Ang Mo Kio station will connect the new Cross Island Line (CRL) and the existing North\u2013South Line (NSL).<\/p>\nBachy Soletanche Singapore has been pioneering geotechnical and foundation<\/a> engineering solutions for more than 50 years. The Soletanche Bachy International and Bessac<\/a> subsidiaries are also part of the project.<\/p>\nThe contract was awarded by Singapore\u2019s Land Transport Authority and amounts to \u20ac400\u00a0million (S$644\u00a0million). It covers construction of:<\/p>\n
\n- 1 underground station and tunnels;<\/li>\n
- 2 underground pedestrian passages;<\/li>\n
- Addition and alteration (A&A) of the existing Ang Mo Kio station.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

<\/span><\/div>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 joint-venture will use innovative equipment including the Hydrofraise\u00ae equipped with \u201cgrippers\u201d, which in particular limits vibration during hard soil excavation.<\/p>\n
This project is part of the Cross Island Line Phase 1 (CRL1). The CRL is the eighth line in Singapore\u2019s mass rapid transit system. CRL1 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. CRL1 will improve access to industrial areas, leisure parks and new business hubs in the city.<\/p>\n<\/div>
