Its been a while since our last Profile and no doubt weve been busy! Construction on Singapore Sports Hubs new 55,000-seat stadium has kicked off and were extremely pleased to have completed the entire roof steelwork design using Building Information Modelling (BIM). BIM has become the industrys latest buzzword, following the launch of the Building Construction Authoritys (BCA) productivity roadmap which will see BIM submissions mandatory by 2015. To embrace BIM requires a paradigm shift and a willingness to change. We know what that change means, having used BIM since 2001. In this issue, we give you our thoughts on what BIM implementation entails and showcase some of the quality residential projects at Singapores prestigious new address Sentosa Cove (centrefold). Lighting also shares the spotlight in this issue as our new lighting team has its sleeves rolled up on a variety of exciting projects around town. Last but not least, were happy to share a number of our significant wins this year including two packages for the Land Transport Authoritys Thomson Line, the Capitol Site redevelopment and the new Tanjong Pagar mixed development by GuocoLand. In addition, our Green Mark wins at this years BCA Awards reflect the great collaborative efforts we have been able to strike with many of our forward-thinking clients. Together, our future is in all of our hands. Lets continue to be relentless in our pursuit of a sustainable future for the next generation and beyond.

By 2014, the new National Stadium will form the centre piece of the Singapore Sports Hub, reinforcing Singapores position as a major international sports destination.

After six months of demolition work on Singapores historical National Stadium (birthplace of the Kallang Roar), construction on the Singapore Sports Hubs new 55,000-seat stadium has finally kicked off! Addressing the issue of comfort in the tropics, Arups design provides an ultrathin steel dome spanning 312m and a movable roof which can be extended over the pitch to provide a much needed shade for its spectators. The roof of Singapores iconic sports dome has been constructed using advanced parametric design software. To support the design process, Arup developed an in-house software specifically for the project which supports the seamless transfer of information from the venue designers to the engineer and ensures that the coordination of cladding and structure to the complex roof geometry can be fully resolved before steel fabrication begins. The design is supported by 70 Arup staff on-site, and the team has completed the design documentation for roof cladding tender documents and steelwork for the roof structure. The stadium features an energy-efficient spectator cooling system, and an innovative moving tier design that provides flexibility to accommodate a wide calendar of sporting events and the National Day Parade.

Spicin it up with BIM

In April 2011, the Building Construction Authority (BCA) announced steps to increase productivity in the local construction industry. Its Construction Productivity Roadmap includes a five-year plan for adopting Building Information Modelling (BIM) across the sector. By 2015, it will be mandatory for all architectural, structural, mechanical and engineering plans for building works to be submitted electronically via BIM for regulatory approval. Arup has been utilising this technology since 2001 and as a leader in this field, our aim is to utilise BIM on all our projects. We speak to Christopher Pynn, Regional BIM Leader on this spicy development.

BIM is a new way of collaborating and represents a major change for the construction industry. At its heart, BIM is about returning value to clients by removing the inherent waste from poor documentation, and a fragmented supply chain. It is about better outcomes.

Here comes the uncomfortable heartburn

Our industry bodies should not ignore the fact that the BIM community feels compelled to share knowledge, skills and viewpoints. Unless they make a move soon to include cross-discipline BIM consultants, managers and practitioners, they risk appearing dated. Associations have a role to play in defining scope, terms and delivery. How can we expect to compete with one another when we are faced with nonsensical or openended calls for BIM?

Arup has professional members of the Hong Kong Institute of Building Information Modelling, and I predict many more similar institutions shaping up in the near future. On the other hand, our community must get our act together and work actively on educating clients about BIM. At Arup, we do this by customising a menu that whets and sustains our clients appetite. In other words, we help them understand what BIM means to their business and the level of service they should be paying for.

My mouth is on fire!
In Singapore, chilli seems to be part of the staple diet. It accompanies anything and everything, from breakfast through to dinner, often masking the real flavour of the dish in the process. The same can be said for BIM. The industry has been preached to continuously for years on the benefits of BIM.

What one person sees as an enormous benefit and huge potential, another sees as an unnecessary increase in risk or cost. However, I believe the answer is relatively simple: education and a well-defined scope. Its really about beginning with the end in mind what do we want to achieve? Whether youre a consultant putting a proposal together, a member of a design team collaborating on a BIM project or a client setting goals for the project, it is essential that deep down, beneath all of the BIM-wash, the decisions that affect your business are based on sound guidance.

To embrace BIM requires a paradigm shift in the way we embark on projects but more importantly the way in which we think about a project. There is still a great amount of improvement that can be made within the industry through BIM and at Arup we see this as a great opportunity to help influence the industry. Change will come and at Arup, it is the way we work. Andr Lovatt, Singapore Office Leader

Arup first saw the value of 3D whilst working on the NorthEast Line Project in 2001 where it was used to coordintate complex mechanical, electrical and plumbing services within the tight spaces of MRT railway stations.

BIM was utilised in engineering the complex structure of Marina Bay Sands ArtScience Museum within a relatively short time frame. A design as complex as this took three months what would have taken years if done using more traditional methods.

Using our internally developed 3D software, Arup designed the curved Helix bridge entirely in a virtual environment with each steel member optimised for strength such that only a few different section sizes were used.

3D documentation used on Arups Sentosa Cove condominium projects (see centrefold) allowed a single designer to produce drawings that would ordinarily have required three people.

From a small fishing village to a military base in its early years, Sentosa has come a long way to become an island resort. Embracing the ever-changing lifestyles of Singaporeans and international visitors alike, the 500ha island offers an exciting range of things to do and sights to see. It is now home to Singapores largest integrated resort, Resorts World Sentosa and one of Asias most coveted luxurious residential development, Sentosa Cove both of which Arup has had a role in.

Arups concept for this luxurious waterfront was centered around a natural water environment harnessed the forces of nature without having to rely on the usual mechanical means such as aerators, filtration and chemical processes. Advanced water quality studies using computer modeling were used to simulate water inflow and outflow along with indicators that measured variation of freshness. This enabled the optimal positioning of a network of sluices and water channels which together with flood mitigation measures, keep the waters in a state of high cleanliness. The project also include the construction of a bridge, the creation of a 4km canal wall, and a boat lock with associated gates and control building.

With 200 lavish homes conceived as a tropical haven with generous pergolas and spacious balconies, Arup had to ensure there was also sufficient car park space for its home owners. This was achieved by minimising the number of support beams in the basement car park by optimising the design for the first storey and re-designing the driveway.

Singapores Prestigious New Address

Sentosa Cove is Singapore versions of a world-class waterfront and resort-style mixed development matching the likes of Port-Grimaud in France and Hope Island in Gold Coast Australia. It covers an area of 117ha made up mostly of reclaimed land, and includes five artificial islands called Coral Island, Paradise Island, Treasure Island, Sandy Island and Pearl Island. Created under the Sentosa Cove Southern Island Development master plan, the original master plan was developed by French architect Bernard Spoerry with McKerrell Lynch Architects from Australia; and Klages Carter & Vail from the United States who were later brought in to enhance the concept. Like the world-renowned places in France and Australia, it is close to natural water and resort facilities and will have an estimated 2,100 luxurious waterfront homes by 2014.

Putting Singapore in the Global Spotlight

The citys tropical climate has much to contribute to the significance of lighting design. Darkness here is not associated with the cold, as is the case in many northern countries and being outside after sunset is an important part of the urban social culture. Hence the relevance and impact of artificial lighting is significant, and a vital part in enabling life after dark.
Lighting up a tropical metropolis and garden city
With tastefulness and elegance as part of the Urban Redevelopment Authoritys guiding posts, Singapore is beginning to light up in new ways like never before. For a country that is so used to fluorescent lighting as the de facto solution, good lighting is not just about flooding a building with light. It is also the creative use of colour, lights and shadows to create a visual spectacle. This is most obvious in the increased interest towards lighting faades which feature quite prominently among shopping complexes along Singapores Orchard Road. They are not just mere forms of illumination but also specific points of interest as demonstrated in Arups makeover design for the world-famous shopping belt. Like telling a story, light is also employed as an artistic component in architecture. The sphere-shaped award-winning Genexis Theatre

Light is the source of everything on earth. In skilled hands, lighting becomes the fourth dimension of architecture, by directing and sculpting light to create a comfortable, safe and inspiring environment.

Natoma Architects

makes a bold statement with its eye-catching array of dynamic LED luminaries accenting its unique form. Second to none, The Helixs colourchanging LED strands which takes its inspiration from the DNA sequence, provides an intriguing experience around Marina Bay. Cleverly enough, lighting is not about making it brighter. It can be difficult for the human eye to adapt to different levels and colours of lighting all at the same time. For this reason, the lighting design for the Marina Bay Promenade is a subtle low glare solution. Set as a primary location for viewing the city at night, the paths of light create a soft canvas for the accent lighting features within the impressive streetscape (Singapore Profile 2010 Issue 2). In the next five years and beyond, we will continue to look more closely at energy and materials conservation. A wonderful showcase is Greenpix, a ground-breaking project in Beijing that is designed to harvest solar energy by day for use in its lighting shows, and any excess energy is channelled back to the power grid.

1. The largest zero-energy LED display in the world, West Beijings Greenpix Media Wall is a triumph of energy-efficient lighting design. 2. Tampa Museum of Arts faade is reminiscent of the stage of a drive-in movie theatre which transformed this vast night time dead space into one that would connect people to the building. 3. The Beijing National Stadiums lighting is akin to a Chinese lantern, with a stunning result of the national icon glowing from within. 4. As a testament to Louis Vuittons classic elegance, interior and faade lighting schemes in their stores worldwide have been greatly simplified through the use of a kit-of-parts that provided dramatic savings on energy cost and fit-out time. 5. One of the first custom media faades of its kind, Galleria was the creation of Arup and UNStudio, and was once again back on the map of Seouls most fashionable district when it opened in 2004. 6. The emphasis for lighting Singapores Genexis Theatre lies at the centralised theatre sphere which pulsates like a brain processing data. 7. YAS Marina Hotel in Abu Dhabi was the iconic centerpiece at the 2009 F1 with a formula one design vocabulary such as double curved surfaces, aluminum details, shiny reflections and motorised dynamics. 8. The California Academy of Sciences immersive environment preserves a slice of ecology within its building form and showcases the coordination of artificial light and daylight. 9. The Helix in Singapore draws its lighting inspiration from the DNA sequence and makes for an intriguing experience across the bridge.

GIS - A Ticket to Ride with Thomson Line

Marina Bay Sands A Timeless Tale

At the British Chamber of Commerces 2010 Awards Gala Dinner, Russell Cole, Principal and Singapore Building Group Leader, had the privilege of addressing the audience and giving a short presentation on Arups journey to Marina Bay Sands. Graced by Singapore Minister, S. Iswaran, the event was held at the Shangri-La Hotel and was well-attended by members of Singapores business community.
Client: Land Transport Authority Architect: Aedas
British Chamber of Commerce

Project Dates: 2011 2018 Arup scope: Infrastructure, geotechnics

During his presentation, Russell gave an overview of the unique challenges Arup faced while working on this extremely fast track and complex project. The event also gave us an opportunity to acknowledge the valuable relationships we have forged with the other companies we worked with on Marina Bay Sands.

Arup wins Thomson Line!

Arup was recently awarded two out of the five design packages for Thomson Line Singapores sixth Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) line that is part of LTAs vision to double the countrys mass rapid transport network by 2020. The first package covers the northern section of Thomson Line, and includes three stations, 4.2km of twin tunnels and 7km of depot reception tunnels. The second package is for the southern section where Arup will be responsible for 5.5km of twin tunnels and six stations, two of which are interchange stations. This section of the line will run through the districts of Chinatown, Tanjong Pagar, and Marina Bay.

All onboard with GIS!

The 30km underground line will be the first ever large-scale project in Singapore to utilise Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology. GIS provides tools for interacting with data using its real-world location. The result is a visual and interactive representation of the Thomson Line project that provides instant accessibility to the multidisciplinary project team via a secure web portal. Different access levels are granted across the project, allowing key decision-makers to retrieve relevant information, while confidential data remains hidden from low-level users, ensuring client confidentiality where necessary.

This replaces the arduous process of searching for multiple documents and records for key pieces of information. Once linked into the database, information is available at the click of a button. Any data collected in the field can be instantly uploaded from any smart phone or similar device, allowing instant access to all users. The Thomson Line project is also part of the Singapore offices initiative to consolidate all digital records and past projects to a single resource.

Moving up the Green Chart

New building design and construction have rapidly evolved in response to carbon issues and the growing public environmental consciousness. Recognising the situation, the Building Construction Authority (BCA) launched Green Mark Singapores first green building rating system in 2005 and has set out for 80% of the citys building stock to achieve a Green Mark rating by 2030. According to Arups estimates, about 6,500 buildings in Singapore will require retrofitting over the next 20 years. Since 2005, Arup has worked on a range of chart-topping projects which incorporate innovative design features and the efficient use of key resources such as energy and water. Our work was further recognised with several Green Mark wins at the recent BCA Awards in May 2011.
