T312 - Sungei Bedok update Q3 2023

 

23 September 2023 - A view of the exit in front of Bedok camp with the metal roof frame in place.

The last contract for the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL) is T312 for the construction of Sungei Bedok station and cut & cover tunnels. Over the last quarter, the station's exits have begun to take shape with the roofs being installed. Typically, the exits would be the last parts of the station to be completed after all materials have been delivered through the openings into the station's interior. With work on the exits at the station proceeding, the station is entering into the final stages of completion. Once the escalators are installed, unless the station has special openings, it is relatively difficult for big & bulky materials such as ventilation ducts, escalators or pallets to be brought in.

Over at Sungei Bedok, work has been ongoing to complete the roof structures at the various station exits. A metal frame has been installed over the exit in front of the Bedok army camp while a concrete one has been cast at the exit in front of the Bedok Food Centre. A further bank of exits, including one which will allow cyclists to bring their bicycles down to the underground parking facility also appear to be in advanced stages of construction.
