JURONG Consultants Wins SILA Professional Design Award 2011

JURONG Consultants was awarded the prestigious SILA Professional Design Award 2011 from the Singapore Institute of Landscape Architects and the National Parks Board. The SILA Professional Design Awards recognizes and celebrates outstanding works from the landscape architecture profession.

On being conferred the Gold award for Tampines Eco Green project, JURONG Consultants is proud to contribute her environmental consulting solutions to the first ecological park in Singapore. As the Project Architect for Tampines Eco Green, the park was designed as a tranquil sanctuary for nature appreciation with 2.5ha used for park amenities and the remaining 34ha left untouched.

Ecological features of the park designed by JURONG Consultants include the usage of recycled materials in signages and benches, bird hides and a first-of-its-kind public park eco-toilet which converts human waste into compost using bacteria and wood shavings.

The Jordan National Museum

23 Nov 2011 marked the official completion of the Jordan National Museum. The project was secured by JURONG International’s D&B arm, JURONG Primewide, and despite the obstacles along the way, the iconic building will now be one of the main attractions in the country.

Accordingly, the chief architect of the museum building, Ja’far Toukan, is a pioneering Jordanian architect and the designer of many major buildings in Jordan. His design inspiration was skillfully injected into the building design using materials such as rough and smooth stones as well as glass to suggest the country’s past, present and future.

Working closely with the architect, JURONG Primewide’s team learnt to adapt to cultural differences in the working environment, focusing primarily on delivering an outstanding project.

JURONG International Forms Workplace Health and Safety Committee

In line with the recent revised Workplace Health and Safety Act in Singapore which now covers all workplaces, JURONG International has set up a WSH Committee to manage and promote positive workplace health and safety culture and practices.

The committee was set up to educate, oversee and manage all WSH issues at the workplace. Key management representatives in the committee include the Group’s President and CHRO attesting the significance of health and safety at our workplace.

We believe that staff will benefit from a safe and healthy work environment. While the company commits to maintaining a healthy and injury-free workplace for all, we will also ensure that all employees adhere to safe work practices.

The 9th JURONG International Charity Golf was successfully held on 11 Nov 2011 at Seletar Country Club. As part of the Group’s CSR efforts, this annual golf event is held to raise funds for our adopted charity, The Haven, a home to abandoned and abused children.
