Nishimatsu Construction also secured the civil contract for the design and construction of the tunnel between the Defu and Tampines North stations.

This contract is valued at around $331.42m (S$446m) and covers the construction of a facility building with underground basements, which will meet the electrical and mechanical needs of CRL1.

A large-diameter tunnel boring machine (TBM) will be utilised by the company for the construction of a single 2.9km-long tunnel with two tracks.

With a diameter of 12.6m, this is said to be the biggest TBM to be used in Singapore.

The new tunnel will be built at a depth of 35m below ground level.

Construction works for this project are projected to commence next month.

As Singapore’s eighth MRT line, CRL1 will be 29km long and feature 12 stations from Aviation Park to Bright Hill.

In September this year, the LTA granted a civil contract for the design and construction of Loyang station and tunnels under the CRL1.
