Recently the tunnel boring machine (TBM) for contract CR105 underwent its factory acceptance test (FAT). The FAT is where the client, in this case Taisei Corporation - China State Construction Engineering Corporation Joint Venture, goes to the manufacturing factory to see that the machine meets their expectations after production has completed. A series of tests are conducted to ensure that all is in order before the machine is disassembled for delivery to the client's project site.

It's been a while since we've had an update on the Cross Island Line (CRL), so we're at Hougang this week to kick things off. Work at the northern half (the closed section of Hougang Central Minor) is more advanced than that at the southern half (near existing Exit A, next to the bus interchange) of the site.

CRL1 Video directory

 

Yesterday, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) released a video showing a flythrough of the upcoming Tampines North station along the Cross Island Line (CRL) phase 1. LTA has been noticeably more active in uploading videos of & marketing the CRL across its social media channels. In addition to the new video on Tampines North, they also uploaded another video on the Rectangular Tunnel Boring Machine (RTBM) being used at the Teck Ghee station under contract N109A to construct subways to two exits located within Bishan-Ang Mo Kio park.
