4.05 pm Smart Digital Control for PPVC installation by: Welltech Construction Pte Ltd (PIA 2021 – Gold Winner)

Synopsis:
Today, PPVC technology has further evolved to have various sized modules within a building and reduced to 2 sides instead of 4 sides. To improve the productivity and achieve greater cost savings, the idea of designing a lifting frame that can hoist and balance all PPVC modules was crucial. To further enhance the lifting process, IDD was implemented through an innovative system that aided the lifting team in setting up all lifting gear in an incredibly short time. In summary, we achieved a 70% increment on our productivity and overall cost reduction of 34% from the original budget.

4.30pm Innovative short PVD method which enhances the productivity and safety of working on slurry clay by: Santarli Construction Pte Ltd
(PIA 2021 – Silver Winner)


Synopsis:
In the past, sand has typically been used for infilling and reclamation works in Singapore but the process of importing sand is complex and costly. Singapore has thus pivoted to using excavated materials such as soft clay from local construction sites for infilling works instead of sand.  However, the infilled soft clay is slurry in nature and does not have sufficient bearing capacity for machinery to positioned on to do subsequent sand laying and soil improvement works. Santarli has devised an innovative solution to address the shortcomings of the conventional method yet improving productivity by almost 300% with enhanced occupational health and safety.
