Skypark Singapore

Skypark Singapore
The main island of Singapore is just 263 square miles, making it one of the smallest countries in the world. But this little country is attempting to become a big player in global tourism in the world nearly double the number of visitors by 2015. workers have now reached the final and most difficult stage of construction. If they don't finish by opening date in March, delays will cost up to $100 million a month.The main part of that park is the Marina Bay Sands Resort. It's the largest construction project in this country's history and the most expensive building on the planet,nearest $5.5 billion.

World's Largest  Public Park
Singapore is known as the Garden City, so the crowning element atop the entire project will be the world's largest and highest floating park, the Sands SkyPark. This one of a kind public space will be perched atop the hotel's three 55-story towers. Once finished, the SkyPark will be longer than the Eiffel Tower, making it
the largest cantilevered public space in the world. To hoist the 7,000 ton structure over 600 feet up, engineers will attempt to lift 14 segments with a bridge-building technology in what will be the highest strand-jacking operation ever.

World's First Transformable Amphitheater
The resort will literally spill into Singapore's Marina Bay with a 10,000- person event plaza built right in the water. What makes this outdoor amphitheater so unique is its ability to transform itself for different events. The seating platforms will stand on motorized screw jacks, so they can be lowered to face the marina for water shows, or raised to face the resort for land events.

Biggest Casino Atrium with the World's Largest Chandelier
A key part of Singapore's plan to increase tourism is the Marina Bay Sands Casino, the country's first legalized gambling venue. Covering 160,000 square feet over four floors, it will be the largest casino atrium in the world. installing the world's largest chandelier in this massive atrium is precise work because the ceiling structure is still settling in unpredictable ways. Each section of the 7-ton chandelier must be 3D scanned to make sure it fits perfectly into its unique location.

Singapore's Iconic Museum
The Art-Science Museum will be Singapore's version of the Sydney Opera House. The iconic structure will resemble a welcoming hand on the edge of the waterfront, with galleries housed in suspended 40 foot long steel fingers that will hang from the museum's central core. The core will also capture rainwater, and channel it into an indoor waterfall through the atrium below. Each massive segment is unique, so building this structure is like assembling a giant jigsaw puzzle, one piece at a time.
