Jewel Cataract Water Features
JEWEL CHANGI, SINGAPORE
The Jewel Cataract Water Features at Jewel Changi Airport is a 25-meter-tall cascading waterfall integrated into the indoor landscape, supported by a hydraulic system located 20 meters below the last pool. Our team collaborated with consultants, architects, and stakeholders to deliver full design development and BIM coordination, ensuring seamless integration of hydraulic systems with architectural and landscape elements while maintaining strict aesthetic and technical standards. The project involved precise system design for cascading pools, advanced parametric modeling to address complex geometry, and coordination within space constraints, all under a fast-track schedule. Key technical aspects included automated hydraulic flow control, UV sterilization, biofilters, and a chemical-free sustainable design. Using Autodesk Revit and Navisworks, we achieved LOD 400 for fabrication accuracy, performed clash detection, and implemented 4D sequencing for efficient installation. The outcome was a fully coordinated BIM model that reduced installation conflicts by 90%, preserved design intent, and enhanced stakeholder communication, highlighting the importance of early coordination and parametric modeling in complex, high-profile projects.

Rain Curtain Retrofit – Marina Bay Sands Level 3 Atrium
MARINA BAY SANDS, SINGAPORE
The project involved retrofitting an existing water features in the Level 3 Atrium that had persistent issues such as uncontrolled water splashing, inconsistent flow, and high maintenance requirements, which disrupted the ambience and posed safety concerns. The objective was to redesign the features to maintain its visual elegance while resolving these functional challenges through advanced hydraulic analysis and BIM-driven design optimization.
The team conducted a thorough assessment of the original design and site conditions, identifying root causes of splashing and noise before introducing a custom rain curtain system with calibrated nozzles for uniform water distribution. Integrated LED lighting was added to enhance visual appeal without increasing noise levels, and a specially designed basin with splash-control geometry was implemented to absorb water impact quietly. Extensive mock-up testing at a 45-degree angle allowed evaluation of multiple nozzle configurations, lighting effects, and splash mitigation strategies, ensuring the final design met performance and aesthetic requirements.
Following client approval and BIM validation, the optimized components were fabricated and installed successfully. The retrofit eliminated splashing, reduced noise by up to 90%, improved maintenance efficiency, minimized water loss, and delivered a modern, visually striking feature supported by BIM coordination for faster decision-making and seamless execution.

Wilmar HQ – Water Features
WILMAR HQ, SINGAPORE
The Wilmar HQ water features project centered on creating a signature landscaped pool with a dynamic vortex effect and a chemical-free circulation system, requiring precise hydraulic performance while preserving architectural aesthetics. The design posed challenges such as achieving the cascading vortex effect, concealing piping and mechanical components within tight spatial constraints, and coordinating with structural and landscaping elements. To address these, the team implemented advanced BIM workflows, developing a detailed 3D piping layout in Revit MEP with parametric data, performing hydraulic simulations to validate pump sizing and vortex formation, and generating spooling drawings for off-site prefabrication to reduce on-site complexity. This approach optimized hydraulic performance for stable vortex formation and energy efficiency, delivered time and cost savings by reducing installation time by approximately 20%, and provided lifecycle value through a BIM model that supports future maintenance and operational planning. The project demonstrates how integrated design and BIM coordination can achieve precision, efficiency, and aesthetic excellence in complex MEP installations.
