Changi Airport’s Terminal 2 tops new safety award
SINGAPORE: Changi Airport’s Terminal 2 has topped a new award for building safety which was given out by the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) on Tuesday.
BCA said upgrading works at Terminal 2 (T2) beat 12 other nominated projects for the BCA Design and Engineering Safety Excellence Awards.
The T2 project was chosen because it took many measures to ensure safety while it continues its round the clock operations.
These include several innovative solutions such as using steel structures which were fabricated offsite and erected at the airport premises. This minimises interference to day—to—day activities.
Engineers also used a combination of movable working platforms and cranes to keep construction away from airport users.
To minimise noise, dust and debris, the engineers also used methods such as carbon fibre—wrapping and bracings.
So for overcoming constraints such as limited working spaces while maintaining Changi Airport’s image as one of the world’s best, the project clinched the building safety award.
Other merit winners under the Building category are Central (the commercial development built over the existing Clarke Quay MRT Station), LaSalle College of the Arts, One Raffles Quay and ITE College East.
Under the Civil Engineering category, the merit award went to Fort Canning Tunnel and Bishan SMRT Depot Underpinning Works. — CNA/vm
