Piling at Woodlands (IV)

Piling works at the Woodlands station have been going on for almost a year now. Sewer diversion works around Avenue 2/5 by the separate contractor are still on going, and we should see preparations for the diversion of the junction by the next quarter for the crossover tunnel construction. The temporary bus interchange is on track to open by year end, with the terminal structure almost completed.

Piling at Woodlands North (II)

Commencing the Q2 updates at the Woodlands North site, numerous piling rigs are executing the bored pile works for the station's earth retaining stabilizing structure. Towards the south, excavation of the launch shaft has reached down to the S3 layer.

The first Kawasaki TBM for the T202 project has been delivered to the site. Supporting the slurry TBM for the upcoming tunnelling work is the assembled slurry treatment plant provided by Pigott Shaft Drilling. Deep Cement Mixing and grouting is being carried out along the proposed tunnel alignment at Woodlands St 91.
