Developer: Capitaland Category: Commercial
Funan Mall presents a new standard for retail malls with cool offerings including a 200-metre cycling lane, a rock-climbing wall and a high-tech food court. Built at the heart of the Singapore CBD, Funan was an ideal case for PanU LSS® (Liquified Soil Stabiliser). Its construction within a heavily congested area was made easier with the high fluidity and self-compacting properties of the LSS that does not require noisy vibrators to settle the concrete.
Gardens By The Bay
Singapore, 2012
Developer: Gardens By The Bay Category: Commercial
The much-loved Gardens by the Bay is a 101-hectare (250 acre) multi-award winning horticultural destination on reclaimed land, adjacent to the Marina Reservoir. Its two seashell-domed greenhouses use PanU GreenTM concrete with a high design mix content of recycled raw materials. The project also found various uses for PanU ColourTM concrete, which further saved on painting and manpower.
Guoco Tower
Singapore, 2017
Developer: GuocoLand Category: Commercial
The tallest building in Singapore, Guoco Tower, formerly known as Tanjong Pagar Centre, was completed in 2017. The 64-storey, 290-metre-high mixed-use project was designed with a mix of luxury residential, hotel and office space.
Pan-United broke the record for the single largest self-compacting concrete (SCC) pour in Singapore by supplying 13,500m3 of concrete – enough to fill five Olympic-sized swimming pools – to create a gigantic raft foundation. The pour employed a continuous convoy of trucks at precise intervals over just 41 hours, at one truck every one-and-a-half minutes.
Helix Bridge
Singapore, 2010
Developer: Urban Redevelopment Authority, Singapore Category: Commercial
Inspired by the human DNA, the Helix Bridge is one of Singapore’s architectural icons. The aesthetically pleasing Helix Bridge is embedded with PanU Watercrete®, a specialised concrete with anti-wash and self-compacting properties. Its structural concrete columns are formed with PanU Watercrete® which flows and casts underwater naturally – unlike conventional concrete that requires time and costs to pump out water before filling the columns.
Jewel Changi Airport
Singapore, 2019
Developer: Changi Airport Group/CapitaLand/Jewel Changi Airport Trustee Pte. Ltd. Category: Commercial
Truly a gem amongst Singapore’s iconic attractions, the award-winning Jewel Changi Airport is a uniquely conceived, airport-adjacent retail and entertainment hub designed by prominent architect Moshe Safdie. The Jewel emphasises harmony between nature and the urban environment, the Jewel is world-renown for awe-inspiring sights that include the world’s tallest indoor waterfall and Asia’s largest interior garden.
A structure as intricate as Jewel required the use of multiple specialised concretes that lowered its carbon footprint. Among them were PanU GreenTM , a concrete with high recycled raw material content, and the highly flowable PanU SCC® (Self-Compacting Concrete) to ensure uniform distribution of concrete, which is ideal for building in the sensitive environment of an airport.
Labrador Mass Pour
Singapore, 2022
Developer: SP PowerAssets Limited Category: Infrastructure
In November 2020, Pan-United achieved a new national record for the largest two continuous concrete pours within a month. A total of 37,258m3 of concrete, enough to fill 14 Olympic swimming pools, was poured non-stop in two separate pours, each lasting three days. Mixer truck convoys delivered the concrete non-stop every 60 seconds.
PanU CoolTM was used specifically to minimise the possibility of thermal cracking and to improve structural durability. Safe distancing was enhanced with the use of a new concrete called PanU NewGen SCCTM that needs only a single worker to direct the flowing concrete. Safety was also boosted with new digital processes such as e-delivery orders and e-sampling.
Landmark 81
Vietnam, 2018
Developer: Vinhomes Category: Commercial
The ultra-chic Atkins-designed Landmark 81 skyscraper is Vietnam’s tallest building. The 81-storey high-end mixed-use tower will soar 461 metres high from a square footprint as 25 remarkable thin sections of various heights. Located along the Saigon River in Binh Thanh District, near Saigon Bridge, Landmark 81 is part of a S$1.5 billion luxury multi-functional ecological urban project. A combination of PanU SCCTM (Self-Compacting Concrete), PanU CoolTM (Temperature-Controlled concrete) and PanU Early StrengthTM concrete was specially formulated to shape this feat.
National Cancer Centre
