Piling at Upper Thomson

The canal diversion works are progressing and bored pile works for the station foundation continues.

Bright Hill Diverts

Secant bored pile works and excavation continues at the Bright Hill station. The project's first TBM was lowered down the south launch shaft for the woodlands bound tunnel towards Upper Thomson earlier this month. Both STPs are in the midst of construction at the 2 launch shafts.

Traffic realignment of Sin Ming Avenue/Walk implemented end-April 2016

Mayflower Excavation (III)

Bulk excavation together with the construction of the roof slab continues at Mayflower.

Tagore

Twin bored tunnels to Lentor station have been completed by TBM A and TBM C1. TBM B is now 230 rings into the Woodlands Bound excavation to Springleaf, a third of the tunnel lined. TBM C2 is in the midst of assembly and refitting works for the Changi bound drive.

Springleaf Excavation (II)

Deep excavation works progresses at the Springleaf Station with the S2 strut layer installed.

Mandai Depot - TBM 3 Breakthroughs

The first Earth Pressure Balance TBM for the line broke through the retrieval point north of Mandai Depot last Saturday, completing the reception tunnel 3 drive from the launch shaft 1 (LS1). This is the fifth bored tunnel to be lined for the line, and is also the shallowest breakthrough point in the MRT construction history due to the unique utilization of TBMs for the construction of the reception tunnels leading to an at-grade depot.

Retrieval of the machine is underway for the subsequent tunnel drives from LS2 to Woodlands South station. Herrenknecht slurry machine S-893, together with TBM 5 for the Changi Bound drive from LS2 to Woodlands station and SBAB to Woodlands South station have completed similarly.
