SINGAPORE - An overhead link bridge that connects two buildings sitting on opposite sides of a road may sound simple to build but ask any engineer and he will tell you it takes a lot of precise engineering calculations to make it happen.
His team was tasked with the designing and construction of a 20m-long overhead bridge to connect Maxwell Chambers Suites, previously known as the Red Dot Traffic Building, to the Maxwell Chambers across the street. Mr Foong also used micro-piles to strengthen the existing footing foundation of Maxwell Chambers from inside the building, minimising disruption at the street level.
"It is a sustainable way to achieve an elegant outcome while protecting the facade of the buildings," said Mr Foong. Another winning project that had to be completed fast and with minimal disruptions was the Singapore Management University Connexion, a net-zero energy teaching building in the city. Mr Kam said the system offered a"quick and efficient" installation process. It could also mitigate the challenges of onsite space constraints and its close proximity to other buildings.
