HDB to pilot 'beamless' flat designs in new Tengah BTO project

SINGAPORE — An upcoming Build-to-Order project in Tengah town will feature"beamless" flats providing more headroom and flexibility to configure layouts, as part of an initiative by the Housing and Development Board to pilot the latest construction technologies.

The ceremony, held at the Resorts World Convention Centre, will see Mr Lee present awards to HDB building contractors and architectural consultants for their contributions. The beamless flat design to be trialed in Tengah will be made possible through a hybrid precast system involving both 2D and 3D precast components.

Under its Construction Transformation Project, HDB will also seek to improve the design process by modelling flats virtually instead of physically. Under the Construction Transformation Project, it will go"one step further" and use special fibreglass reinforced concrete material, HDB said.
