Default 5x2x2 Cabinet tank at unenclosed balcony

I know this topic has been discussed lots of time. My flat is due for collection.
The balcony is those unenclosed type. The only place I can place my tank is un the balcony.

This project is under HDB so no window grill are allowed in this type of balcony.
Will my 5x2x2 Cabinet tank exceeds the loadind of the balcony.

If I need to get an approval who should I look for?
If I place in along the beam. This type of new balcony not sure is it more durable than those old type where the extension is bulid fully to the top.

Thanks

The new type overhang balcony , I also dun dare, 522 sump tank already exceeds. So if the whole thing collapse, lawsuit and below damage, and etc will find u.
Not to say they will have the rights to ask u compensate, worst confiscated

Ask permission from HDB is a wise choice to check 1st

Very unlikely you can put there. Maybe you can check your brochure for the max load allowed.

Should put your tank near the structural beam. Check your floor plan. I think putting 5x2x2 at balcony would be risky too.
