Samsung C&T Wins 500 Billion KRW Singapore Subway Construction Contract

[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Jiwon] Samsung C&T Corporation's construction division announced on the 26th that it has won the CR112 project of the Cross Island Line, a Singapore subway line, worth 500 billion KRW, commissioned by the Land Transport Authority of Singapore.

The Cross Island Line is Singapore's eighth subway line, connecting the eastern and western parts of Singapore. The total length exceeds 50 km, and Samsung C&T secured the CR112 section of this line.

Samsung C&T will carry out the construction independently, with a contract amount of approximately 500 billion KRW. Construction is scheduled to begin in March next year and be completed by December 2029.

The CR112 project includes the construction of one interchange station near the Hougang residential area in central Singapore, connection to existing stations, and a 1.79 km long tunnel. This project requires strong project management capabilities to safely construct in a narrow site and effective communication with nearby residents and stakeholders.

Samsung C&T succeeded in winning this project through its experience in underground civil engineering works in Singapore and excellent project management capabilities. In particular, the underground tunnel for this project will apply the TBM (Tunnel Boring Machine) method throughout the entire section, and Samsung C&T has extensive TBM construction experience in Singapore's underground civil engineering sites.

Samsung C&T has completed or is currently executing 15 projects commissioned by the Land Transport Authority across Singapore. A Samsung C&T official stated, "Through this contract win, we have proven our competitiveness in infrastructure projects in Singapore, and we will safely carry out the construction to repay the trust of our clients."
