Set in 45 hectares of picturesque oceanfront, the Okada Manila is one of the most iconic resorts of Tiger Resort Leisure & Entertainment, Inc. (TRLEI). The hotel, consisting of 2 wings, each having 15 floors, is connected by two sky bridges and features 993 hotel rooms, more than 3,000 electronic gambling machines and 500 table games. In addition, the Okada Manila features a dancing fountain comparable to the Bellagio Fountains in Las Vegas, Asia’s first nightclub and indoor beach club enclosed in a dome, a high-end retail area, a world-class 3,000-square-meter spa facility and several food and beverage outlets. A total of 8,000 staff has been hired to operate the resort.
A collaboration with GF
The construction of the Okada resort, a $ 2.4 billion project, required a total of 22,000 workers and took no less than 6 years. The main contractor was TransAsia Construction Development Corporation, where part of the plumbing work of the project was outsourced to Alpha Plumbing Works Inc. Not only did our colleagues of GF Philippines maintain good relations with Alpha Plumbing, they also teamed up with engineering company Meinhardt Philippines, responsible for the design of the various piping networks of the project. Of course a big and prestigious project like this needs outstanding quality in constructing and installation. This was where the MULTI/JOINT® transition fittings of Georg Fischer Waga N.V. came in!
