Megastructures - World’s Longest Subsea Pipeline: • Video
Globally Singapore is revered for its business acumen and might, but in sporting terms, it is seen as a minnow.
Now a bold project aims to change the nation’s sporting culture forever. The grand vision is to build the world’s ultimate multi-function sports complex, which will become a magnet for the community and cement Singapore as a premier international sporting destination.
We follow over three years the team building the Singapore Sports Hub. Costing more than a billion US dollars, the ambitious project includes an ingenious indoor aquatics centre that can hold up 6,000 people, a multi-purpose arena, water sports centre, and many more retail and lifestyle facilities. The jewel-in-the-crown will be a cutting edge 55,000-seat national stadium with a unique, opening domed roof.
But before Singaporeans can enjoy all these facilities and bask in international glory, we say goodbye to the much-loved old National Stadium, which must be demolished to make way for the new facilities. Only then can the designers, engineers, and a massive international workforce begin tackling the project’s enormous challenges.
The multi-purpose facilities have to be squeezed into a compact site in densely developed Singapore, while spectators need to be kept comfortable regardless of baking tropical heat, high humidity, or torrential storms. What’s more, they must make the world’s largest programmable LED projection screen, and build the largest free-spanning dome roof ever seen.
The construction team will experience all the pressure of an elite sporting event as they face the tightest of deadlines, unexpected obstacles, and high-risk construction procedures. It’s all in the story of Singapore’s Field of Dreams

1. We’re in Singapore 🇸🇬 and taking you on the grand tour and evolution of their pride and joy: the Singapore National Stadium. It’s a multifunctional sports-hub and can adapt to more than 30 types of sports
2. It was completed in late 2013 and officially opened on 30 June 2014, on the site of the former National Stadium, which was closed in 2007 and demolished in 2010.
3. Construction of the new stadium took 6 years.
4. The stadium features the world's largest retractable domed roof and the configurable seating on the lowest spectator tier to make it the only stadium in the world that is custom-designed to host different sporting events at any given time.
5. Depending on its configurations, the stadium has a maximum seating capacity of 55,000 for football and rugby, 52,000 for cricket and 50,000 for athletics events/concerts and is the largest stadium in the country in terms of seating capacity.
6. The roof is made out of insulated metal to reflect sunlight.
7. It takes approximately 48 hours to reconfigure seating arrangements to suit an upcoming event
8. An energy-efficient cooling system is also designed to deliver cooled air to every seat in the stadium while using less than 15 percent of energy as compared to a conventional air-conditioned stadium, providing every spectator a cool and comfortable time to enjoy an event. (I hope Qatar is using this method for their stadiums for the 2022 World Cup Soccer ⚽️)
9. The National Stadium currently holds the record of the largest dome structure in the world. The retractable roof itself takes approximately 25 minutes to open or close.
10. The wood from the old stadium - the old benches - were reused, restyled by local artists and architects and placed around the city. I love it when old things are repurposed, reused. Watch out for those public benches when you visit or if you live in Singapore.
Enjoy!

This is an uplifting story. I especially enjoyed the idea that benches are placed all over town made of recycled materials from the old sports center. And a proud father whose son created great sound. God bless you all.
My most memorable moment in this National Stadium was when it was being constructed. I was hauling joint compound and sacks of cement in my 1.5 ton truck, to the deep end of the work site. The access road was just a mud track that all vehicles and heavy equipment used. It had stopped raining a couple of hours earlier and I was driving behind a huge tracked excavator, which was creating massive muddy ruts on the side of its left track (the right track was driving on the rocks, the access road was narrow). The truck got stuck in one of these ruts and the wheels just sunk.
They couldn't tow me out cos my load was causing my truck's fuel tank (which was mounted on the right side along the chassis rail) to dig in even further. In the end they had to call on one of the tower cranes to lift the truck out. It was a heck of a day, I was covered in mud and it took almost 3 hours to wash off all the mud from under the chassis of my truck.
Very beautiful documentary. Structural Engineer designs the entire structure. All the foundations, columns & all the trusses. Designing truss for such huge spans & moving loads is a very tough task. I felt slightly bad that you didn't even mention regarding his tasks & challenges.
Bravo to Singaporeans..a proud one!
Very educative and informative documentary. Keep it up.
Went to Singapore once. Beautiful city.
43:10 i see indonesian aktor, RIDWAN GANY
This is an engineering marvel. Looking forward to this stadium being the venue of the future Olympic Games, hosted by Singapore!
As some one living there there're a few additional interesting facts about the stadium:
1. It's one of the 1st to be built under a public-private partnership (PPP) in Singapore, & the old Nat'l Stadium was closed in 2007 as it was originally planned to commence rebuilding then & complete it in 2010. However the global financial crisis soon afterwards prevented the private contractor from being able to borrow money for the construction, delaying the comstruction commencement until 2010. For this reason Singapore also postponed it's hosting of the South East Asian (SEA) Games from 2013 to 2015.
2. It was planned for the stadium to host the annual National Day Parade (marking the country's anniversary), except every 5 years when it's traditionally hosted at the _Padang_ open field. However since the stadium's opening in 2014 it has hosted the parade only once (2016) as numerous limitations were found in it's design. The pitch wasn't strong enough to have the vehicle display segment of the parade (of military tanks, with the Leopard 2SG tanks topping at around 60t each), while the stadium's roof blocked spectator's view of the parade-ending fireworks & the aerial flypast segment, while also making it too difficult for army parachuters to land safely on the pitch (forcing this parade-opening performance, where the parachuters jump out of helicopters, to be cancelled)
i am from Qatar and proud to say Qatar has more than 7 stadiums full of very modern techniques.. i think everyone noticed that during world cup 2022
I miss Singapore. Lived here for 2 months in 2019
I was at the National Stadium, watched Singapore vs Liverpool, Singapore vs Australia, Singapore vs Indonesia. Good times..!!
Really enjoyed that one, thank You.
Thank you for stopping by to let us know
Wow nice and cool construction.
Watching from Kenya
😂😂😂😂, wewe tena hapa!😂😂😂😂😂
@@eastafricanforever3457 😂😂😂😂😂huyo sio mimi yawa
Nakuona tu
The whole stadium is awesome, great design and great planning, access from public transport was seamless and wayfinding was a breeze. It was a long time in the making, but it was worth the wait.
BUT good grief the fiasco with the pitch in the beginning was just embarrassing. I remember going to watch Juventus play at the stadium when it just opened and they looked like they were playing on the beach, you could tell they didn't want to run too hard for fear of injury. If I recall correctly they even invested a further $1m on special lighting and it still didn't work, and they had to completely ditch the system.
They've settled on the Eclipse Stabilised Turf since 2016 and it looks perfect, and last I recall when I last watched a match there in 2019, I believe it was Singapore vs Yemen for the WC qualifiers, it still look superb.
Interesting.. So the grass filmed in the documentary is not as great as it claimed?
@@chrohcl It is actually, the initial turf supplier, Desso GrassMaster, has supplied tons of turf for stadiums elsewhere and is highly acclaimed. But the climate in Singapore meant that their product weren't the right fit.
@@mad_harmonies I see.. thanks for the info sharing.
Yes and Must also showcase another Singapore Famous Changi International Airport Latest Attraction, The Jewel Building.

It's nice to see how much Singapore and indonesia have set the bar now... They're perfectly located and have the resources to do great things...Hopefully their economy stays strong...We're all intrinsically interwoven now...
Indeed we are.
Beautiful
The 'Spidermen Team' are AMAZING.
My vertigo, if I somehow got up there, would make me curl up in the fetal position and bawl my brains out.
and wait for them to come rescue us 🤣
I am waiting
Another great documentary reporting the efforts put in place to establish a sporting and recreational venue for thousands in a very buss city. Every one involved achieved a marvelous result. Sad to see the old tower going, it would have been a good Idea to left it intact as a memorabilia or historical record.
Agree. City planners are often way too quick to destroy the old. They’re documents of the past! That’s important to keep.
@@FreeDocumentary What surprised me more than the historic importance of that tower is it took those professionals a whole day to cut the first segment. This truly indicates the construction techniques they use in those days is solid workmanship compared to todays construction with aluminum and glass. That building might have served as a teaching and research tool for todays engineers and designers. I am very glad you bring this documentary forward. Talking of constructions, I think it would be a good idea if you start another series which will deal with ancient constructions. In my country alone there are two world heritage sites (The rock hewn church's of Lalibela and another rock hewn oblixs of Axum) google them on TH-cam. Good job boys!
awesome
yeah
that was so extremely awesome
Oh good. Glad you liked it.
@@FreeDocumentary indeed
I spent much of 1984 in Singapore, in the middle of Lee Kwan Yew's Utopian makeover of the island. Initially I was suspicious of the goal of a benevolent dictatorship which worked for the people but, for the most part, he seems to have succeeded. His insistence on English as the first language has really paid off, as is obvious listening to these folks talk. In 1984, it was said that the national bird of Singapore was the crane, because the skyline was dotted with them. Construction labor was provided almost exclusively by Singapore's Malay citizens, who were, and are still at the lower end of the socioeconomic spectrum. But that bottom is now a comfortable perch. In 1984 I remember armies of barefoot laborers clambering over the steel skeletons of high rises, with no safety equipment. Now, if what I see here is representative of the national standard, they have adopted a western level of concern for worker safety. Singapore isn't perfect, but they have proven that, as long as everyone has a decent level of security and prosperity, a benevolent(-ish) dictatorship, with a carefully monitored and regulated Capitalist economy can foster a Utopian-ish quasi-social quasi-democracy. It might be a prototype for 21st Century deteriorating democracies dying from an excess of Libertarianism, tottering on the precipice of Fascism. America, I'm lookin' at you.
This is a very interesting story. I think when our cities are changing to tackle the future, it would be a good idea to left some remains of the past like that gorgeous light tower intact for historic records so that stories like you raised will not disappear from the mind of future generations. Great testimony!
Wow there is Fandi Ahmad. I like him
A bit extraneous, but that soccer player looks really good for his age!
Req "JAKARTA INTERNATIONAL STADIUM"
Masih tahap pembangunan bro
Iya biar dibuatin kek gitu om
Nice
How i wish my government, kenya, could emulate this. And remember, in 1963, kenya as a country was far ahead of singapore in terms of infrastructure. Unfortunately, due to corruption and personal interest, we laging behind to singapore. Kenya is just a mess, I dont know who will save us.
Singapore National Stadium
In my opinion, that's 10x bigger than the Superdome, AT&T Stadium, even a lot bigger than Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta
YES
Wah PSHT ada cabang singapore nya dong
wow
Hope the national football team can keep up with the extreme construction......
XD
need many times for closing thr roof?
The demolition is a feat in itself
This place is super cool 😎
It sure looks like it. I’ve never been there but the concept and construction is pretty friggin rad
Everything in singapore is so expensive .... Not a good county for holiday ....
@@jimmylin2023 not really. It depends on where you go.
Sampurno.
👍
Seems like once they finish one big building project, they start a new one. What’s next?!?!
"many sports, including water sports" me: "kinky"
Next Jakarta International Stadium is bigger than this stadium with the roof opening and closing too.
Kwkwkwk uangnya dari mana
@@preddysaragih3034 hahaha sudah di bangun ya.. Target 2021
Is that how you clasify a big stadium? How about its facilities ?
Jangan terlalu kumuh di jakarta :[
Nggak penting..
Whats the cost of building a stadium like this ??
Anyone know the sound simulation software they used?
Building simulation
Singapore is in the stratosphere for living expenses for citizens. Don’t be too happy or envious, very very costly place to live.
So, stay where you are.
That's how I make use of a studium

No matter how good the new stadium is, it will never replace the old stadium, especially when NDP is held.
Was it all an illusion? A pipe dream? I'm convinced the old stadium has been replaced by a darn good one.
Singapore only move forward not backwards no matter how good the old memories was. That is how Singapore achieve.

I wonder if Singapore would one day host the Olympics inside their new mega stadium .
Sorry don't think we can,we are too small for it.
@@leongyet9896 Hey. Nothing is impossible if you people of Singapore just try. Trust me on this. Who knows, maybe Singapore can do things a lot bigger instead of remaining a small city-state nation all the time.
@@jermainesimmons2944
There's not enough venue to hold.
If possible,we would want to.
We have the money and resources, but just not the space.
@@jermainesimmons2944Olympic not able to host by one station only, looks at all the previous Olympic it require many different stations for each type of sport. We have to accept the fact we don’t have the land even we have the money and technology.
Singapore is good country and nobody corrupt politician unlike the philippines that alll politician are corrupt. That is why our country philippines still poor country.. so sad..
Yes I'm proud of this. Becuse i working there 2014😍

Singapore used to be a natural orchard with amazing fruit trees, edible plants and a considerable amount of fauna ... the English decided to convert that territory in a trading port for their massive consuming needs, then converted into a private banking laundering money machine ... at all times with British benefiting from anything happen in the place ... it is just another Dubai now
Meanwhile in the Philippines, senator Hontiveerus cant stop politicizing our WORLD CLASS national stadium in Clark! Wow
3:24 dude was definitely thinking about throwing that torch on the ground as the flame crept down the handle
I was making this stuff as 6 yo on a sandy beach back in the eally 70.s as a kid !!! PFFFF hold my beer !!
Why doesn't Singapore bid to host the Commonwealth Games? They've pretty much got every venue in one place.
Unfortunately, their medal count at the end of the games would be about one or two, and that'll be so pathetic. It's hard for smaller built Asians to compete against much larger and stronger humankind in physical sports.
Singapore national stadium/ Sports Hub ,the iconic "LOTUS"
hi there i wanna go in your expedition. What are eligible requirements. I have skill of video editing, photography,audio editing.
Watch the credits at the end and reach out to those companies. Most documentaries you see on this youtube channel were made several years ago by various cable channels.
I am studying btech in civil engineering
I am getting afraid of the risk of life of engineer
post covid19, mega stadiums will just be an empty space. Architects and sports authorities must re-think the design concept and purpose.
lol, it was converted into a quarantine zone when the outbreak was at its peak.
Absolutely, it is put to good use due to the pandemic, fortunate that we have such a place to convert!

Cmon 90% of the fans were Juventus. Singapore wont have a full seated fans. When is the only time that happened? When Singapore takes on Malaysia
Thought this project became overpriced, wrong selection of artificial turf material, and now under utilised? no AH?
Take it from a Singaporean... This Sports Hub stadium is a white elephant. What a tremendous waste of taxpayers’ money
I support your words
Covid period,how to hold big events?
First of all are you really a Singaporean? Second do you mind share how much tax had you being paid before keep saying the government is spending “your “ tax money?
Now singapore means ..China because most of company owners are chinese.
singapore is a perfect example that copying is always better than inventing something.
*Copy and improve.
Yeah & what's wrong with that.
a true pink Singaporean here, it was meant to replace our old national stadium. But it can't even host our early national day parade there..

They are working and earning money so how can it be poor?
In that case, stop them from coming to Singapore to work if india has enough jobs for them.
