Monsoon Nuisance III

Before Continuing with this episode of Monsoon Soap Opera at Mahindra Eminente residential project developed by Mahindra Lifespace Developers Limited, please don't miss earlier episodes:

Monsoon Nuisance -I

Monsoon Nuisance-II

As the monsoon arrives so starts dripping water in the stilt parking area through various expansion joints between concrete slabs. When Engineers of Mahindra Lifespace Developers Limited are confronted with this situation they comfortably resign to the fact by boldly stating that concrete expansion joints are expected to leak. What kind of water proof joint was used which was supposed to leak in addition to absorbing the expansion.

Has Mahindra Lifespace Developers Limited patented a new technology of "leaking expansion joints of concrete structure", and made Mahindra Eminente project a guinea pig for first trial of that kind of rubbish technology.

Mahindra Eminente residents are not amused by this kind of rubbish technology. We challenge Mahindra Lifespace Developers Limited to show us one concrete Expansion Joint, anywhere in whole of Mumbai other than the ones in Mahindra Eminente, which allows water to pass through.

Now the icing on the cake - Instead of repairing such leaking expansion joints, project team has chosen to fix the containment tray complete with drain pipes under all such leaking joints to capture the water leaking through.

Now some more dollops of icing and for some good measure sake throw in some falooda too - Even the containment trays are leaking and now workers are trying to fix the leakage of containment tray with liberal quantity of cement. Why not M-Seal? man!! o man!! Does "M" in "M-seal" stand for Mahindra? Clearly a shoddy workmanship , isn't it? Did you all miss previous story about workmanship? Never mind, just follow this link, but after reading that story come back again to complete this episode of Monsoon Soap opera.

Now best one for the last -
When there is water logging in the silt parking area due to water leakage through concrete expansion joints and disproportionate slope in the floor of stilt parking area, engineers of Mahindra Lifespace Developers Limited collectively decide to chisel out miniature canals to lead the water to nearest drain hole.

Any children living in the complex following this blog?....Monsoon is the right time to let your paper boats traverse through these miniature canals!!!! Maajhi Re!!

Jai Ho!!! Mann Gaye Mahindra Lifespace Developers ko!!!

  1. Is this architecture an inspiration from Spain or Venice/ Bangkok/ Kashmir types...coz we seem to be staying amidst water bodies all around and even in the house at times!

    It wont be long before we see boats instead of cars in the parking area.

  2. Monsoon or no monsoon, there is never a shortage of water in Eminente, you can be sure of that. My master bedroom leakage just doesnt seem to go away. They have re-painted 5 times already and it has once again re-surfaced. Frankly I now feel sorry for the workers who come and feel embarassed themselves as they are grossly ill-equipped to do anything about the original design fault in the structure....
