Additionally, the development will include an open public plaza, retail space and an underground pedestrian network.
Tiong Seng said the project will harness its in-house Prefabricated Prefinished Volumetric Construction (PPVC) capabilities, whereby free-standing volumetric modules are produced off-site at the Group’s production facility before being transported on-site for assembly.
Tiong Seng has an established track record in the application of PPVC technologies, a factor behind its third contract win this year. (See: TIONG SENG: Construction demand in 2020 to remain strong).
 "As the built environment sector continues to shift in favour of newer and more advanced technologies surrounding the Design for Manufacturing Approach (“DfMA”), we expect demand for solutions in this space to rise in the years ahead. "Positioned as one of the industry leaders in developing and adopting cutting-edge construction technologies, we are optimistic that we can build on this momentum to capitalise on future growth opportunities moving forward.” -- Pek Lian Guan, CEO of Tiong Seng Holdings (NextInsight file photo) |
The latest project wins will increase the Group’s construction order book size to approximately S$1.2 billion extending to 2023.
