Marina Bay has changed a lot over the years, some of you might remember that before all this was built the area was the go-to place to fly kites, go bowling, or even have cheap steamboats.
多年来，滨海湾已经发生了很大的变化，其中有些人可能还记得，在建造所有这一切之前，该地区是放风筝，打保龄球甚至是廉价汽船的理想之地。
And if we go even further back, Marina Bay was just the open sea. If we look at this own map of Singapore back in the 1940s, even noticed that Marina Bay did not exist.
如果再往前看，滨海湾就只是空空的海。如果我们回顾一下1940年代的新加坡地图，甚至会注意到滨海湾不存在。
So how did this become this?
那么，这是怎么变成这样呢？
To find out how it was done, I caught up with Mr. Ho. Why him?
为了弄清楚是怎么做的，我采访了何先生。为什么是他？
He’s currently a coastal engineer at Sarbana Jurong. The veteran engineer has worked on many land reclamation projects. He says that the reclamation of marine south and marina east was special.
他目前是Savannah Jerome的海岸工程师。这位资深工程师曾参与许多土地开垦项目。他说，滨海湾南部和东部的开垦是很特别的。
We are stepping here right now is the land reclamation that we carry out 1979. We got the young materials from Tampines and acute damage.
我们现在正踏上这片土地，这是我们1979年进行的土地开垦。我们从淡滨尼得到了这些材料，并开始建设。
That time Tampines was a high ground with some hills, so we took the materials from the high ground and cut it down and formed a platform for the housing development and state and in Java to drawing away. We recycle and bring it over to the marinas south here for land reclamation.
那个时候，淡滨尼还是一片有很多山丘的高地。所以我们把材料从高处搬运下来，并为开发提供了平台。 我们实际上进行了回收，并将其带到此处的码头以进行土地开垦。
How do you at each one spot those materials over to vary up exactly a semi？
您如何将这些材料准确地放在每个位置上？
The same as what you see in the Japanese restaurant, they transport by the belt conveyor system, but was this a conversa stage is much larger and much longer.
跟您在日本料理餐厅看到的一样，它们通过皮带输送机系统进行运输，但这个体积更大而且更长。
The conveyor system is 1400 millimeters in width and a total of 26 thousand meters in length.
输送机系统的宽度为1400毫米，总长度为26000米。
Do we still flatten hills in Singapore for land reclamation?
新加坡现在还在开垦山地嘛？
In Singapore, for land reclamation we don’t have such a luxury of having so many hills that we can use raw material from. We still can’t avoid to have this in Patterson from outside. But then, this won’t keep to the minimum and the few materials we use locally is a major component.
在新加坡我们没有这么多山地可以用来开垦。实际上，我们仍然不能避免从外部获取材料。但是，这会减少到最低限度，在本地使用的少量材料是主要组成部分。
Now they use materially coming from different sources, different construction sites, and even MRT stations.
现在，他们实际上是使用来自不同的来源，不同的建筑工地的材料，甚至来自地铁站。
What’s the most satisfying part of your job?
您工作中最满意的部分是什么？
What actually is very uh so far fulfilling plus you can get to see that the land active form in front of you. For the project involved in a marina is a marina, so I used to tell my children that the land I have a hand inactive is building it.
到目前为止，实际上是非常令人满意的，再加上您可以看到面前的土地活跃形态。所以我曾经告诉我的孩子，我实际参与其中的土地正在建造中。
