Package C Renders

 A/E Consultancy services for package C of the Thomson Line were awarded to Aecom and SAA back in 2010. Effectively known as Civil Team 3 as construction works gear up, the design boundaries span from Whitley Road to Havelock. Stations included in this section are Stevens, Orchard Boulevard, Orchard, Great World and Havelock. Napier station is not included inside the design package as it is separately designed by the client.

Mount Pleasant Clears

Mount Pleasant is the northern most station along the third stage of the Thomson Line. Contract T215, which the station is under, has been awarded to RSEA-Eng Lee-Wai Fung JV. Twin bored tunnels to Caldecott will be built under this contract as well.

Situated at the old police academy, site clearing and demolishment of the vacated building is underway, with several compact to medium build excavators being delivered to the site. Mount Pleasant is the third Temporary Staging Area (TSA) site for trackworks.
