BG&E was engaged by the builder, Multiplex, to provide construction engineering and temporary works services to Sapphire by the Gardens, a development that comprises two concrete towers – a 59 storey hotel named Shangri-La by the Gardens, and a 57 storey residential tower called Sapphire by the Gardens. Notably, these luxury towers are interconnected by an innovative sky bridge located on the 46th floor.

We provided a full range of construction engineering and temporary works services to the residential and hotel mixed-use development – including tower cranes, temporary propping, shoring of Alimak, man and materials hoists, and construction logistics at roof level.

A noteworthy side project that stemmed from the development was the crane lift of a three million dollar McLaren supercar to its new home in the 54th floor penthouse of Sapphire by the Gardens.

BG&E was asked to conduct a peer review and proof engineer for the proposed crane lift of the supercar – a delicate operation that involved meticulous review of the car’s rigging arrangement to ensure a secure and level operation. Upon assessing the proposal, our team identified that the clearance under the McLaren was only 60 millimetres, prompting us to propose crucial modifications to facilitate the successful crane lift of the McLaren.
