 Shear wall
• Shear wall is a wall composed of braced panels to counter the effects of lateral
load acting on a structure
• the thickness is 28 inches to 20 inches from the base of the tower to the higher

 Flat Slab
• Flat slabs are highly versatile elements , providing minimum depth, fast construction and
allowing flexible column grids
• there are flat slabs span directly between the shear walls and the flat slab are post-
tensioned 8-inch
• provides flexibility in the hotel room layout
• Accommodates flexibility of building services distribution and coordination throughout
each floor

 The façade
• There is an energy efficient double-glazed units suspended from the edge of the slab
and is rest in a frame
• In order to radiate out in elevation, glass fins are suspended out of the horizontal stack
joint
• Give special effect

 The main materials used for marina bay sand are concrete, aluminium and steel
 The building has a higher Envelope Thermal Transfer Value then the norm due to the material
used to build the façade
 Green materials are used whenever possible during the hotel’s construction. Drainage cells,
timber decking, drywall partitions and fire-rated doors are the example of thing that is build using
green material

 generally known as IBS throughout Malaysia
 also known as Pre-fabricated/Pre-fab Construction, Modern Method of Construction (MMC) and
Off-site Construction
 a method of construction
 mass production of industrial components in a controlled environment
 transported to construction site for further assembly onto specific buildings
 customized and standardized making it more efficient and able to maintain it’s persistent in
quality and quantity
 useful for high rise buildings or mass housing estates whereas similar structure can be
replicated

 concrete piles are also used as pre-cast beams to be placed in the structure of the building for
the purpose on supporting the building loadings
 pre-cast reinforced concrete shear walls
 vary from thickness of 28 inches at the base of the tower to 20 inches of higher floor level

 Pre-fabricated Steel Structure
• Steel structure for the Sky Park was pre-fabricated off-site in 14 primary segments
• The bridging sections each consist of three 400-ton bridge trusses that were pre-
assembled at grade
• Total of 7,000 tons steelwork was erected into the Sky Park
