Much changes have taken place at the Lentor site throughout the 3rd quarter. The junction between Yio Chu Kang and Ang Mo Kio Avenue 4 has been diverted to accommodate the road diversion at Lentor Drive, which has been re-routed to skit around the proposed station box. 3 crawler cranes and a hydraulic grab machine is currently on the site.
Mentioned in the Springleaf update, a hydromill trench cutter is one way of excavating the trench for the d-walls. An alternative method would be the use of a hydraulic grab, which physically excavates the earth via clamshells. This machine is feasible for excavating panels of shallow depths in soft ground conditions. Lentor station will be constructed top-down.
At the groundbreaking ceremony, it was revealed that CR5 will be procuring their 2 TBMs from China Railway Engineering Equipment Group for the drives from Lentor to Mayflower station via 5XO. This is the first time CREG's TBMs are being used in Singapore soil.
Preparations are underway for the initial road diversion at the crossover site. The road will be diverted east of the original alignment. 5XO will be structurally completed and backfilled by 2017. The road will be realigned then.
