ONE of the most photographed backdrops in Singapore has to be the visually arresting Marina Bay Sands SkyPark, with its unmistakable ship-like platform floating on top of the three hotel towers overlooking the city.
Such an enormous and complex structure required a building and construction firm that could rise up to the challenge, and that was exactly what local company Prime Structures Engineering did.
"This was 57 stories up without any scaffolding, so we had to devise a special platform that could support the people below. The concept was given by the client, but we made it a working design. That was the most prestigious job that prepared us to venture overseas," describes Sonny Bensily, chief executive and founder of Prime Structures.
