End-December update

Soil Investigations (SIs) seem to have intensified along the probable Eastern Region Line (ERL) alignment recently. Boreholes and rigs have been spotted at multiple locations along the corridor and may help to determine where the line runs and locations of the stations. In previous updates, we found that boreholes are noticed at Marine Parade, Marine Terrace, Siglap, Bayshore, Upper East Coast near Temasek Secondary School and at Bedok Corner. Today, we cover these areas again and provide a little more information.

SIs at Upper East Coast

Several SI rigs were noted near Upper East Coast bus terminal towards Temasek Secondary school. This is along the inferred route of the ERL from Bayshore towards Bedok Corner.

SIs in Tanjong Rhu

As mentioned in the previous post, there has been a pick up in intensity of Soil Investigations in Tanjong Rhu lately. With a second trip down, the locations of the SI are more accurately plotted on the map below.

Early December update

Just a quick and short update for the first part of the month. Soil Investigations have seemed to move out of the Marina East Gardens and are now out in full force along Tanjong Rhu. There are at least 5 machines in operation between the East Gardens and the first condo near Tanjong Rhu View I believe. Another 2 machines sit in front of a condo on the other end of Tanjong Rhu near the KPE.
