Marina Bay has changed a lot over the years, some of you might remember that before all this was built the area was the go-to place to fly kites, go bowling, or even have cheap steamboats.
多年來,濱海灣已經發生了很大的變化,其中有些人可能還記得,在建造所有這一切之前,該地區是放風筝,打保齡球甚至是廉價汽船的理想之地。
And if we go even further back, Marina Bay was just the open sea. If we look at this own map of Singapore back in the 1940s, even noticed that Marina Bay did not exist.
如果再往前看,濱海灣就只是空空的海。如果我們回顧一下1940年代的新加坡地圖,甚至會注意到濱海灣不存在。
So how did this become this?
那麽,這是怎麽變成這樣呢?
To find out how it was done, I caught up with Mr. Ho. Why him?
爲了弄清楚是怎麽做的,我采訪了何先生。爲什麽是他?
He’s currently a coastal engineer at Sarbana Jurong. The veteran engineer has worked on many land reclamation projects. He says that the reclamation of marine south and marina east was special.
他目前是Savannah Jerome的海岸工程師。這位資深工程師曾參與許多土地開墾項目。他說,濱海灣南部和東部的開墾是很特別的。
We are stepping here right now is the land reclamation that we carry out 1979. We got the young materials from Tampines and acute damage.
我們現在正踏上這片土地,這是我們1979年進行的土地開墾。我們從淡濱尼得到了這些材料,並開始建設。
That time Tampines was a high ground with some hills, so we took the materials from the high ground and cut it down and formed a platform for the housing development and state and in Java to drawing away. We recycle and bring it over to the marinas south here for land reclamation.
那個時候,淡濱尼還是一片有很多山丘的高地。所以我們把材料從高處搬運下來,並爲開發提供了平台。 我們實際上進行了回收,並將其帶到此處的碼頭以進行土地開墾。
How do you at each one spot those materials over to vary up exactly a semi?
您如何將這些材料准確地放在每個位置上?
The same as what you see in the Japanese restaurant, they transport by the belt conveyor system, but was this a conversa stage is much larger and much longer.
跟您在日本料理餐廳看到的一樣,它們通過皮帶輸送機系統進行運輸,但這個體積更大而且更長。
The conveyor system is 1400 millimeters in width and a total of 26 thousand meters in length.
輸送機系統的寬度爲1400毫米,總長度爲26000米。
Do we still flatten hills in Singapore for land reclamation?
新加坡現在還在開墾山地嘛?
In Singapore, for land reclamation we don’t have such a luxury of having so many hills that we can use raw material from. We still can’t avoid to have this in Patterson from outside. But then, this won’t keep to the minimum and the few materials we use locally is a major component.
在新加坡我們沒有這麽多山地可以用來開墾。實際上,我們仍然不能避免從外部獲取材料。但是,這會減少到最低限度,在本地使用的少量材料是主要組成部分。
Now they use materially coming from different sources, different construction sites, and even MRT stations.
現在,他們實際上是使用來自不同的來源,不同的建築工地的材料,甚至來自地鐵站。
What’s the most satisfying part of your job?
您工作中最滿意的部分是什麽?
What actually is very uh so far fulfilling plus you can get to see that the land active form in front of you. For the project involved in a marina is a marina, so I used to tell my children that the land I have a hand inactive is building it.
到目前爲止,實際上是非常令人滿意的,再加上您可以看到面前的土地活躍形態。所以我曾經告訴我的孩子,我實際參與其中的土地正在建造中。
