Water Leak

On Friday the 17th May a joint in a high-pressure water pipe which feeds core 3 failed causing water to escape in the communal areas.
Luckily as this was reported very quickly the team were able to respond within minutes and shut down the water pumps, isolate the water to the building and isolate electrical systems to stop further damage.

Water has caused damage to the common areas and the elevator in core 3 but as a result of the swift action the leak has been contained to just core 3 communal areas.

Our contractors have installed de-humidifiers to dry out the building over the weekend.

The core 3 elevator has taken the brunt of the water and as a result we have had to isolate this in the short term. As core 3 and 5 are linked at level 2 and 3 we ask that if you do need to use the elevator then please contact concierge on the core 5 intercom and utilise this buildings elevator in the interim.

As this was an unforeseen event we will be undertaking inspection of all the pressure reducing valves across the site to mitigate any risk of a future occurrence of this.

Next week there will be a lot of activity in core 3 as we restore the building to normal operation so we apologies in advance for any disruption.
