Simpletree Thikana, Rd 138, Gulshan-1

Simpletree Thikana comprises of two building units. A double unit per floor building, Thikana 2A and a single unit per floor structure, Thikana 2B. The two buildings are however placed in a single compound contained within the overall site. Building is placed aligned to south-western boundary to have free landscaped forecourt at the north main street.

Service core is positioned to in the best strategic placement while the two wings/flats are strategically configured to create the green front of a rectangular size. The units are laid asymmetrically to reflect proper response to climate and site context.

The architectural expression is defined by planes of concrete that shifts in its vertical journey. The inner layer of brick has intricate details that would reflect natural light wonderfully. The multiple layers would encourage interplay of light and shade.

Chittagong Outer Ring Road to open to traffic by Dec

Salamat Ullah

daily-sun-2018-09-12-26.jpg


Chattogram Development Authority (CDA) is going to open the under-construction ‘Chattogram City Outer Ring Road’, first of its kind, for traffic movement by December this year to ease gridlock in the port city.

Sources in the CDA said pressure of traffic will increase several times in the city after starting construction works of the 16.5-kilometre elevated expressway from Lalkhan Bazar to Chittagong Shah Amanat International Airport.

Construction works of the ‘Outer Ring Road’ is now going on in full swing to open it by the time, said CDA officials involved with the project.
However, other works of the much-awaited project will be carried out gradually within June next year.

The road primarily will be made fit for traffic movement. Then it will be developed as per project plan, they said.

Mentionable, development of a five-Km long tourist spot is a most important component of the coastal road cum embankment construction project.

The tourist spot will be developed with all modern facilities from the existing Patenga Sea Beach to five kilometers of the total 17km-long road project.

Walkway, sitting arrangement, kid’s zone, four jetties for sea cruise, car parking and toilet facilities will feature the tourist spot on the bank of the Bay of Bengal.

With the aim to give an eye-catching look at the tourist spot, the shops that developed earlier obstructing the eye-view at the beach have already been evicted.
The traders were also compensated and rehabilitated at the new spot.

While visiting the project site on Monday, this correspondent noticed that massive earthworks of the road and embankment had been going on marking a progress of over 70 percent of the project.

CDA has been constructing the 17Km long and 90-foot wide four-lane road on the existing coastal embankment stretching from Patenga to Faujdarhat area under the project.

The project aimed at protecting the Chattogram city from flood and tidal surge through strengthening the coastal embankment, easing traffic congestion through bypassing the heavy vehicles from the city and encouraging trade, industry, tourism and foreign investment through development of the areas.

Starting construction work of the project involving around Tk 2,500 crore in April in 2015, CDA has been strengthening the coastal embankment and raising its height from existing 20-23 feet to 30 feet above the mean sea level to save the coastal areas from natural calamities.

The works which are now going on include constructions of pavement from chainage 3km to 12km, flyover in Sagorika area, three sluice gates, and sitting deck slab on three bridges at 5km, 11Km and 14km.

Works of embankment filling from chainage 12Km to 15.2Km is at the ending stage, they said.

Moreover, constructions of slope protection from chainage 5.6Km to 12Km, sheet pile driving for the wave deflected wall within 5.50km and casting of the three bridges after piling works, pile cap and pier cap construction have already been completed.

CDA is also taking care of some other issues during construction of the ring road to be connected with approach road of the under construction Karnaphuli tunnel.

Contacted, the Project Director (PD) Engineer Kazi Hasan Bin Shams told the daily sun that one-layer carpeting of around five kilometer road stretching from Halishahar to EPZ areas was completed.

He hoped that they will be able to open the road for traffic movement by December this year.

The PD informed that south Chattogram-bound vehicles from Dhaka and other parts of the Country will enter the ‘Outer Ring Road’ through Faujdarhat area.

The vehicles will reach the mouth of the under-construction tunnel through the road and cross the tunnel beneath the river Karnaphuli to reach the South Chattogram, said Hasan, also superintendent engineer-1 of the CDA.

Mentionable, the Executive Committee of the National Economic Council (ECNEC) approved the project with an estimated budget of Tk 856.29 crore on March 29 in 2011.

But, delayed start of implementation process and subsequent increase in land acquisition cost forced CDA to prepare revised DPP.

Of the total Tk 2,500 crore, Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) will provide Tk 706.03 crore, said the sources.

CDA is also implementing the 16.5-kilometre elevated expressway from Lalkhan Bazar intersection to airport to facilitate traffic movement in the city.

The ECNEC approved the Tk 3,250.84 crore mega project, first of its kind in Chattogram, on July 11 last year.

China exports largest tunneling machine to Bangladesh for Karnaphuli River tunnel

tuneling-678x381.png


By Zhu Dongjun –China’s largest self-developed tunneling machine will be exported to Bangladesh to assist with a river tunneling project, breaking the export monopoly of ultra-large tunneling equipment once held by developed countries.

The machine, with a diameter of 12.12 meters and length of 94 meters, weighs 2,200 tons. It will be used for opening a 3,500-meter road tunnel under Karnaphuli River, China’s largest project of its kind overseas.

The project is important in the construction of the Belt and Road Initiative, and a key component of the Bangladesh-China-India-Myanmar economic corridor. It is believed to play a significant role in improving the Asian highway network and boosting connectivity between Bangladesh and its neighboring countries.

The export of the machine produced by Tianhe Mechanical Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd based in east China’s Jiangsu province will break the monopoly of ultra-large tunneling equipment by developed countries in the exports.

The exports of ultra-large shield tunneling machines were previously dominated by Germany, Japan and some other developed countries. China’s progress means its capacity in design, research and development of the machines has taken the lead.

“The tunnel construction has been a dream for Bangladesh people,” said Kabir Ahmed, chief engineer of the Bangladesh Bridge Authority, adding that the project adopts Chinese standards in design.

Delivery of the machine in such a short time fully demonstrates the “China speed”, the engineer pointed out.

Currently, Tianhe is developing a tunneling machine with a diameter of 13.19 meters that will be used on Southeast Asia’s first high-speed railroad linking Indonesian capital Jakarta to Bandung. By then, the machine will be the largest one working on the construction of Asian railways.

As for the next step, China plans to challenge the world record of tunneling machines by building one with a diameter of 18 meters, the equivalent of a six-storey building.

Through 10 years of effort, China has shifted from following others to keeping pace and strive to lead the development of the tunnelling machines, said Yang Huayong, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.

Yang said that China’s self-developed tunneling machines now occupy over 80 percent of China’s newly-added market share.

The Belt and Road Initiative has enabled more than 10 countries including Israel, Singapore and Thailand to use China-made tunneling equipment, according to Yang.

The Surbana Jurong team in Bangladesh has been engaged to provide Concept and Detail Design services for a 53-acre Ultra Luxury Residential Development at Dhaka, Bangladesh. The scope of work includes Engineering Survey and Investigation Support, Concept and Detail Engineering Design.

The development, which includes a 9-hole practice golf course, covers a total built-up area of approximately 12 million sq ft. It will be a spectacle in Dhaka’s cityscape, consisting of 20 residential towers that are 25 to 35 storeys high, and five 40-storey towers – the first of its kind in Bangladesh. The towers will be connected by three levels of elevated gardens.

This is Surbana Jurong’s first major urban project since the establishment of its branch office at Dhaka in January 2018, with the uniqueness of the Vision Concept master plan and strong client relations through SMEC, a member of the Surbana Jurong Group, being key contributors to the win.

The project duration is 20 months, with planned completion by April 2020.

Surbana Jurong is based and headquartered in Singapore.
