Hooray, we’ve just completed the first phase of the Singapore Rail Test Centre (#SRTC). Construction of the high speed test track in this facility is now completed and the track is ready for operation! 🙌🥳
Slated for completion in 2025, the SRTC is the first train testing facility in Southeast Asia and will be a comprehensive testing platform for multiple railway systems before they are deployed on the main line. 🚆⚙️ This will facilitate round-the-clock testing and free up limited engineering hours on operational lines for maintenance and renewal works – which is aimed at strengthening the reliability of our rail network! 🔧✨
#DidYouKnow We’ve begun testing and commissioning works for the first 2 Circle Line 6 (#CCL6) trains 🧡 at the facility. The SRTC is also designed and operated with sustainability in mind e.g. energy-saving equipment, solar panels, and a hybrid cooling system. #MyGoGreenFlags 💚

#DidYouKnow With the construction of the #TEL extension, a 1km stretch of the rail viaduct at Tanah Merah MRT station will be decommissioned in 2026. 🚆
As part of our sustainability efforts 🌱🌎, we’re looking to repurpose the viaduct area and a section of the #Changi Depot Building to:
✅ Create a vibrant public space for various community and/or recreational uses 😍; and
✅ Reduce demolition waste 🏗 at the same time!
Share your ideas on how the #TanahMerah MRT viaduct can be transformed into new community spaces at ➡️ go.gov.sg/viaduct.
Submissions close on 31 Dec 2023.

#DidYouKnow that we’ve been adopting more sustainable methods 💚 in the construction 🏗️ of our transport infrastructure?
The site for Changi East Depot which will house our Cross Island Line trains 🚄 used to be a disposal area for sludge, a by-product of wastewater treatment.
With advancements in technology🔬, we can treat the sludge to turn it into artificial soil which will be used as backfill material in the construction of the depot. This helps to reduce the overall volume of waste and materials required, promoting a circular economy approach ♻️ where waste materials are utilised as resources rather than discarded. 🌱 #MyGoGreenFlags
