SkyPark goes up

Posted on 2 Oct 2009 | Comments Off on SkyPark goes up

THE first piece of the jigsaw forming the 340m Sands SkyPark was put up yesterday morning. The SkyPark is perched 200m above the Marina Bay Sands integrated resort.

It took the construction team 15 hours just to lift the 330-tonne section and another nine hours to slide it into place. It will take about three months to fit the 14 pieces together, making a total of 7,000 tonnes which rest on the resort’s three hotel blocks.

Marina Bay Sands is slated to open in the first quarter of next year.
