TLDR: China Construction (South Pacific) Development Co (CCDC) successfully delivered the Plantation Village BTO project in Tengah on schedule, despite pandemic-related challenges. This achievement was made possible through the implementation of 24/7 shift rotations and advanced AI monitoring systems, ensuring safety, efficiency, and quality.
China Construction (South Pacific) Development Co (CCDC) has successfully completed the Plantation Village Build-To-Order (BTO) project in Tengah, delivering over 1,800 new homes, community spaces, and green amenities to residents on time. This timely delivery, particularly notable amidst the Covid-19 pandemic which caused delays in many other developments, was attributed to the builder’s strategic deployment of round-the-clock shift rotations and cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) monitoring systems.
The project, encompassing 15 residential blocks and the Plantation Plaza neighbourhood centre, required meticulous planning due to complex and interlocking schedules, such as aligning tower crane placements and precast deliveries with varying block completion dates. The construction of two multi-storey car parks, featuring a connecting basement car park and an environmental deck, also demanded careful coordination to uphold safety and efficiency standards.
To navigate these complexities, CCDC leveraged advanced technologies, including AI safety monitoring and comprehensive Building Information Modelling (BIM). AI-enabled surveillance cameras played a crucial role in minimizing on-site accidents by continuously monitoring and flagging unsafe behaviour in real-time. This proactive approach significantly enhanced safety protocols on the construction site.
Furthermore, BIM technology was instrumental in creating virtual sample units for each apartment type. This allowed for the early detection and resolution of potential technical challenges before physical construction, contributing to higher quality homes. BIM also facilitated the construction of the neighbourhood’s centralized cooling system, an energy-efficient, water-cooled system designed to reduce utility bills and carbon footprints for residents.
