The 2.4km-long tunnels will connect future MRT stations in West Coast and Jurong Lake District.

SINGAPORE - MRT tunnels up to 40m deep will be built to connect future stations in West Coast and Jurong Lake District as part of the second phase of the Cross Island Line .

Weathered soil is rock that has broken down and is softer, so at some points where the tunnels run under it, the contractor has to dig deeper to find a competent rock layer that can provide better stability to bore through. Meanwhile, Okumura Corporation is similarly experienced in tunnelling work locally and abroad, having worked on projects such as national water agency PUB’s Deep Tunnel Sewerage System and the airport MRT line in Taipei, LTA added.
