SINGAPORE: The [email protected] residential project holds two
world records for the longest sky—garden and the heaviest
skybridge.
The popular residential project, which includes a roof—top
garden, will have a total of 12 skybridges.
Each bridge weighs 354 tonnes which is equivalent to the weight
of a Boeing 747.
Contractors used heavy duty hydraulics to push the bridges in
place.
The bridges will be lifted to the 26th and 50th floors at 12 to
15 metres per hour.
So far four skybridges have been installed.
The [email protected] will have a total of 1,848 units and will be
ready by year—end.
HDB said all the engineers, consultants and contractors working
on the project are Singaporeans and this in itself is a landmark in
the local construction industry.
