CR202 - Cross Island Line Biodiversity Training Centre

The Land Transport Authority (LTA) launched visits to the Cross Island Line (CRL)'s contract CR202 Biodiversity Training Centre (BTC) on 16th July 2024. The team subsequently made a visit to the BTC where one could learn a bit more about the contract and the special training that workers undergo before being deployed to the project. The contract for the construction of the large diameter single bore tunnel involves tunneling through the Central Catchment Nature Reserve (CCNR), an environmentally sensitive section of the country where wildlife thrives. In view of this, additional training is required to allow workers at the site to pick up knowledge on practices to minimise impact on the environment, animals and plants near the work site.

CR116 - Ang Mo Kio update Q2 2024

20 June 2024 - A view of heavy machinery on the south side of the station in end-Q2.

The site of contract CR116 has been a busy one over the past quarter, with preparation works underway to begin construction at Exit 7 outside AMK Hub. This site has been one of the few that has yet to begin construction in any form while works progressed at the rest of the station site. One of the major observations over the course of the quarter was the slow ramping down of diaphragm walling works on the southern edge of the station as the works approached completion. Join us as we look back on the progress made over the past quarter.

July was a momentous month for the Cross Island Line (CRL). All civil contracts for the construction of stations across phases 1, 2 and the Punggol extension were awarded. Along phase 1, several contracts were in the midst of Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) assembly and subsequent launch as well. In this update, we take a brief look at the progress made across the line's first few phases.
