Woodlands South D-walls (II)

D-walling works continue at the Woodlands South site. 2 piling machines and an additional crawler crane has been added to aid in the construction works from the previous update. We expect expect another quarters of D-walling works to proceed before Traffic Diversion 3 (TD3) gets implemented which involves a final realignment of Avenue 1 that will last through the remaining duration of the project.

Piling at Woodlands (III)

Piling works continue around the Woodlands site. Utility diversions are still on going around the junction of Ave 2/5, at which the first traffic diversion is expected to be implemented after the next quarter for the construction of the crossover tunnel box. Progress on the temporary Woodlands Regional Bus Interchange under T2211 is included in this update.

Piling at Woodlands North

We begin another quarter's update on the progress of the Thomson Line construction at Woodlands North. A long auger drilling machine has arrived onto the site and positioned near the launch shaft. Beside it, several pile casings and rebar for the bored pile lay on the site floor. A desander plant seems to be in the process of being set up as well. At the launch shaft itself, piling has commenced with a concrete bored pile guide constructed to aid the drilling process. Earthworks are still being carried out at the crossover tunnel and station box.
