Napier Excavation (III)

The relaunch of TBM S-930 at the Napier launch shaft for the Changi bound tunnel drive towards Orchard Boulevard took place earlier this month on September 15. Excavation works are at the S6 layer at the deepest point and RC works for the station's underplatform structure should start by the end of the year.

Stevens - RTBM Assembly

Assembly works are in progress for the second launch of the compressed-air Rectangular TBM along Whitley Road. The TBM has been reused following the successful completion of the subway structure at T221 Havelock last November. The 37-segment drive is scheduled to start next month and be completed by the end of the year, following which the TBM will be dismantled and proceed for a third run at the TELC6 T311 Bedok South project.

Diaphragm wall works for the station structure have finally completed and casting of the roof slab is ongoing along the final zone. Traffic Diversion 4 will be implemented at the station next month in preparation of the commencement of excavation works at the station.

Mount Pleasant Cast (III)

The concourse slab is largely completed in the station structure and the final concrete pour at this level is ongoing. The S2 struts along the south side of the station has already been dismantled in preparations for the formwork installation for the RC roof slab casting.

Caldecott Cast (V)

Structure of the station is set to be completed by the end of the year as the station's roof slab gets cast concurrent with the strut dismantling works. Works will now focus on the backfilling and superstructure works on the new entrances, together with the A&A works at the Circle Line concourse and subsequent closure and conversion of the existing entrance A into an emergency escape staircase.

Upper Thomson Cast

Structure of the station is at varying progress with the basement roof and concourse slab cast at different zones. With the bored piling and ground improvement works completed, a total of 3 telescopic clamshell excavators are now facilitatating the excavation works for the top-down construction of the station.

Contract Award - T200

SMRT Trains has been awarded the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL) operator license after a 5-month closed tender evaluation. The TEL operator tender was called in February this year, with both existing local rail operators invited to participate. SMRT Trains offered a service fee of approximately S$1.7 billion for the 9-years service period between 2019 and 2028, with a possible extension to 2030 subjected to operational performance. 

600 staffs will be recruited over the next 2 years for the initial operations of TEL1.

Bright Hill Cast

Bored tunnelling works for the project were completed 2 weeks back with the docking of TBM 1 at the Upper Thomson Station, completing all 4 TBM drives under the scope of works. Preparations for the T211 tunnelling works extensively involved the challenging construction of 4 staggered launch shafts, 2 STPs, reconstruction of 2 POBs and ground improvement works beneath Block 258 at Ang Mo Kio.

Casting of the concourse slab is largely completed at the station box, with excavation works proceeding down to the platform level at certain zones. Casting of the Cross Island Line tunnels at the north end of the station box are progressing in tandem with the RC works at the concourse level. Backfilling works are underway over the completed north cut and cover tunnel structure.

Mayflower Cast (V)

A realignment of Avenue 4 has been implemented for the RC construction of the 7th and final entrance B. The superstructure works for Entrance E & G are underway, and casting works for the closing of the station box are in progress to complete the station structure.

Lentor Cast (IV)

Excavation works for the station appears to have completed with structural works taking place at the platform level. Casting of the entrances are progressing, with the first superstructure emerging from Entrance D. Both TBMs are advancing through rock around Block 174 beneath AMK Avenue 4 and is targeted to breakthrough by December.

Tagore Backfill (II)

The Tagore site has begun demobilization works by the T208 team as it prepares to handover the site to CTCI and other SWCs for the temporary staging area works between Tagore and Mount Pleasant. The STP and gantry cranes have been demobilized, with hardcore compacted above the station box. The FSC, cross passage and bracket installation works are ongoing for the twin tunnels towards Springleaf.

Springleaf Cast (III)

Structure of the station box is largely completed with about 2/3 of the roof slab volume cast. BSC is scheduled by the end of the year.

Facility Building Cast (IV)

The T207 project is wrapping up with the completion of bored tunnelling works and the structural completion of the RTS Facility Building. The launch shaft at SBAB has been handed back to T206 following the completed FSC and installation of SWC brackets along the twin tunnels to the Facility Building.

Sembawang Airbase Backfill

Backfilling works are underway at SBAB upon completion of the tunnel roof structure. As the installation of the SWC brackets in the tunnels complete by the next quarter, the interlinking tunnel structure within each launch shaft will be cast to provide a complete substructure tunnel linkage across TEL1 for trackworks to proceed on to the reception tracks and mainline from Mandai Depot.

Woodlands South Cast (II)

A final realignment of Woodlands Avenue 1 has been implemented for the excavation and construction of Entrance D, the last of the 4 entrances to be built. Structure of the station has reached the platform level, and the superstructure of Entrance A is emerging from ground level.

Woodlands Cast (IV)

Casting of the station's concourse slab is largely completed and works are proceeding up to the roof level. Excavation works at the crossover tunnel site have completed facilitating the breakthrough of the T206 tunnels.
