Puchong landslide: Phase two of piling work 50% complete, says the police


KUALA LUMPUR: Phase two of the sheet piling work in the drain area near the landslide location at Jalan Wawasan 3/9 Taman Wawasan in Puchong is now 50% complete.

Serdang OCPD Asst Comm A. Anbalagan said that 590 sheet piles, including 375 in the phase one area, have been installed to help stop any soil movement.

"The estimated time of completion by the contractor is two weeks, depending on current weather conditions,” he told Bernama on Tuesday (Jan 2).

Even though it has been raining frequently in the past few days, there has been no soil movement reported in the area.

The landslide that occurred on Dec 16 forced 29 residents from nine terrace houses in Taman Wawasan Puchong to evacuate due to safety concerns. - Bernama
