SIPM’s latest projects further enhance Singapore’s urban landscape

Singapore urban landscape - Robertson Quay hotel — Conversion of the Intercontinental Singapore Robertson Quay hotel adds to the revitalisation of the Robertson Quay area.

With over 14 years of well-established project management capabilities, SIPM has played an active role in changing the urban landscape of Singapore.

Two hotels – the Intercontinental Singapore Robertson Quay and Park Hotel Farrer Park and Medical Suites – and the Mediacorp campus are a few of the exciting developments opened to the public this year which were handled by Surbana Jurong’s project management arm.

Each of these projects contributed to the Singapore skyline in their own unique way, while each carried their individual challenges. For instance, the Intercontinental hotel involved the part- demolition and conversion of the existing Gallery Hotel and is one of the first steps towards the revitalisation of the Robertson Quay area.

Park Hotel Farrer Park interfaces with the Farrer Park MRT station and disruption to the travelling public had to be minimised during construction. With the hotel and medical suite development being part of the larger Farrer Square healthcare and hospitality development, the project involved multiple stakeholders with highly diverse interests which had to be actively managed over the course of the project.

As for the Mediacorp campus, it is likely to be Singapore’s only media campus in the foreseeable future. Its requirements are unique to the broadcast industry, such as office floors sitting above large, column-free recording studios. Together with the building’s distinct architecture, the project created unique opportunities to deliver to global standards, said SIPM’s Managing Director Bernard Ho.

Across all these projects, Bernard noted that his project managers stayed focused on their clients’ needs in the face of demands from multiple stakeholder fronts, and provided all the solutions necessary to ensure the projects remained on track till completion.

Surbana Jurong & its clients garner five of the 50 awards at IES-SG50 competition

Singapore, 1 July 2016 – Surbana Jurong garnered five of the 50 awards at the Institute of Engineers’ (IES) Engineering Feats @ IES-SG50 awards.

Said Mr Loh Yan Hui, Deputy Chief Executive Officer, Infrastructure, Surbana Jurong “We are delighted to have five of our projects recognised by the public for their role in shaping Singapore in the past 50 years. This is a testimony to our strength and capability in delivering total design, planning and engineering solutions to support social and economic growth and we look forward to contribute further towards Singapore’s development plans. We are honoured by the support of our clients and project partners who share the same vision and we hope to forge stronger ties as together we transform landscapes, build cities and shape the lives of our communities.”

The IES-SG50 is an initiative launched by IES to recognise top engineering achievements in Singapore that have made the greatest societal, infrastructure or economic impact.

A total of 113 projects were shortlisted for the awards, with the winners determined by a public voting contest based on the impact and contributions made to the nation. The winners comprise public and private sector projects from various industries including aerospace, defence and security, infrastructure, manufacturing, infocommunications, leisure, marine and transport.

The five projects that have clinched the Top 50 Engineering Feats Awards are:

Jurong Island

Jurong Island is the largest specialized industrial estate in Singapore, attracting more than $47 billion in global investments and housing over 100 companies, including top international names and local companies. Its integrated ecosystem remains as one of its key competitive strengths today. Surbana Jurong was instrumental in the planning, reclamation and infrastructure developments that amalgamated the 7 islands off Jurong.

Jurong Rock Caverns

Located 150 metres below ground and 130 metres beneath the seabed of the Jurong Island, the Jurong Rock Caverns is the deepest underground public works endeavoured in Singapore. It is South East Asia’s first commercial underground rock caverns facility designated for liquid hydrocarbons storage of up to 1.47 million cubic metres. This innovative land use helped free up 60 hectares of land aboveground to engage the growth of higher value-added industries. Surbana Jurong was the engineering design and construction management consultant for the project.

“We are honoured that IES has recognised Jurong Island and Jurong Rock Caverns as two of the Top 50 Engineering Feats in the last 50 years. These two innovative and technically challenging projects, built to support industries and catalyse Singapore’s economic development, would not have been possible without the commitment and engineering capabilities of the project team members from various government agencies, engineering consultants, project managers and contractors. Both projects are examples of how infrastructure remains our nation’s unique competitive edge and how bold solutions can overcome our resource constraints.

Surbana Jurong is a major partner for both projects and provided strong support in bringing these infrastructure solutions to fruition. Through such collaborative efforts, JTC hopes to continue pushing the boundaries for innovation, sustainability and productivity and create tomorrow’s industry spaces.”, said Mr Heah Soon Poh, Assistant CEO, Engineering and Operations Group, JTC

My Waterway@Punggol

Surbana Jurong was the sole engineering and architectural consultant – including landscape architecture – for the Punggol Waterway project, an ambitious venture to turn a piece of bare land into a beautiful 4.2km waterway that meanders through Punggol Town. A first-of-its-kind in Singapore, My Waterway@Punggol is the centrepiece of the Punggol 21 Masterplan to rejuvenate and transform the former agricultural and farm wasteland into a bustling eco-town.

“The waterway has transformed Punggol into a sustainable waterfront town of the 21st century and redefined the notion of public housing. The design embraces the coastal heritage of the area and integrates seamlessly with the surrounding housing sites, creating a vibrant living environment for the community. We are happy to have partnered with Surbana Jurong to deliver this ambitious plan successfully and on schedule and we look forward to greater collaborations in years to come.”, said Mr Yap Tiem Yew, Group Director, Building & Infrastructure Group, Housing & Development Board

Pasir Panjang Port Terminal Phases 3&4 Development

Between 2007 and 2015, 198 hectares of land were reclaimed to add 15 million TEUs to enhance Singapore as a leading transhipment hub. The deepest container berths were created in the Pasir Panjang Port Terminal Phases 3&4 Development. The project adopts several innovative engineering solutions such as replacing reclamation fill with dredged materials and excavated earth, as well as utilising Cement- Mixed-Soils in geo-containment bunds, leading to significant savings in cost and materials. Surbana Jurong is proud to be the sole engineering consultant for the planning, design and implementation of this significant mega project with the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA).

Semakau Landfill

The Semakau Landfill is Singapore’s first and only landfill situated offshore among the southern islands of Singapore. It is an example of balancing infrastructural development with environmental conservation in an environmentally sustainable way. The project boasts many engineering feat including open sea construction as well as a 200-metre floating platform to facilitate the safe discharging of ash and a floating wastewater treatment plant. Surbana Jurong was the engineering

design and construction management main consultant for Phase II Development of the Semakau Landfill on all aspects of civil, environmental, structural, mechanical and electrical engineering works.

Launch of the 1st Caisson for Tuas Terminal Phase 1 Development

coastal engineering tuas terminal launch of the first caisson — The first caisson transferred onto the floating dock at the Tuas Terminal construction site

The construction of the first phase of Tuas Terminal development has reached an important milestone with the official launch of the first caisson on 29 April. Surbana Jurong is proud to be the consultant for the planning and engineering design as well as the supervision of the construction, which includes project management, contract administration and site supervision for this mega project.

The event was graced by Coordinating Minister for Infrastructure and Minister for Transport Mr Khaw Boon Wan who initiated the launch of the first caisson. Representing Surbana Jurong at the event was Group CEO Mr Wong Heang Fine and Deputy CEO, Infrastructure, Mr Loh Yan Hui.

The Tuas Terminal is part of Singapore’s efforts to consolidate its port activities at Tuas to continue the success and support the demand for container port handling facilities. As key pillar in Singapore’s Next Generation Container Port, the Tuas Terminal is an engineering feat with many innovative features. For instance, the design includes the re-use of dredged and excavated materials as reclamation fill materials which results in significant material cost savings of some $1 billion. The use of innovative caisson design for thewharf structures also helps to improve productivity and quality as the caissons are of standard sizes and pre-fabricated in a controlled environment on site.

The Tuas Terminal will be developed in four phases over a span of some 30 years, with the construction of Phase 1 scheduled for completion in the 2020s. When fully operational, the Tuas Port will be the first in Singapore designed to accommodate ultra large container vessels (ULCV) beyond the current size of ULCV and is able to handle up to 65 million twenty-foot equivalent units per annum.
