Works at Pasir Ris (Central) station are ramping up with diaphragm walling machines visible on site across the contract. In particular, works to construct diaphragm walls are underway for the paid transfer link that will connect to the platform of the existing East-West Line (EWL) station. Low headroom equipment is being used to allow works to continue beneath the existing EWL track viaducts. In view of the tight deadline for the closure of a section of Pasir Ris Drive 1 which runs on top of the station roof slab, works to have diaphragm walls constructed underneath the currently closed section of Pasir Ris Central are being done. Upon their completion, Pasir Ris Central is due to be reopened to provide an alternative route and to allow the closure of Pasir Ris Drive 1.

The work site along Pasir Ris Street 51 will eventually become home to an ancillary building that will support the station's operations. This site is currently used for betonite silo storage and also used to house parts of the heavy machinery to be used on site. A completed hydrofraise machine sits there, waiting for its eventual deployment. Also noted on site were parts for a clamshell grabbing machine which is also used to construct diaphragm walls, albeit through a different method.

Low headroom machinery is being used to construct the diaphragm walls beneath the existing, live viaducts of the EWL. Special care is being taken to ensure that works do not disrupt the operations of the line above. The Land Transport Authority recently released a video on their YouTube channel explaining the works.

Works are slowly getting more intense at the station and 2023 will bring about more changes such as the planned closure of Pasir Ris Drive 1. Do stay tuned as we bring you more updates of the various rail construction sites as part of our 2022 year-end wrap up.
