Project Overview
Woodleigh Hillside consists of 13 residential blocks of 16 storeys in height, with 1,355 units. They are set around a hillock park that was preserved from the original landscape. This enclave also includes two blocks of 2-storey carparks topped with a series of environmental decks that provide communal spaces for residents. The residential blocks are designed to complement the rolling contours of the local topography.

The architectural plan takes full advantage of the lush surroundings, offering picturesque views and creating verdant courtyards within the complex. A pedestrian-friendly green pathway meanders through the project, linking the hillock park with retail and community facilities, and leading directly to each block through elevated open spaces.

The communal facilities are conceived as a collection of pavilions nestled in the landscape, allowing residents to engage with the natural setting of the hillock park. The park itself is carefully curated to minimise impact, preserving the habitat for migratory birds.

Project Overview
Fernvale Dew is a design & build Prefabricated Prefinished Volumetric Construction (PPVC) project comprising 1,188 units housed in 10 residential blocks. The blocks range from 12 to 25 storeys in height.

Despite the scale and density of the project, good distancing between residential blocks is achieved thanks to its design features. Communal spaces such as sky terraces and sky gardens are set at different levels in all blocks, and are linked via bridges, providing opportunities for residents to interact and exercise. On the lower levels, there are also community living rooms that overlook the landscape deck.

The lushly landscaped central deck on its roof houses an extensive array of facilities such as a preschool, Residents’ Network Centre, precinct pavilions, playgrounds and fitness stations. Residents’ activities are segregated from vehicular traffic as activities are predominantly carried out on the landscape deck rather than on the road level. Multiple void openings, with some of them large enough for planting, allow ample natural light and ventilation into the carpark.

Project Overview
Tampines GreenVines comprises 11 residential blocks ranging from 8 to 14 storeys, with a total of 1,271 units, along with a variety of well-designed community spaces. The precinct design draws inspiration from nature and seeks to create a seamless connection to the comprehensive network of green spaces in Tampines North.

To create a distinctive form, the blocks are designed to step down towards the Tampines Eco-Green park. Some of the blocks extend out as “branches” of the main blocks to allow for views towards surrounding parks. Sky terraces also allow residents to enjoy unobstructed views.

The overall design emphasis on nature is carried through to the block facade, which expresses a forest concept using 'tree bark texture' formliner and ‘translucent paint’. Referencing forest colours, the facade panels below the windows are painted in different shades of green, gradually transiting into neutral colours towards the upper floors.

Project Overview
The project of Trunk Sewer Diversion at Towner Road was awarded to Ah Boon Civil Engineering & Building Contractor Pte Ltd (ABC). Originally, the work scopes include the construction of a new 1800mm diameter sewer line, approximately 181m in length, and the four new sewer manholes of various sizes, shapes and dimensions. However, in view of the poor soil condition which would potentially affect the upcoming Build-To-Order (BTO) project, an additional scope was included to carry out soil improvement work using the deep soil mixing (DSM) method.

Despite the compressed timeline, additional work scope of soil improvement and requirement to share the limited working space with incoming Building Contractor, ABC managed to turn the tide by innovating the DSM piles as part of the earth retaining and stabilising system for the temporary shaft construction. This construction method and sequence avoided the need for double handling and remobilisation of machineries on site, effectively reducing the deployment of manpower and man-hours overall to complete the works.

ABC’s expertise in trunk sewer construction had allowed them to innovate and re-design to standardize the sizes of all the manholes on site despite facing site constraint. The standardization had greatly reduced the construction time needed for the project and increase the productivity on site through the repetition of works and the steel moulds can be reused after the construction of each manhole shaft.

The extra mile taken by ABC to deliver the project and implement cost-effective and time-saving construction method is commendable. It was also noted that the contractor ultimately managed to complete the project ahead of the stipulated schedule, creating a win-win situation.
