| Abstract: |
The Macau Eiffel Tower is a faithful replica of the Paris Eiffel Tower, constructed next to the Venetian Hotel on the famous Cotai Strip in Taipa, Macau. The Macau Eiffel Tower forms a part of the hotel development and will complement the hotel, acting both as a landmark feature and a tourist observatory tower. This paper presents the challenges encountered and the engineering solutions provided during the structural design phase through to the construction phase and how effective project management has brought successful collaboration between the project teams to deliver the recreation of the Eiffel Tower in Macau. |
