The Marriott Hotel And Office Complex, Putrajaya

The five star hotel and office complex is located on a 40-acre site nestled between the Palm Garden Golf Resorts and the tropical rain forest of Bukit Bisa.

The 478-room hotel rising to 13-storey high will boast of luxurious facilities and the latest state-ofthe-art features in the hospitality industry to meet the growing number of tourists and foreign dignitaries visiting the new administrative capital of Putra Jaya.

The adjacent twin tower office complex, also 13-storey high, is sharing the same podium as the hotel and is supported by modern building technology incorporating the ” intelligent building ” concept. It has its own multi-level car park complex separated from the hotel car park.

LTE has been appointed as the civil and structural consultants for the above project. The project which has been completed was designed using a temporary retaining wall system ( i.e. soldier piles ) and also contiguous piles for the construction of the multi-level basement. Bored piles were utilized for the foundation due to the shallowness of the hard shale stratum. This also met the noise level constraint for the area. The building structural system was based on conventional in-situ beam-slabcolumn system whilst the basement was designed using flat slab system.

The hotel has been in operation since April 2002.
