May 27, 2010

The Company is pleased to advise that the Marina Bay Sands Integrated Resort (MBSIR) Project in Singapore has achieved 1,000,000 man-hours LTI free.

The 40 acre MBSIR includes three 50 storey hotel towers, linked at the top by a two acre sky garden; 90 000m² of retail outlets, a casino and museum; state-of-the art convention centre, 5,000m² event plaza and two 2,000 seat theatres.

McConnell Dowell is undertaking construction of a continuous piled promenade deck, special events plaza superstructure and two special large diameter circular cofferdams for the exclusive semi-submerged crystal pavilions in the bay complete with underwater tunnel access to the casino.

This project has showcased how safety begins at the top and must be driven pro-actively every day to ensure safety standards are maintained to the highest level, particularly for longer duration works.

This is a significant achievement for McConnell Dowell on this internationally recognised mega project which at peak has had over 15,000 people from 50 different contractors working on site.
