Komtar Experienced Water Inundation Affecting Levels 57 to 59 and Potentially Lower Floors

Water cascaded down the stairwells of Komtar from Level 61 to Level 57 following an accidental release from a water tank on November 22. The incident, which occurred around 12:25 PM, impacted Levels 59, 58, and 57, with the possibility of several more lower floors being affected, though floors in the middle section of the building were spared.
Accidental Water Tank Discharge During Maintenance

The primary cause of the water release was identified as contractors from Pleninex Engineering Sdn Bhd, who were undertaking maintenance work on the fire system. While working in the plant room at Level 61, workmen inadvertently opened a strainer for the water tank without first shutting off the water supply. This action led to the entire contents of the tank being discharged, resulting in the significant water flow down the building's stairwells.
Response and Immediate Aftermath

PDC Setia Urus Sdn Bhd, the building's management, responded promptly to the incident. The maintenance team was able to stop the water flow once alerted. As a precautionary measure, the blue lifts, which serve the ground floor up to Level 61, were temporarily shut down for inspection to ensure there was no water damage to their systems.
Resolution and Return to Normal Operations

By 2:00 PM on the same day, PDC Setia Urus confirmed that the majority of the water mess had been cleared and that business operations had returned to normal. Investigations confirmed that electrical systems in the affected areas were undamaged, and lifts serving the middle floors remained operational. The incident did not disrupt the overall water supply to the Komtar building.
