Rueil Malmaison, 28 July 2021
VINCI is awarded the
design-build contractfor the extension of
Ang Mo Kio metro station in
Singapore
- A new metro station on the Cross
Island Line (Line 8) and the associated tunnels
- A €400 million (S$644 million)
contract
- A technological challenge in a very
tight urban environment
Bachy Soletanche Singapore, subsidiary of VINCI
Construction, in a joint-venture with Gammon Construction and
Engineering, has been awarded the design-build contract for the
extension of Ang Mo Kio metro station and the associated
tunnels.
This station will connect the new Cross Island
Line (CRL) and the existing North–South Line (NSL).
This project is part of the Cross Island Line
Phase 1 (CRL1). The CRL is the eighth line in Singapore’s mass
rapid transit system (MRT). This Phase will be 29 km long and have
12 stations, and in due course simplify travel as well as
connections between the various rail lines reaching some 100,000
households. This new line will improve access to industrial areas,
leisure parks and new business hubs in the city.
The contract was awarded by Singapore’s Land
Transport Authority and covers construction of:
- 1 underground
station and tunnels;
- 2 underground
pedestrian passages;
- Addition and
alteration (A&A) of the existing Ang Mo Kio station.
Works are expected to begin in the fourth
quarter of 2021 and the station is due to open in 2030.
Bachy Soletanche Singapore, which has been
pioneering geotechnical and foundation engineering solutions for
more than 50 years, will also team up with Soletanche Bachy
International and Bessac, a subsidiary of Soletanche Bachy,
specialises in tunnels and microtunnels.
Building this new station in a tight urban
environment, with challenging ground conditions, will require
unique technical expertise. To reduce vibration and control the
excavation, the consortium will use innovative equipment including
the Hydrofraise® equipped with “grippers”, which in particular
limits vibration during hard soil excavation.
Bachy Soletanche Singapore is working on other
public transport underground infrastructures projects in this
country, including construction of the tunnel between Suffolk Walk
in Newton and Novena Rise, and three metro stations on the
Thomson–East Coast line.
