centre, two weeks ahead of schedule.
In a statement today, GDB said it had been appointed by Hap Seng Land Development (Puchong) Sdn Bhd as the main contractor to build the RM300 million Menara Hap Seng 3, at the intersection of Jalan Sultan Ismail and Jalan P. Ramlee in Kuala Lumpur city centre.
The 26-storey high-rise building in Kuala Lumpur city centre consists of 6-level basement, 5 levels of Retail and food and beverage (F&B) Podium, 20 floors of office space and 1 rooftop F&B outlet.
The entire scope of works encompassed the provision of earthworks, piling, substructure and superstructure works within a short construction period of 26 months.
In construction, the topping out represents the building’s structure reaching its highest point.
GDB managing director Cheah Ham Cheia said executing the project within a short timeframe was an aggressive benchmark for high-rise construction.
He said in addition to the extensive scope of services, the undertaking was carried out in a highly-challenging location.
“The project’s location in the city centre meant that we were required to adhere to stringent regulations on the timing of construction activities, maneuver within the tight space constraints, and consider the close proximity of surrounding buildings, amongst others.
“With the topping out ceremony today, GDB is scheduled to complete the project by the contractual completion date of Dec 31, 2019,” he said.
