2.5.4 Shielding Wall
a. A full-height reinforced concrete shielding wall, with a minimum thickness of 200mm (with protective slab extended by at least ½ of storey height from the shielding wall) or 300mm (if the protective slab is extended by less than ½ of storey height), has to be provided in front of the entrance SS door.
b. The shielding wall to the SS door can be positioned and arranged in the following manner:
i. A shielding wall has to be positioned such that it is at least 1200mm but not more than 3000mm from the SS door and is within influence zone of 45-degree from the SS door. Refer to FIGURE 2.5.4(a) to 2.5.4(f). The shielding wall forming part of the dwelling unit’s wall shall be clearly indicated on plans.

ii. The shielding wall shall be protected by floor slab or trellis of at least half the storey height measured from the shielding wall. Refer to FIGURE 2.5.4(a), 2.5.4(b), 2.5.4(d) to 2.5.4(f).
Fiii. Where the lift shaft is facing the SS door, the RC wall of the shaft can be used as a shielding wall provided its thickness is at least 200mm. Refer to FIGURE 2.5.4(c). For such case, the surrounding lift shaft wall and roof slab of lift motor room shall be reinforced concrete.
Fiv. For service risers located within influence zone, the RC walls of the risers can be used as shielding wall provided its thickness is at least 200mm. Refer to FIGURE 2.5.4(e).
Fv. Where the shielding wall located within influence zone is discontinuous, the opening in this wall shall not be in the line of sight of SS door. In the case of the opening not in the line of sight of SS door but facing the SS wall, there shall be RC slabs with a minimum distance of 8000mm provided from the SS wall. Refer to FIGURE 2.5.4(d) and 2.5.4(f).
