However as a safety measure, LTA may request to install monitoring devices in your property to detect any possible ground movement.<br />2) The actual construction timeline will last from 2015 all the way to 2023. Construction activity in 2015 to early 2016 will mainly concentrate on services diversion. Thereafter civil contractors will begin on the construction itself. There may be a few traffic diversions, but if your property is not partially acquired, the diversions will not affect you directly.<br />3) The 400m radius indicates a notional walking distance of 5min from the stationsWei Kianghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10481880863875979700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2386666296932845692.post-25706740877539802702014-08-15T16:03:06.831+08:002014-08-15T16:03:06.831+08:00for option 2 of E4 tanjong katong (btm of the page...for option 2 of E4 tanjong katong (btm of the page), why would acquisition of land be required?ennehishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02183736671885386567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2386666296932845692.post-39219098037032740632014-08-15T15:43:25.298+08:002014-08-15T15:43:25.298+08:00hello, few questions

1. The base map is from ...Hi, here are the answers.<br />1. The base map is from onemap.sg. The hybrid option is switch on with the URA masterplan overlaid on the streetmap. If you like to look at landuse information, I suggest that you go take a look at the URA MP 2014 at www.ura.gov.sg/maps<br />2. Generally yes, however some part of the tunnels may be constructed using cut and cover method, especially at the crossovers. We mentioned that there may be one on the east side of E5 Marine Parade. There should be another one near E10 Bedok Corner. Another possibility where they will be major works are launch shafts that are in between stations, i.e not attached to any stations.<br />3. Land acquisition tends to happen only when they require the space for construction works or even the structure itself. So technically you can say that yes the tunnels can run under any property without any requirement of acquiring that plot of land. However, if it is deemed unsafe due to soil conditions, the government may acquired the land, or even as in the case of CCL, offer residents to move out during the construction period. What we usually see based on our experience, is that land acquisition tends to happen where there is compelling redevelopment potential at the same time by maxing out the plot ratio, eg. Pearl's Centre, Marymount Terrace; Or where there is not other land available for a station exit, eg.

Some questions:<br />- What is the base map you've used and is there a colour legend I can refer to?<br />- Can I assume that construction disruption will primarily happen in and around MRT stations and lesser so around the MRT line?<br />- When does the government need to do a land buy back? Can a MRT line be tunnelled under existing privately owned buildings without having to purchase that land?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16110736926430535108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2386666296932845692.post-72870633385756247042014-08-02T15:37:48.013+08:002014-08-02T15:37:48.013+08:00When they announce the stations the exact station ...When they announce the stations the exact station locations are given as well as a rough outline of the station footprint as well.

You will find it wide enough to accomodate a station here. Furthermore, as seen with the Thomson Line, LTA has been employing the use of stacked station configurations more often to fit stations into tight locations. These can be done for the Eastern Region Line as well.<br /><br />https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc3/579959_10151338780233244_161953346_n.jpgJonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00541538004258271804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2386666296932845692.post-2707547499104358532014-08-02T02:41:12.408+08:002014-08-02T02:41:12.408+08:00Have seen some comments and opinions with regards ...Have seen some comments and opinions with regards to the accuracy of the speculation thus far. We'd love to hear more from you for sure. Just a reminder of our previous attempt at station placement for the Thomson Line, you may view them here.<br /><br />Part 1: http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showpost.php?p=93961455&postcount=3056<br />Part 2: http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showpost.php?p=94136431&postcount=3103<br />Part 3: http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showpost.php?p=94567982&postcount=3152<br /><br />Also pertinent to note that Part 3 was released a day before the official announcement of the Thomson Line station locations. As with our speculation for the Thomson Line station locations, all information is based on evidence and observations that we have collected over a period of time.<br /><br />Announcements as of late are normally conducted during a ministerial visit to a transport facility. If you were to look at the recent track record for the announcement of station locations, you would find these instances.<br /><br />DTL3 station locations - announced during Transport Minister's visit to one-north CCL station<br />TSL station locations - announced during Transport Minister's visit to Telok Ayer DTL1 station<br /><br />Again, we are expecting that there may be a ministerial visit to Marina South Pier MRT station ahead of its opening, potentially in the following month. Station location announcements are seldom made in conjunction with new station or extension actual-day openings. This tends to take away the media-worthiness of the opening itself as the focus and interest shift to the newly revealed locations of the future stations. Do try to recall the last few lines openings, from Downtown Line 1 through to the Circle and North East Lines. To date, no station locations have been revealed during these lines' openings and we expect the Eastern Region Line announcement to be no different.<br /><br />That said, we may always be a little wrong as our info is largely an educated guess (like our placement of a station at Nassim on the Thomson Line, missing out on the Orchard Boulevard station).Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00541538004258271804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2386666296932845692.post-77139468827324487502014-08-01T08:48:50.291+08:002014-08-01T08:48:50.291+08:00All new lines in residential and commercial distri...All new lines in residential and commercial districts since 2000 will be underground.
