Designed by the renowned Norwegian-American architect Peter Pran, the glass-clad towers are uniquely fluid and contoured in shape and are designed to envision a towering sailboat that has arrived at the bay and permanently anchored itself. The Sail @ Marina Bay consist of 2 awe-inspiring towers soaring majestically into the sky at 70 and 63 stories embodying regal sails capturing the wind. At 245 meters above sea level at the highest point, The Sail @ Marina Bay will be Singapore’s tallest residential development and a global waterfront landmark on Singapore’s skyline.
In The Sail, the vacuum waste collection system is designed to serve 1111 units of apartments and about 4000 residents. The system comes with a source-separation recycling facility. It is meant for 2-fraction recycling, the recyclable fraction and the general waste fraction. The network of refuse pipes (Total: 180m) connects the 2 pairs of refuse chutes from the 2 residential tower blocks to the collection station. The Sail @ Marina Bay is one of the first few developments in Singapore that had recycling facilities incorporated with the vacuum waste collection system.
