The Hotel of Miracles

Singapore Marina Bay Sands Hotel called ‘Miracle of 21st Century Architecture’

Making the dream building a reality

A miraculous building with urban glittering skyscrapers and the sea. With three towers connected as one and a swimming pool that captures the sky on top, Marina Bay Sands Hotel is a masterpiece created by Ssangyong E&C’s challenge.

A large-scale complex resort development project promoted by Singapore and an architectural miracle of the 21st Century drawing international acclaim. Beyond a simple resort, this space turns imagination into reality.

SkyPark at 200 Meters

Dream of Architect

10 Times the Tilt of the Leaning Tower of Pisa

Marina Bay Sands Hotel is a miraculous building that leans up to 52°. This was technically impossible, about 10 times the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

To ensure stability from construction to completion, creative methods called post-tensioning and temporary bracing were applied, successfully overcoming the difficulties.

Dramatically Tilted

Dream of Architect

Swimming pool and sky park 200m above the ground

Marina Bay Sands Hotel includes a giant ship-shaped 'Sky Park' connecting the upper parts of three buildings.

Housing a pool, observatory, garden, trail, and restaurants, Sky Park is 20m taller than the Eiffel Tower (320m), spans two soccer fields (12,408㎡), and weighs over 60,000 tons—equal to 40,000 midsize cars.

Technology

New Challenge in Architectural Engineering

TERS(Temporary Earth Retaining Structure) Shortened construction period

Donut and Peanut-shaped D-Walls (diameter 100m and 75m) support 3 underground floors without Struts, enabling large space and faster construction.

Jump Lift Shortened construction period

Lift installed early by blocking shaft with deck at mid-construction stage, allowing extra lifting and reducing construction time.

Vertical Post Tension Sloped Structure Construction Method

Post Tension added floor by floor to resist cantilever loads until full integration with the 23F transfer truss.

Temporary Bracing Sloped Structure Construction Method

Three-tier steel struts (8F, 14F, 20F) supported Maximum
1,050 tons each during slope construction.

24 Hour
Monitoring System
Building Quality Management Method

Real-time monitoring controlled displacement and deflection within design limits; auto SMS alerts activated at risk level.

Transfer Truss Building top load distribution method

23F embedded transfer truss distributed loads (60:40) between sloped (52°) and vertical towers, securing structural unity.
