Due to its geographical location and maritime exposure, Singapore’s climate is distinguished by uniform temperature and pressure, high humidity and plentiful rainfall. As such, monsoon season in Singapore may result in flooding due to the obsolete stormwater management.
The aim of this report is to propose to Singapore Institute of Technology’s (SIT) division of estates the implementation of pervious concrete along a walkway connecting the back gate and USC. Therefore, the chances of a slip and fall incident can be greatly abbreviated.
In this report, the benefits and limitations of implementing the solution are further addressed, along with alternative solutions and potential issues. Also, various research was carried out to obtain information to justify the proposed solution. Primary methods include conducting a survey on campus and consulting professors who are skilled in the relevant field of study. Secondary research methods include obtaining statistics on cases of a slip and fall incident on campus, and standard measurements of floor surfaces in Singapore set by Building Construction Authority (BCA): Code of Accessibility.
