The Legislative Council Member of Building, Surveying and Urban Planning and Gardening, Mr. Xie Weizheng, together with senior building and surveyor Huang Shining, went to Changkang Village today (11th). Xie Weizheng said that according to his understanding, there is no major problem with the design of the exhaust pipe of the building. It was the poor manual work of individual units when changing the canal that caused the virus to spread.
Surveyor estimates that there is a gap in the connection point after changing the canal
Huang Shining, who had visited the Amoy Gardens in 2003 when he inspected the canals and proposed improvements, said that the toilet compartment changes were not uncommon, let alone by professionals, and were only done by professionals. He was only a general renovation project. It is estimated that when the unit changed the canal, a gap appeared in the connection point, causing the virus to enter the house.
When opening the exhaust fan, open the window to ensure that the gap is closed
Regarding how to reduce germs and viruses entering the house, Xie Weizheng made two suggestions. First: Due to the small size of the toilet in the unit, when the exhaust fan is turned on, strong wind may increase the spread of the virus. He suggested that when the exhaust fan is turned on, Open windows at the same time to enhance air flow.
Second: If a resident finds that the exhaust pipe is not sealed or emits an odor, the gap should be sealed with glass glue or plastic wrap and adhesive tape, and the building management office should also send staff on the rooftop every day to bleach 1:99. Disinfect the drain pipe.
Xie Weiyi also urged the Housing Department to review the relevant units. If there are any leaks or changes, improvement projects should be arranged as soon as possible, and guidelines should be issued to remind residents to pay attention to the relevant canal opening changes.
