We all know about Singapore's marina Bay Tower, but very few might know about this amazing lotus or flower-like structure right near it as the ArtScience Museum. This was built along with the Marina Bay Towers on the same site. The Architect of this plan was world-renowned Arch. Moshe Safdie. This was really a good idea of making a museum such that the roof can be used for an amphitheater.

The complex sits on reclaimed land which is essentially a sea bed which is really bad for such huge construction work. The core was then done by creating circular walls for excavation work. These walls were called diaphragm walls. The workers work in this circular area and then the work is completed and moved on. The shape of this was difficult to form for the engineers on-site and the design was reworked over and over again and used much 3D geometry software which helped them to distribute the stress and make it more safe and easy to build. This building was to be used for exhibitions and seminars and the rooftop was to be built for amphitheater was hard work. The building formwork was prefabricated and the elements were brought on-site and connected with bolts. As the concrete was poured in the outcome was a single l, uniform wall of the petal of the building.

The building gives the visitors a view of the Marina Bay and Singapore city and has a new view on each side of the building making it very attractive. The things are on the place as the investment was done by the Las Vegas Company The Marina Bay Corporation there was no delay in work and the timely work made it complete on time.

Great Man-Made River (GMR)

Libya's Great Man Made River: The Great Man-Made River in Libya is one of the most ambitious Civil Engineering Project in history of mankind.  In the year 1953, the Libya Government found out not only vast oil reserves but also vast quantity of fresh water locked under the strata, most of the water was trapped around 7000-30000 years ago which is divided in 4 different basins. The first basin is named Kufra basin which is neat Egypt Border which covers almost 35000 sq kilometer which is quite deep around 2000 m deep. The other basin is in Sirte Basin which cover 10000 sq kilometer, third in Murzuk Basin and the last in Jabal Fezzan Basin covering 4800 sq kilometers area.  The GMR project will be used to transfer water to North of the country to provide water for irrigation purpose for more than 6 million  people. This will be a changing point  for Libya and the Colonel Muammar Gaddafi called it the Eighth Wonder of World. The work started in 1984 of the project and estimated to be
