INTERNATIONAL
EXPERIENCE
As globalisation alters economic landscape, infrastructure owners and
operators, airport authorities, and government agencies engage GHD to
work in collaboration with them to deliver world-class iconic projects.
The World’s Tallest Building
The centrepiece of a huge mixed-use development,
the 160-storey Burj Dubai Tower is expected to rise

the current tallest building in Taipei.
GHD was commissioned to design and review
the installation of a cathodic protection system
to conserve the reinforced concrete piles and raft
foundation, as well as provide advice regarding
methods to secure the longer-term durability of
the foundation. The team was further engaged as
the Independent Verification and Testing Agency to
assess the concrete, steel and other key materials
used in the project.

the port, a new international airport and the
establishment of several new townships.
The local authority has a vision of transforming
Bintulu into a ‘Friendly Garden City’ by the year
2020. This requires integrated planning for the
urban and rural regions.
To help achieve this vision, GHD was engaged to:
»Prepare a ‘Regional Strategic Development
Plan’. The plan will guide the growth of Bintulu
over the next 20 years. Development of the plan
involves identifying suitable areas and models
for growth, and developing implementation
strategies (including timing and costs) to plan for
sustainable economic development of the area,
while also protecting the natural environment
and people’s quality of life.
»Develop ‘Structure and Local Plans’ for the
larger urban centres such as Bintulu, Tatau and
Kuala Similajau. Action plans will be prepared
to guide infrastructure development and more
detailed local plans for the smaller urban centres
will be created.
Miri Regional Study, Sarawak
The Miri Regional Study is an integrated urban
and regional plan that will create a “Strong and
Sustainable” Miri Division by 2020. The strategy
of the study includes actions that will protect and
enhance biodiversity and reduce the inequalities
between urban and rural communities.
It aims to provide new road access to remote
villages, integrated tourism and to support
downstream economic development as well as
providing value adding opportunities for logging
and plantation forestry activities, and a platform
for structural transformation of the Miri
agricultural sector.
This study also introduced initiatives to support
livestock and fisheries development in Miri, new
regional transport hub capabilities and water and
wastewater improvement plans for urban areas.
Miri was then declared a “Resort City” in May 2005.

DUTA PLAZA CONDITION SURVEY
GHD completed the condition survey of the Duta
Plaza commercial retail and hotel complex for the
Malaysian arm of Leighton Contractors. The Duta
Plaza, which is located opposite of Petronas Twin
Towers of Kuala Lumpur, came to an abrupt halt
in the Asian economic crisis in 1997, with five of
the six basement levels flooded. GHD undertook a
comprehensive investigation of the building defects
and made recommendations for repairs.
BEACH NOURISHMENT WORKS IN
PORT DICKSON
GHD was engaged on the beach rehabilitation works
that involved the nourishment through hydraulic
filling with approved sea sand of Port Dickson.
Works span a distance of 5.1km, from Bagan
Pinang to Tanjung Lembah.
Discovery Gardens, a 420,000 square meter
development in Dubai, is a pre-designed complex
comprised of themed communities in a variety of
garden experiences, which include Mediterranean,
Zen, Contemporary, Cactus, Mogul and
Mesoamerican.

AN ELEGANT DESIGN IN DOHA
The Al Bidda Tower is the first of many such
landmark buildings being constructed on Doha’s
waterfront esplanade.
GHD completed the design – from the initial
concept to the final development – and it conforms
to exceptional standards of aesthetics, quality
and excellence. Among the features incorporated
into the tower are elevations derived from the
concept of a tornado. The design creates a unique
twist in the tower that gives the impression of
dynamic movement.
Al Bidda is much like a sculpture with its glass
façade. It will shine in the Gulf sunlight, presenting a
different appearance from each angle of observation.
The façade is formed from the utilisation of an
unconventional diagonal curtain wall, which
accommodates varying floor plates and results in an
elegant waisted spiralling surface that culminates at
the top with an illuminated chamfered roof.
The tower includes commercial office space on all
43 levels and offers a panoramic view of the Gulf’s
magnificent blue water.
