SYNOPSIS

This award winning landmark project with very tight construction schedule was completed on 18th July 2017, more than 5 months ahead of time with the Qlassic score of 81% and within budgeted cost. On top of that 5.5 million Total Man Hour without Loss Time Injury has been achieved.  Extraordinary architecture featured three (3) elevated high office towers, seven (7) levels of podium and one –level  sub-basement . All the three (3) blocks were supported by a series of inclined freestanding 2.0m   and 2.5m  diameter mega columns ranging from 28m to 40m in height, without any intermediate bracing.  These inclined freestanding mega columns were designed to support the transfer slab ranging from 1.2mto 1.8m thick at the height of 28m to 40m above ground level. For each tower the horizontal different from level 8 to rooftop was about 4.5m to 5.5m outward. This make the building structure inclined together with the unitized glass panel. Beside the inclination , the curvature façade creates the glass panel to be distorted.  This paper is highlighted the main challenges encountered and shared the many innovations created to overcome  these challenges:

- Foundation issues (Hard Rock Encounter)
- Inclined mega column
- Unitized Curtain Wall  on Twisted Facade
