National Heart Centre Project

National Heart Centre Singapore (NHCS) is a 12-storey hospital. The first six floors house the active zone of the hospital, with labs, facilities for surgery, radiology, and similar programs. The upper part of the building, floors 7-10, focuses on portions that are patient-free, such as facilities for staff training. A vital feature of the Heart Center lies in its abundance of open spaces, namely courtyards, and gardens, that are fused with natural light and are naturally ventilated to complement the healing process.

The project required ground monitoring as well as risk assessment during the construction works. Our marketing associate in the region provided the monitoring work. A number of our sensors were used, including 15 numbers of piezometers and 46 numbers of arc weldable strain gages. All sensors (100%) have operated satisfactorily.
