The Garden Waterfront I & II @ Tengah will be launched in November 2022 and built using new innovations and technologies.
"It will also seek to break new ground with the use of sustainable construction methods. "In fact, HDB is an early adopter of prefab technology. It first used precast components in construction in the 1980s. Advertisement HDB will also test innovations from construction firm Obayashi, including the use of artificial intelligence to optimise hoisting of precast components in tower crane operations. SINGAPORE: An upcoming Build-to-Order (BTO) project in Tengah town will feature "beamless" flats providing more headroom and flexibility to configure layouts, as part of an initiative by the Housing and Development Board (HDB) to pilot the latest construction technologies.
SINGAPORE - A beamless flat design will be trialled in two Build-To-Order (BTO) projects in Tengah which will be launched in November.
The SkyJuster, a device which controls the direction of cargo lifted by cranes, will be used to orientate precast elements to its correct positions before they are lowered into place. From this, the project team can identify and resolve potential issues down the line, like pipes or switches clashing, which could reduce wastage on-site. HDB chief executive Tan Meng Dui said the adoption of new technologies "will also enhance the resilience of our construction ecosystem, support the ramp up of HDB's building programme over the next few years and deliver HDB flats faster to our buyers". It had reached its previous target of a 25 per cent increase by 2020. In response to queries, HDB said the cost of adopting the technologies is expected to be slightly higher, but this will not affect flat prices. Currently, beams are needed to connect fully 3D precast components.
In the upcoming Tengah BTO project, HDB is piloting a beamless flat design. This is part of their new Construction Transformation Project.
This is both due to worker shortage and supply chain resilience.

From this, the project team can identify and resolve potential issues down the line, like pipes or switches clashing, which could reduce wastage on-site. HDB will also pilot the use of fibre-glass reinforced concrete material for small streetscape furniture such as benches and other landscape features in the Tengah BTO projects.

It will also be the However, the plan was reviewed and revised in July 2021 following public outcry. Parking spaces will be prioritised for residents. The blocks facing Ulu Pandan Canal will be low-rise, while those closer to Commonwealth Avenue West will be high-rise, said the Housing Board on Thursday. The first project will comprise 1,330 three-room and four-room flats in housing blocks with staggered heights to maximise views of the nearby Ulu Pandan Canal and the Holland Grove landed estate beyond.
