The contract for the tunnels is the last of nine civil contracts for the line's second phase.
SINGAPORE – Rail tunnels, each running a length of 1.4km, will be constructed to link the future Maju and Clementi stations in the second phase of the Cross Island Line .The Land Transport Authority on Aug 15 said it has awarded a contract worth about $199 million for the design and construction of these tunnels, as well as a separate contract of about $400 million for the provision of the CRL’s power supply system.
Sinohydro is involved in the construction of the Pasir Ris East and Clementi CRL stations. The firm also built the Thomson-East Coast Line’s Napier station. Real-time monitoring and safety measures will be in place during the tunnelling work. Steps will also be taken to ensure that the ground is stable, construction is safe, and the impact on people and infrastructure nearby is minimised, said LTA.The second contract for the CRL’s power supply system was awarded to a consortium comprising transport solution provider Siemens Mobility and Concord Corporation, which specialises in electrical solutions.
Siemens Mobility was also awarded a contract for the CRL’s overhead conductor rail system, which supplies electricity to trains.
