The Putrajaya Convention Centre
The latest addition to its portfolio of construction achievements is the successfully completed Putrajaya Convention Centre. Sitting majestically on the highest point, "Puncak Selatan" of Putrajaya, it is described not just as another landmark but an "icon for the country". Located in the Federal Administration Capital of Putrajaya, it is an impressive ultra-modern International Standard convention centre with the state-of-the-art convention facilities.
The successful handing-over of the completed project to the Government of Malaysia was indeed a very proud moment for IJM as it bears testimony to IJM's ability to undertake mega projects on its own.
This "fast track" project with the demands of its complex design and installation of sophisticated equipment had posed great challenges to the IJM team. Among the challenges were the construction of the column-free Banquet Hall, with a clear span of 70 meters, using composite steel-concrete structural frame and the Plenary Hall, with a clear span of 80 meters. A total of 7,500 tons of structural steel was erected in the project.
The successful completion of the entire building was due largely to the harmonization of structural design and the detailed and meticulous planning of the sequence of construction activities. This also includes its breathtaking interior design and the latest built-in state-of-the-art convention facilities.
Besides the timely delivery of the project, the high standard of quality achieved in the construction of the Putrajaya Convention Centre bears full testimony of IJM's philosophy of "Excellence Through Quality". |
