Marina Bay Sands™ Integrated Resort

Predicted to revolutionise the construction industry and become an icon for Singapore’s Marina Bay waterfront, Marina Bay Sands™ Integrated Resort is an engineering wonder and architectural masterpiece in the making. Conceived by architect Moshe Safdie, the resort features three cascading hotel towers topped by a one-hectare skypark, and a lotus-inspired ArtScience Museum. Every element of the complex and remarkable design is technically demanding, from the basements constructed in deep marine clays to the long-span cantilevered skypark and the geometrically challenging Museum.

Along with civil and structural engineering, acoustics and traffic, our scope has included the provision of new and innovative 3D technologies. Pushing the boundaries of current software and systems, the 3D modelling software has enabled the structural engineers to cope with various changes in design and geometry throughout the project.

This approach provided a significant reduction in modelling time, improved coordination of documents, rapid concept evaluation, optimised designs, visualisation of complex technical issues and improved communication, without compromising the vision for this iconic development.
