Suntec City, Singapore
Occupying a site of 11.7 hectare, the Suntec City project comprises a convention and exhibition centre, four 45-storey office towers, one 18-storey office block, retail and commercial space and basement parking on two levels for 3,000 cars.
Constructed by a "top down" method, the steel-framed Convention and Exhibition Centre is the largest in Southeast Asia. The lower levels of the seven-storey building have column
grids at 30 x 30 meters providing open floor areas; the top level houses the column-free Convention Hall which accommodates up to 13,000 people. A major exhibition hall with an area of 12,352 square meters and a smaller permanent exhibition hall are also incorporated into the building. A specially designed spiral container truck ramp facilitates service access to the centre.
The distinctive roof structure consists of a series of pyramids suspended from a space frame of tubular steel sections using specially designed load-bearing node assemblies. Clad in aluminum, it covers an area of 24,000 square meters and is designed to allow for thermal movement and to exclude external noise.
Clustered around the Fountain Terrace, the five office towers support a working population of 22,000. Within these high-rise blocks space is arranged around a central service core to allow maximum penetration of natural light. Their cut-away design creates sculptured forms which provide a variety of dynamic perspectives.
Grand Lisboa, Macau, China
Assigned by Sociedade de Turismo e Diversoes de Macau, AECOM provides structural and geotechnical engineering consulting services to this 54-floor, leaf-shaped hotel and an oval entertainment center. Due to its multifaceted structure which requires the use of complex foundation techniques, the project recently won a Commendation Award at the 2009 Structural Excellence Awards Competition in Hong Kong.
The Grand Lisboa occupies a site area of about 12,000 square meters with a Gross Floor Area of over 135,000 square meters. The 54-story building is one of the tallest in Macau at 228 meters. The building is inspired by the shape of a lotus flower, which requires the upper part of the structure to cantilever over 20 meters on each side.
The podium floors consist of various long span column free areas of over 40 meters, and a large cantilevered area supported by a cable stayed structural arrangement. The podium entertainment area is covered by a large column-free elliptical sphere of 40 meters x 80 meters x 40 meters.
The sphere is designed as a thin shell structure braced by a skeletal steel frame. A floating tunnel, which links to the existing Lisboa, has been constructed according to the horizontal pipe jacking technique. There are four basement levels, and the design adopts a top-down construction sequence.
The complex building design also satisfies the seismic design requirement of Macau's building code.
1881 Heritage, Hong Kong
Flying Snow Limited selected AECOM to provide structural and geotechnical engineering services for the redevelopment of the Former Marine Police Headquarters in Hong Kong.
Located at the heart of the high-end retail and cultural center in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, the heritage complex is made up of the former Marine Police Headquarters, Signal Tower, Stable House, Fire Station and Accommodation Block. These buildings were constructed between 1881 and 1920, and listed as monuments under the Hong Kong Antiquities and Monuments Ordinance.
By offering structural and geotechnical engineering services, our building engineering team helped develop the site into a sustainable commercial and tourism enhancing development through restoration, preservation and conversion. The project scope included tree preservation, site formation and construction of a new retail complex and basement. We also carried out alteration and additional work on existing heritage buildings to convert them into a boutique hotel, a high-end retail complex and restaurants. This is the largest conservation and revitalization project of its kind that has been completed in Hong Kong.
