The car park is monitored by a closed circuit T.V. and is equipped with billing and space control systems. A standby diesel generator set is installed to supply emergency power.

The building foundation system is composed of 350 bored piles, reinforced concrete footings, tie beams and retaining walls. The superstructure consists of cast-in-situ columns, precast composite slabs, precast pre-stressed pre-tensioned beams (16 m span, 50 cm deep) and reinforced concrete circular ramps.
