This is an old issue that was brought up by Icarus and Zorro before.
I consider myself agile but there are some very slippery tiles out there. I fear for myself, but moreso for other less agile and able bodied people out there.
Has there been any further follow up on this matter?

I asked the Management Office about this and they told me that if I had concerns about using the walkway while wet I could request the assistance of one of the security guards via the reception desk in the tower reception areas.
Could be useful as an extra pair of hands when carrying lots of shopping.

They have written some sensible letters to Cheung Kong, and the MO

Any progress reports? An insurance co should end up paying it if there are any real accidents. I guess they dun wanna be proactive?

Yeah, most likley wil lbe an insuracne co. however if it is a profesional and they can not longger work due to an accident such as a pilot, we could be up for about HK$40m... I dont what to be dramatic but accidents do happen and Im sure insurance will refuse to pay as it is plain and simple that there is a problem... Lets all encourage the owners committee to address it as soon as they can...  Any views from members of the Owners Committee as to where they are on this issue? |

Insurance companies are just as tricky and will find anyway not to pay. If they did reluctantly pay out once you can bet they would insist the path was then made safe out of our pocket before they would reinsure. I can't see them just carrying on insuring a known hazard. Worse than now as I see it. Injured person, increased premium and we still have to pay for the repairs.  |

In that case, the management or responsible party will need to pay.... the bill will likely come back to the owners. |

Further to this, I have noticed that there have been people staring at the tiles which appears that they are assessing the subject situation.
I want to suggest that they sand the tiles down to roughen the surface rather than replace the tiles. Having done tiles before, removing tiles is hard work and having a nice smooth finish is even harder when you are trying to match an older surface. To add to that there is people and traffic around to cause inconvenience to the job.
Just sand it or roughen the surface and the job is done.

They should have asked for suggestions or made it public that it was going to be done. Roughing up the surface could have been done for cheap using a sander.
It's not too late to do the other tiles as the work has just begun.
I hope the end result will be good as it is VERY DIFFICULT to get tiles flat and even. Trust me, I know from experience.

I'm wondering how far they are going to go with the tile replacement. As cement and such expand and cure at different rates in different weather/ temperatures, it's really important to do a job all at once to prevent cracking. I'm not an expert, but this is just common sense.  |
