The Marina Bay Sands integrated resort in Singapore is constructed along, and in part above, the waters of the Marina Bay. The Bay is a freshwater basin with limited level variation maintained by the PUB.
A cost-effective alternative design, developed by DMC and D&C contractor McConnell Dowell led to the latter being awarded the construction of the marine promenade deck on an EPC basis.
Constraints were placed by the existing retaining along the bay, third party foundations that needed to be utilised and the architectural curvatures required. Thick layers of soft marine clays added to the challenge.
By rationalising the pile layout and making extensive use of standardised prefabricated elements construction could progress very quickly while maintaining a high quality standard
