PowerPoint Presentation

[Virtual Presenter] Good morning everyone, our presentation today is about STI Residences and the solutions they are providing to prevent flooding in their community. We will take a look at the advantages of a drainage system and a rainwater collection tank. We look forward to sharing our insights with you. Let's get started..

[Virtual Presenter] This presentation outlines solutions for flooding which involve a drainage system and a rainwater collection tank. To ensure compliance with regulations, it is essential to understand the height codes of the six towers. As an example, the Building Height Limit (BHL) of a C-3 lot is set to 180m according to the first code. The second code sets a Floor Area Ratio (FAR) target of 16, which is likely to surpass the 180m BHL limit. Additionally, the Gross Floor Area (GFA) in the Quezon City ordinances does not include vertical penetrations like exit stairs and elevator shafts, while the National Building Code (NBC) counts these areas in the GFA. The six towers comprise two point towers, three bar towers, and one office tower..

[Virtual Presenter] Our proposal consists of 6 towers: Two point towers, three bar towers, and one office tower. Tower 6, the tallest point tower, will reach a maximum height of 180 meters, the maximum height allowed by the local code. This will exceed the FAR 16 target initially set by the client. The Gross Floor Area calculations include the vertical penetrations mandated by the National Building Code and Quezon City Ordinances, such as the exit stairs and elevator shafts..

[Virtual Presenter] STI Residences has implemented a cutting edge drainage system and rainwater collection tank to help protect against flooding. This system allows for the water to seep into the ground naturally, and the rainwater collection tanks are able to store any excess overflow. With proper maintenance, the area is able to be protected from flooding and is a great example of an eco-friendly solution..

[Virtual Presenter] Proposed Solutions to Flooding include a drainage system, tapping into existing provisions along EDSA, and a Rainwater Collection Tank. Neither of these solutions will be discharging into Aranan Creek. This will ensure the safety and comfort of our residents while protecting the environment..

[Virtual Presenter] The Rainwater Collection Tank will be designed to capture surface runoff and prevent it from reaching nearby villages. No discharge will be made to the Aranan Creek in case the tank reaches its full capacity. Pumps will be installed in order to utilize existing drainage tapping points along EDSA. The collected rainwater will be used for other purposes inside the project. Moreover, it will also benefit existing communities since the current uncontrolled surface run-off will no longer contribute to the flooding as it will be utilized or discharged in a controlled manner. This will help in reducing the effects of flooding. The estimated minimum volume of the Rainwater Collection Tank is 302 cu. m..

[Virtual Presenter] STI Residences requires a water supply of 1,500 cu.m per day to meet the demand of 5,886 units. This will be facilitated through coordination with Maynilad Water Services. A drainage system will also be installed to ensure the existing subdivisions in the vicinity remain unaffected and provide a holistic solution to flooding and sustainable water usage..

[Virtual Presenter] The proposed water supply and drainage system for STI Residences consists of a Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) with an underground area of 1,100 sqm and any overflow connected to the main sewer line along EDSA. It is estimated that 80% of the water requirement, or 1,200 cubic meters, will be domesticated wastewater. This proposed system ensures STI Residences are kept safe from flooding and helps reduce contamination from wastewater..

[Virtual Presenter] A major problem for some cities is traffic, an issue compounded by increasing populations, insufficient public transportation, and inadequate infrastructure. To address this, we propose several approaches. Smart traffic light systems adjusting signal timing and vehicle levels can be employed to reduce congestion. Designated bus lanes can encourage public transport use and reduce traffic. An effective network of bike lanes with incentives can make cycling a viable transport alternative. Parking management solutions can also help to alleviate gridlock. These approaches can be adapted to the city's unique needs, and when implemented together can reduce traffic and its associated environmental impacts..

[Virtual Presenter] Potential impact of the STI Residences project during construction will be addressed to ensure safety, health and environmental sustainability. Measures include perimeter closure of the site, protection of existing trees, usage of existing paint technology to control emissions, regular preventive maintenance for all vehicles and equipment, and sprinkling of water using a water tank, especially during dry season. To reduce the impact of the traffic during construction, there will be no street parking along T. Benitez Street, dedicated personnel to direct traffic, and coordination with the local government and concerned agencies. During operation, there will be implementation of appropriate traffic management systems, no loading and unloading or bus stops, an overpass, drop-off inside the property, one-way schemes and adequate parking spaces in accordance with the national building code. Project provides a total of 2,965 parking slots, with a minimum of 1,339 slots required as per the code..

[Virtual Presenter] It is essential to address air, water, and soil pollution if we are to protect the environment and ensure the health and safety of our citizens. To this end, we have come up with a few solutions: implementing more stringent regulations on industrial emissions, promoting more efficient use of resources, and investing in modern technologies. Additionally, we have developed a drainage system and a rainwater collection tank to mitigate flooding and prevent the spread of inevitable pollutants. Taking these steps will allow us to take meaningful action to reduce environmental pollution and create a healthier, more sustainable tomorrow..

[Virtual Presenter] At STI Residences, we take serious measures to ensure air pollution is kept to a minimum. During construction, we have perimeter closure of the area, maintain existing trees and use existing paint technology. Preventive maintenance is also put in place for all equipment and vehicles, while water is sprinkled with a water tanker every day during the dry season. All trucks are additionally covered with tarpaulin during hauling operations. For operations, gensets are placed in a separate closed area, with a filter, and undergo regular maintenance and testing. These efforts are some of the solutions we provide to reduce air pollution and ensure the safety and wellbeing of our residents..

[Virtual Presenter] Creating a buffer zone and perimeter fence to look after the welfare of those living nearby is of utmost importance. All vehicles and equipment should undergo frequent preventative maintenance. Narrowing construction hours to between 7am and 7pm is also necessary. Additionally, to reduce noise levels all machinery needs to be kept at least 50 meters away from residential areas, maintaining a maximum of 65 dBA..

[Virtual Presenter] STI Residences has implemented a comprehensive security system to ensure secure living for our tenants. This system consists of 24 hour secure surveillance and an electronic entry system, as well as security cameras at all entrances and exits, supplemented by regular patrols by our security personnel. We are always seeking ways to improve our tenants’ security..

[Virtual Presenter] We prioritize the welfare and safety of the nearby residents during construction, with a dedicated security personnel, trained emergency personnel and first aid kits, controlled access and warning devices in the area and structures kept away from the road. To ensure a secure and safe operation, there are regular maintenance of facilities, environmental awareness programs, health protocols like wearing of masks, and CCTV strategically placed in and around the property. We also comply with the regulations of the DENR-EMB, LLDA, Quezon City LGU, and other relevant government agencies. Thank you for your attention..
