รpisode 874
mercredi 30 septembre 2026 โข Durรฉe 01:15:25
What does it take to build Singaporeโs rail network deep underground? Alvin Sim, LTAโs Deputy Director of Tunnelling, started his career as a fresh graduate with no tunnelling experience. Today, his work has taken him through granite, marine clay and some of Singaporeโs most complex underground conditions, across projects including the Downtown Line and Thomson-East Coast Line.
He takes us behind the scenes of tunnelling and shares what it takes to construct the Cross Island Line up to 80-90 metres beneath the Central Catchment Nature Reserve.
