Abstract

The striking 258 m tall Grand Lisboa hotel and casino project in Macau was completed in 2008 on schedule and within budget using fast-track construction techniques. This paper describes the project requirements and the innovative contractual and technical solutions adopted, including top-down construction, diaphragm walling, piling, rock excavation, composite construction and fibre-reinforced sprayed concrete. Wherever possible, temporary works were combined into the permanent structure to achieve rapid construction at economic cost.
