HDB to pilot 'beamless' flat designs in new Tengah BTO project (CNA)

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.

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.

Beamless flats, smart crane systems to be piloted in Tengah BTO ... (The Straits Times)

This will give residents greater flexibility to configure the layout of their flat. Read more at straitstimes.com.

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 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 had reached its previous target of a 25 per cent increase by 2020. Currently, beams are needed to connect fully 3D precast components. "It will also seek to break new ground with the use of sustainable construction methods," said Mr Lee.
