Venetian Macao, a world famous project, spent only 2 whole years, non stopping 24-hour-7-day work cycle to complete. To me, It was a real big project but not a great project. In terms of its complexity in coordination and management, communication among clients, consultants and contractors is a web-like relationship. Thus, to make the work simple, all working members could make access into an online system called Aconex for sending all correspondence, instruction, e-tender and so. It might not be the best solution to a huge team but was efficient enough for this project.
Design quality was not the main key to this project. I mainly worked in an external work and facade team and the task was how to transfer the design from Venetian Las Vega to Macau. GFRC can provide a wide variety of complicated features and it was largely used in the feature resemblance in the construction of Venetian house-like facade. Its erection need a strong metal framing backing. In order to reduce the weight of GRC units, most of the bulky items were actually void inside. To make its outlook really similar to aging facade in Venice,.different textured paint can be applied to the GFRC pieces.  The difficulties in designing rialto bridge were to fit different GFRC moulding into the R.C. structure with minimum fixing frame. In order to achieve this, we had to carefully study the inclination, levels and dimensions of bridge structure and make the R.C. structure was just fit with its shape without much tolerance so that all features could fix on the structure accurately.
