Soil Investigations: King Albert Park

The spread of soil investigation borehole locations as of 4 June 2018.

Following Soil Investigations in Clementi from 2016, we have also noticed Soil Investigation rigs around King Albert Park station in 2017. The rigs took turns at drilling along various points along Blackmore Road through August & September 2017.



The rigs seemingly began from the back of Blackmore Road, near to the Methodist Girls School and worked their way down to the existing station on the Downtown Line (DTL) along Bukit Timah Road.
