Soil Investigation: Tampines North

Spread of soil investigation boreholes around Tampines North as of 07 August 2018.

As far back as 2016, boreholes have been spotted in the vicinity of Tampines North area. Additional boreholes have also been noted around Tampines Industrial Avenue 2 with some as recently as May 2018. It is expected that the line will cut through the existing Paya Lebar Air Base to connect to the Defu area which was covered in our previous post.

Soil Investigation: Defu

Soil investigation spread at the area around Defu as of 05 August 2018.

A stretch of yet to be developed land along Tampines Road is zoned to be an industrial area in the future. This extends the Defu industrial area further north, across Sungei Serangoon from Hougang New Town. A string of soil investigations have been noted from as far back as 2017 along the stretch of road leading from Hougang towards the Paya Lebar Air Base. This is anticipated as the Cross Island Line runs eastwards towards Tampines North and eventually Changi Airport.
