👷🏽‍♀️ Depending on the terrain and location, different types of Tunnel Boring Machines (#TBM) are deployed for our underground projects.

#DidYouKnow that a new rectangular TBM✨ was used for the first time in the construction of #TEL3 Havelock station instead of the conventional circular one? #EngineeringWOW 🏗💪🏽

👀 Check out how the RTBM allowed us to expedite the construction of a pedestrian underpass connecting to Havelock station with fewer disamenities to residents and other stakeholders in the area! 🤝

🚆 #DidYouKnow that the Thomson-East Coast Line (#TEL) intersects with all existing lines in our MRT network?

🤔 However, constructing interchange stations comes with many challenges. For example, to construct the #TEL3 Stevens interchange station, we had to build new stacked tunnels between existing #DTL tunnels with ‘live’ train services running every single day. #EngineeringWOW 🏗💪🏽

👀 Check out this video made by one of our engineers to see how we managed to pull off this seemingly impossible feat!

#DidYouKnow that for the first time in rail construction we froze the ground to build the #TEL3 Marina Bay tunnels? 😎❄️

👀 Check out how this new devICE allowed us to construct in tricky soil conditions, and under existing #CCL & #NSL tunnels that had ‘live’ train services running everyday! 🏗💪🏽
