Cleaning The World’s Largest Free-spanning Dome - Singapore's National Stadium

- Singapore’s National Stadium is an architectural marvel. It’s the world’s largest free-span dome, held up without any interior pillars. It’s so huge, in fact, that the Sydney Opera House can fit comfortably inside.
Since its opening in 2014, the 55,000-seat stadium - centrepiece of the Singapore Sports Hub - has hosted many major sporting events and performances. For the first time, it’s undergoing a thorough deep-cleaning.
To reach the beams and trusses that go up to 80 metres into the air, industrial climbers are called in. These rope access specialists are trained to do cleaning and maintenance work while being suspended in the air - up to 8 to 10 hours a day.
It takes the team almost a year to clean the interior of the dome, and another few months to clean the external dome structure which has a surface area of about 70,000 square metres - roughly the size of 10 football pitches.
CNA Insider takes a peek at how a small group of rope access experts pulls off the massive task of cleaning the world’s largest free-spanning dome.

Parents that says " if you do not study hard you end up like them ". Are basically passing wrong values to the young ones. Every job has it purposes. More worrying is that the children take on the wrong values from their parents and take short cuts in life ending up like a scammers
I absolutely agree with you!!!👍👏🏻🥰
impressive!
yeah, it is an invisible job that many will take the cleanliness of the stadium for granted but wow, it is not an easy job
respect! stay safe!
Awrsome Job...Only the BEST of the BEST...can Do this..Job...High Rope is only meant for the DARE TO TRY...Attitude...(Respect to ALL the Workers...)...
They do an important and amazing job and we should salute them for keeping one of the most beautiful stadiums on Earth in pristine condition. It's Singapore after all!
Very nice video, thank you for sharing! Was interesting to see how they do this. I had no clue people actually even climb on top of it like this to clean it with all the little details.
And I agree, I feel often times manual labor is not respected enough. People who keep everything running stop showing up for work and we got a big problem. Small geat in a system still serves an important function at the end of the day, even if people not aware of it.
Also...
Those bots really turning into an infestation on yt :/
It's a good honest tough work!
It’s too bad the architects who’d designed these super structures do not seem to consider the maintenance of them. Dangerous job for sure!
HDB and Pte Developers also didn't design to ease homeowners household chores burdens when they build our house internally. It should be design and made with self cleaning floors, wall and ceilings when they built them :(
@@Zenus21 I didn’t know you need harnesses, ropes, safety helmets, walkie talkies, carabiner clips, safety locks, and have to scale up and down support structures at home, but okay
Respect to all these specialists.
Thanks so much for sharing this video. It’s such impressive & dangerous job!!!👍👏🏻🥰🥰💪
I was hoping for just a tour but this is great too!🤩
Respect ✊ . One thing they are better than me is they over come the massive height & they are actually doing it daily as a living . Take care and e safe guys !
Wow tough job. Respect bro. Take care and stay safe always.
Well done guys ❤
RESPECT 🫡
It's hard work.
Singapore takes every detail seriously.. unlike Malaysia everything is not maintained except king's place 🤔
This is why Singapore is of the 1st world status 😂 ..boils down to effective and capable governance of a good government
how much are they paid?
Surprising their still using the old backup device.
It is so common in construction ~ also called “Spider-Man”. It is a labour intensive process.
That is the problem of Design ~ beautifully but not practical. Practical design are functional but not necessarily aesthetically beautiful = Engineers vs Architect. Always the architect wins because developers want unique characteristics and then upon completion; complain of the cost of maintenance. An idiotic reality. Stupidity n Vanity.
Such a pity the capacity of the stadium is sacrificed for the huge domed roof. It's a beautiful stadium, don't get me wrong, but a 55,000 seater stadium is small for today's standard. Look at the capacities of stadiums in KL and other countries stadiums such as the US or the UK. Our National Stadium is beautiful and modern, but it's small.
I actually have no issue with our smaller capacity. I think the planners foresee that Singapore itself has low spectator rate across any sporting events nowadays. To me, a fully filled 50k stadium is much better than a half-filled 100k stadium. Although sadly this hasn't been achieved in any local sporting event iirc.
no wonder losing money by the bad management
State Government of Selangor (Pakatan Harapan / DAP), watch this and learn what should’ve done to the iconic Stadium of Shah Alam for the past 15 years. Utter failure!
You aren't kidding! Very sad!
japan will retake the kurils sakhalin and vladivostok south korea will take north korea.
Billion dollar stupid design. No maintenance platform under the frames. Besides, the wiping process is tedious. I would rather use high pressure water blaster.
Do let us know when you have design a clever building that can self clean ya!
China *falsely* claims Taiwan 🇹🇼 as its "province".
- What stops China from claiming Singapore as its "intrinsic" territory?
It is usual to spread jam and butter on a slice of bread. But strange to spread lies to butter up hate all over the place.
What you will never find in any CNA Insider video: criticism of the People's Power Party and the Singaporean government. It's little more than a government mouthpiece to project to the outside world and to reinforce in the minds of its citizens how awesome, futuristic and brilliant its government is. They never talk about anything that makes it look bad, or if they do it tamely, it's always immediately followed by a government official talking about how they're already working to fix it.
The truth about Singapore is found elsewhere than on this channel, which is entertaining and has very well made documentaries, but which is little more than an endless infomercial.
your name is designed for yourself on purpose? i love this type of ironic humour by the way, child
ma'am this is a video about people cleaning a stadium.
