The building had a 23-month contract period, and was completed in 1997.〔 Other firms involved in the project include Pontiac Marina, Dragages at Travaux Publics, Meinhardt, Sika Services AG, Building Systems, Moody's Investors Service, and McKinsey & Company. Although completed in 1997, it was structurally designed and built to allow for future upward expansion by as much as 15 additional stories to reach 52 stories. During the construction of the building, the use of innovative and newer construction techniques allowed it to rise 20 stories in just 3 months, one of the fastest rates of construction then seen in Singapore. This enabled the contractor to save 5 months of construction, as compared to using the conventional method. Precast staircases, prefabricated reinforcement for the core walls, beams and columns were also used to enhance the productivity on site.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Centennial Tower (Singapore)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
