11:55 - 12:20 - Construction of Changi Airport Terminal 4 – innovation and challenges
Synopsis: Terminal 4 (T4) is an addition to Changi Airport’s family of three terminals, which is expected to be ready by 2017. It will boost Changi Airport’s current capacity of 66 mppa by another 16 million. A two-storey building with a height of 25m, T4 will have a gross floor area of about 195,000m2 (approximately 27 football pitches). To meet the ambitious construction period and early building watertight requirement for baggage handling system installation, innovative and unconventional construction solutions have been adopted. Unlike the conventional approach where the building is constructed in horizontal layers, T4 is constructed in vertical slices.
