The Structural Engineer, after discovering that the Hall of Nations may need to be removed to build access tunnels to the proposed Integrated Exhibition-cum-Convention Centre, close-inspected the foundation plans and related structural drawings, had this to say.
"HALL OF NATIONS IS FOUNDED ON PILES AND IF TUNNELS HAVE TO BE PROVIDED UNDER THE BUILDING IT IS VERY EASY TO MAKE A LAYOUT OF THE TUNNEL WHICH AVOID THESE PILES.
