Project Highlight:
A fast-track construction project demonstrating Amain’s ability to plan, execute and deliver complex project with cross-disciplinary and highly specialized engineering background (from civil to foundation, demolition to building, building services to landscaping).
This project involves extensive cut-slope and slope protection work prior forming the foundation of the columbarium building. The geological profile and staggered building shape (aim to improve natural air ventilation and draw-in natural sunlight) impose various degree of challenges during both substructure and superstructure construction phase.
