Kicking off
Issue 1 2011
It’s been a while since our last Profile and no doubt we’ve
been busy! Construction on Singapore Sports Hub’s new
55,000-seat stadium has kicked off and we’re extremely
pleased to have completed the entire roof steelwork design
using Building Information Modelling (BIM).
BIM has become the industry’s latest buzzword,
following the launch of the Building Construction
Authority’s (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 Singapore’s 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, we’re happy to share a number of
our significant wins this year including two packages
for the Land Transport Authority’s Thomson Line, the
Capitol Site redevelopment and the new Tanjong Pagar
mixed development by GuocoLand. In addition, our
Green Mark wins at this year’s 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. Let’s continue to be
relentless in our pursuit of a sustainable future for the
next generation and beyond.

Addressing the issue of comfort in the tropics, Arup’s 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
Singapore’s 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
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.
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.
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.
Some water, please?
If only I had a dollar for every time
I’ve heard the question, ‘What
is BIM?’ It appears to me that a
haphazard understanding of BIM
is costing the industry
both in terms
of cost and
efficiency.
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. It’s really
about beginning with the end in
mind – what do we want to achieve?
Whether you’re 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.

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?
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.
“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.”

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 Arup’s 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 Singapore’s largest
integrated resort, Resorts World Sentosa and
one of Asia’s most coveted luxurious residential
development, Sentosa Cove – both of which Arup
has had a role in.

Inspired by the colours and sights of a tropical island,
the 49ha development features a stone-clad façade.
As the appointed QP for Crockfords Tower, Hotel Michael
and Festive Hotel and FestiveWalk, we provided design
inputs and carried out overall site inspection to realise
its architectural vision. We were also involved in the
installation of the façades for these hotels.
Sitting on a cliff-top, The Beaufort Singapore is
a colonial-style resort hotel. As a reflection of its
charming design, Arup developed a reinforced concrete
solution for the hotel’s structure and private garden
villas. A retaining wall stabilises a slope located at
the back of the hotel, ensuring that guests can relax
comfortably in its swimming pool.

Arup’s 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.

Do you know?
Sentosa means peace and tranquility in the Malay language
Lighting up a tropical metropolis
and garden city
With tastefulness and elegance as
part of the Urban Redevelopment
Authority’s 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 façades
which feature quite prominently
among shopping complexes along
Singapore’s Orchard Road. They
are not just mere forms of
illumination but also specific
points of interest as demonstrated
in Arup’s 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

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.
Award-winning designers
At Arup, lighting is an integral and
important element of intelligent
building design, as well as a specialty
field on its own. Singapore’s lighting
team is part of a global network of
11 lighting offices and with more
than 60 designers specialising in
natural light, fixture design, brand
identity, lighting engineering and
the artistry of light, we are able to
harness some of the best solutions
for our projects and give them the
spotlight they deserve.

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

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.
The city’s 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.

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.

Sentosa Cove is Singapore version’s 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.
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.

Singapore’s Prestigious New Address
1. The largest zero-energy LED display in the world, West Beijing’s Greenpix Media Wall is a
triumph of energy-efficient lighting design.
2.Tampa Museum of Art’s façade 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 Stadium’s lighting is akin to a Chinese lantern, with a stunning result of the
national icon glowing from within.
4.As a testament to Louis Vuitton’s classic elegance, interior and façade 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 façades of its kind, Galleria was the creation of Arup and UNStudio,
and was once again back on the map of Seoul’s most fashionable district when it opened in 2004.
6.The emphasis for lighting Singapore’s 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.

Arup awarded two design
packages for Thomson Line,
Singapore
Singapore’s Land Transport
Authority (LTA) has appointed Arup
to provide design and construction
consultancy for two out of five
design packages for Thomson Line
– Singapore’s sixth Mass Rapid
Transit (MRT) line that will double
the country’s mass rapid transport
network by 2020.
Thomson Line will connect Marina
Bay through the central business
district to the northern tip of Singapore.
The first package awarded to Arup
includes three stations. The second
package includes six stations.
All onboard with GIS!
The Thomson 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.

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 Singapore’s first green building rating
system in 2005 and has set out for
80% of the city’s building stock to
achieve a Green Mark rating by 2030.
According to Arup’s 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.
