A New Bridge Proposal Taylor’s University Lakeside Campus

Foundation in Natural and Built Environments

Introduction to the Construction Industry [QSB 30105]

Assignment 3

The Project Brief

Name: Pang Khai Shuen Name: Yong Yu Joon

Student ID: 0318423 Student ID: 0318299

Introduction to the Site:

The site measures about 9m x

30m and is located at the lake in

Taylor’s University Lakeside

Campus. The lake measures 5.5

acres and is man made with the

construction of the Lakeside

Campus.

Site Analysis:

Accessibility:

The boardwalk is usually not utilised because it is hard to reach and does not lead to any other

places. Building the bridge will help to draw people in as it will lead to the commercial block.

Walkability:

Before Construction

Students from Block C, D and E have to take a long

walk to reach the commercial block. To get to the

opposite, the average time needed is 5 minutes.

After Construction:

Students can now access the boardwalk

and reach the commercial block via the

bridge. This will shorten the time needed

to around 1 minute

Suggestion and Proposal:

It is hereby proposed to build a food and beverage bridge from Block E of

Taylor’s University Lakeside Campus to Commercial Block.

The bridge is a 30m long suspension bridge, with 6m width at the narrow point and

9m width at the bulging point. There are 8 suspension points on the bridge as

indicated in the following drawing.

The bridge is split into 3 segments, and each segment has a 6m x 4m capsule that can

be rented as cafes. There are also 3m x 1m tables accompanied by 6 chairs between

each capsule. Each capsule will be fitted with 2 sliding doors to prevent space

wastage by the door arc.

The main material for this bridge is tempered glass. 22mm glass is used for the

flooring, 1.2m high 12mm glass is used for the steel railing, 8mm glass is used for the

capsule wall, and 12.38mm laminated glass is used for the capsule canopy.

This bridge will serve as a new walkway for students and staffs in the university, and

also provide a new location for food and beverage.

Rationale and benefits:

a. Benefits to client:

i. Earns extra income as stalls on the bridges can be rented, generating

extra income.

b. Benefits to students: i. Provides a new location for students to spend extra time.

ii. Provides better access for students to the Commercial Block.

iii. Provides new alternatives of food and beverages for students.

c. Benefits to the Campus: i. Increases campus value.

ii. Enhances the lake view.

iii. Improves walkability around the campus.
