Event synopsis:
Payment disputes in the construction industry have become a common problem in Malaysia and in most countries, especially
in developing countries. About 50% of Malaysia construction projects experience Under Payment, Late Payment and/or Non-
Payment issues which causes complication to the projects to the extent that some of the projects are abandoned wherein
innocent third-party purchasers become victims of delayed and abandoned projects.
One of the main elements for the complication is the client’s inadequate finance or main contractor’s poor cash flows for the
project. The amount of money involved in construction industry is enormous and when payments from the clients are
delayed, most of the contractors/sub-contractor would not be able to bear the heavy day to day construction expenses by
themselves which includes the cost of material, labour and other necessary day to day expenses. The issue of payment
dispute would eventually result in time over-run, cost over-run and total abandonment of the project.
Therefore, the construction payment dispute requires to be dealt with at worst, a cheaper, quicker, simpler, legal binding and
enforceable resolution enabled by an adjudication proceeding, which is what The Construction Industry Payment and
Adjudication Act (CIPAA) has specially drafted to resolve the issues with provisions such as PROHIBITION of Conditional
Payment, to STREAMLINE payment procedures and provide REMEDIES for the recovery of payment.
The Construction Industry Payment and Adjudication Act (CIPAA) 2012 has come into operation with effect since 15 April
2014. The talk will cover the definition and key features of CIPAA, construction culture and payment risks, as well as the
adjudication process under CIPAA. In addition, identification of construction payment problems, their impact and resolution
and how to conduct payment recovery through CIPAA proceeding will also be discussed during the talk.
The Sarawak Government has unveiled the state budget for a range of ambitious infrastructure projects including the Second Trunk Road, upgrading of coastal roads and improving interconnection with rural areas. The projects will require proven solutions to complex geotechnical and engineering challenges. Roads will be constructed in low lying and mountainous terrains and over river courses. Deep large diameter bored piles will provide the best technical and cost effective solution for bridge foundations. Ground improvement works will be required to provide a suitable foundation for ‘at grade’ roads in low lying areas. Roads will need to be cut into mountainous terrains and protected with retaining walls and slope stabilisation methods. In this seminar the speakers will share their extensive experience from past projects with the participants. The seminar will be divided into three topics:
1. Construction of large diameter bored pile exceeding 100 m deep,
2. Retaining wall system for slope stability and deep basement in urban area,
3. Ground improvement techniques.
Objectives:
1. To provide the Engineer with a better understanding on the construction method of large diameter deep bored pile.
2. To provide knowledge on different types of retaining wall systems for slope stability and deep basement in urban areas.
3. To introduce different techniques used for ground improvement.
Who Should Attend
• Design engineers, consultant engineers, foundation professionals who desire to have a better understanding of large diameter deep bored piles, retaining wall systems and ground improvement techniques.
• Graduate Engineers, Professional Engineers and/ or Professional Engineers with Practicing Certificate
