Near shore floating structures allow marine spaces to be used for social purposes in urban and industrial areas as well as in infrastructure development. Although near shore floating structure technology is well-established, such structures are largely developed using steel or FRP composite material. In contrast, post-tensioning and reinforced concrete are extensively used for industrial and infrastructural applications, such as deep offshore marine and coastal protection structures. This presentation shall discuss the environmental impact, design and construction challenges of Singapore’s first floating concrete environmental structures. It shall also highlight the advantages of these structures and the various possible applications. The presentation is expected to promote understanding of how floating structures using structural post-tensioned concrete in any desired direction can resist stress from heavy and complex loads. Knowing how these structures work is increasingly crucial given their cost, durability and sustainability, as well as the need to innovate in the use of structural concrete in marine environments. Overall, the presentation of Singapore’s First Residential Floating environmental deck aims to provide innovative technology for coastal nearshore development which adapts to sea level rise to address land shortages and the threat of climate change is expected to contribute to the development of floating structure development in Singapore.

Colin Yip is Director of Engineering at Woh Hup who has broad range of structural design experience in Projects of various typology in Singapore, Netherlands and China. He has very deep interests in Building and Infrastructure design and has participated in significant Projects both local and abroad (Marina Bay Sands, Singapore Sports hub, South Beach Development, Clifford Redevelopment, Science Park Redevelopment, Loyang and Punggol MRT Stations and others). He believes in the future of amalgamating traditional engineering and architectural with digital or innovation use of materials while maintain rooted to the strong sense of giving back to the society by inspiring the next generation to aspire or dream and bring the profession to new frontier
