The Putrajaya Convention Centre

" AN ICON FOR THE COUNTRY"

IJM HAS DONE IT AGAIN!
Sitting majestically on the highest point "Puncak Selatan" of Putrajaya, the recently completed Putrajaya Convention Centre is described not just as another landmark but an " icon for the country". Located in Precinct 5 of the Federal Administration Capital of Putrajaya, it is an impressive ultr-modern International Standard    Main Entrance to the Putrajaya Convention Centre        convention centre with state-of-the art                                                                                   convention facilities.

The successful handing-over of the completed project in June 2003 by Putrajaya Holdings Sdn. Bhd. to the Government of Malaysia was indeed a very proud moment for IJM.

IJM was awarded this design and construct "fast track" project in June 2001. With its short construction time, the demands of its complex design and the sophisticated equipment to be installed, all posed great challenges to the IJMteam. The construction of the Banquet Hall ( with a clear span of 70 metres, making it one of the largest column-free banquet halls in Malaysia using only composite steel-concrete
structural frame ) and the Plenary Hall                               The column free Plenary Hall with a seating
( with a clear span of 80 metres, which                                                 capacity of 3000
is also column free ) were among them. Eventually 7,500 tons of structural steel was created in the project.

The successful completion of the entire building was due largely to the harmonization of structural design and the detailed & meticulous planning of the sequence of construction activities including its breathaking interior design and the latest built-in state-of the-art convention facilites.

The completion of the project ahead of schedule was made possible by pooling IJM's vast resources & expertise and the strong sense of cooperation and commitment of the project team, consultants abd sub-contractors to deliver this "icon for the country" on time. Besides the timely delivery of the project, the high standard of quality achieved in the construction of Putrajaya Convention Centre
bears full testimony to IJM's motto of                                                          Head of States Hall
"Excellence Through Quality" at work.

The Putrajaya Convention Centre, successfully completed ahead of time, is testimony to IJM's ability to undertake mega projects on its own. It will become a permanent feature in IJM's impressive portfolio of the many IJM-built landmarks that dot the country; Mid Valley City, Istana Budaya and the Renaissance Hotel in Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya Hospital, major sections of the North-South
The restaurant at the concourse perimeter                        Expressway, the KLIA Runway 2, the recent                                                                                   completed Jelutong Expressway in Penang and many others.

All these, a clear demonstration of the professionalism, commitment and the "can do" spirit of the people of IJM.
