The Land Transport Authority has awarded a contract to design and construct a 5-km large-diameter tunnel between Fairways Drive and Sin Ming Walk to Obayashi Corporation and Shanghai Tunnel Engineering Co (Singapore) Pte Ltd Joint Venture (OC-STEC CR202 JV).

​

The single bored tunnel will contain two mainline tracks. It will be constructed with a large Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) of approximately 12m in diameter. Contract CR202 also covers a TBM launch shaft, transition tunnels to Future Underground Infrastructure, a Facility Building, a Temporary Staging Area (TSA), and a TSA Shaft.

​

CRL Phase 2 is roughly 15 kilometers. Comprised of six underground stations, the second phase will benefit 40,000 households, including those living in areas that are not served by any MRT line. 

STEC is proud to win the WSH Silver Performance award in the Silver category for the fourth consecutive year. This award recognizes the consistent effort that we have made in implementing robust WSH strategies to keep our employees safe and healthy.  

STEC is also the recipient of 5 SHARP awards for the excellent safety performance of our ongoing projects in 2022. These projects are LTA Jurong Region Line J102; LTA Thomson-East Coast Line T305; LTA T316; LTA North-South Corridor N109A; and PUB Deep Tunnel Sewerage System Phase 2 T11. STEC has obtained WSH SHARP Awards for eight years straight. 

STEC has been ranked among Singapore's Best Employers 2022 for the third consecutive year, based on a study by The Straits Times and Statista. Over 17,000 respondents participated in the survey that evaluated more than 1,700 employers with at least 200 employees. 

​

We are ranked 4th in the construction category and 69th overall, up from 95th in the previous year. "Employees are essential to our growth, in good times and bad. Hence, we make it a point to reward and invest in them," says Mr. Khor Eng Leong, Managing Director of STEC.

​

The ranking demonstrates the effort and progress that STEC has made to better support its staff, particularly in diversity, career advancement opportunities, and employees' well-being. Some initiatives we have rolled out include gender-blind recruitment, a mentorship program, and physical and mental health resources.

STEC is delighted to be among the 47 companies and individuals who received the 2022 Land Transport Excellence Award (LTEA) for their contributions to building a people-centered land transport system in Singapore. We were named the Best Managed Rail/Road Infrastructure Project Partner in recognition of our work on the tunnels between Woodlands Station and Woodlands Avenue 12 for the fully underground Thomson-East Coast Line. 

​

The project, which includes ten tunnel drives with five TBMs, was inherently challenging as it crossed below major roads and was close to residential buildings. Through a combination of innovative engineering solutions, STEC not only ensured the safe completion of works and improved efficiency but also significantly reduced environmental impact.

​

STEC previously won the LTEA Best Project Partner in 2019 for its excellent performance in the construction of Gul Circle Station as part of the East-West Line. 

Funan underground pedestrian link (UPL) is officially open to the public on 21 December 2021. The tunnel links the Basement 2 of Funan mall to City Hall MRT station and surrounding shopping centers including The Adelphi, Capitol Piazza and Raffles City. 

Built by STEC, the 108-meter long and 6-meter wide linkway provides a convenient and sheltered journey. Shoppers can easily move between destinations in the city center without having to walk outside. The tunnel includes provisions for future connection with adjacent buildings such as Peninsula Plaza and St. Andrew’s Cathedral.
 

The underground link will also serve as a place to display works by various local artists. From 14 January to 13 February 2022, visitors will be able to view artworks showcased inside the UPL as part of Singapore Art Week 2022. 

LTA has awarded STEC - LT Sambo Joint Venture (STEC-Sambo JV) with Contract CR102 to design and build tunnels between Aviation Park Station and Changi East Depot. A total of five tunnels with an inner diameter of 6.3 meters and a combined length of 6 kilometers will be constructed using four Earth Pressure Balance shield machines. 

STEC-Sambo JV will execute the project according to aviation height restrictions due to its proximity to Changi Airport. With a construction period of eight years, the works are scheduled for completion in December 2029.

Contract CR102 is a part of Cross Island Line Phase 1 (CRL1). The 29km-long MRT line which consists of 12 stations will serve over 100,000 households. The Cross Island Line is the eighth MRT line in Singapore.

STEC is honored to receive two awards at the 23rd Annual Safety Health and Environmental Award Convention (ASAC) 2021 held by LTA on 09 November 2021. 

​

The Construction Safety Excellence Award and Construction Workplace Health Award were given to Contract T305 - Katong Park Station and Tunnels to commend the high safety and health standard implemented at T305 worksite.

​

As a leading construction firm backed by 25 years of a strong safety record, we recognize our role in championing WSH best practices and reaffirm our commitment in contributing to a safer, healthier and more sustainable future of Singapore. 

This year, STEC has clinched a total of eight WSH Awards 2021, including Silver Award for the third consecutive year, for our excellent performance and enduring commitment in Workplace Safety and Health (WSH)

​

At the event, held virtually by WSH Council and the Ministry of Manpower, each of the following projects STEC currently undertakes won a SHARP Performance Award:

- LTA Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL) Contract T225 Shenton Way Station

- LTA TEL Contract T305 Katong Park Station and Tunnels

- LTA TEL Contract T310 Bayshore Station and Tunnels (Joint Venture)

- LTA North-South Corridor Tunnels Contract N109A

- LTA Underground Infrastructure Contract T316

- LTA Jurong Region Line Contract J102

Public Utilities Board (PUB) has appointed Shanghai Tunnel Engineering Co (S) Pte Ltd to design and construct a 6m diameter tunnel along with twin 2200mm and 1200mm diameter water pipelines connecting the Proposed Tuas Water Reclamation Plant (TWRP) to Jurong Island. 

​

The S$116 million contract is the third PUB project entrusted to STEC Singapore after its involvement in PUB Deep Tunnel Sewerage System (DTSS) Phase 1 and 2.

​

TWRP is a key element of DTSS Phase 2 which advances Singapore's water sustainability. The plant will treat industrial and domestic used water from the western half of Singapore which will be further purified for reuse. With a treatment capacity of 800,000 cubic meters per day, Tuas WRP will be the largest facility of its kind in the world. Construction works are set to begin in July 2021 and are due to be completed in 2024.

​

The successful completion of Funan Underground Pedestrian Linkway (UPL) project marks STEC Singapore's entry into a new market. As a leader and innovator in underground space development, STEC is at the forefront in introducing new underground construction technologies. 

​

Funan UPL is STEC Singapore's first Rectangular Pipe Jacking Machine (RPJM) project and first commercial project in which RPJM, a less disruptive and more environmentally-friendly methodology, is adopted for the construction of underground pedestrian link. The project comprises the construction of a 108m tunnel consisting of 68 rectangular segments which links Funan Mall to Capitol Piazza. Upon completion, the public can directly travel from City Hall MRT Station to Funan Mall.  

​

The project developer of Funan UPL is CapitaLand and the main contractor is Woh Hup - Obayashi Joint Venture. 

The Land Transport Authority (LTA) awarded an underground infrastructure contract (T316) to Shanghai Tunnel Engineering Co. (Singapore) Pte Ltd on 10 October 2019. 

​

The $321.7 million project entails the construction and completion of twin bored tunnels which connect Changi Airport Terminal 5 (T5) to Changi Airport Station Terminal 2 (T2) North Finger Pier. The contract also includes the construction of associated cross passages, launch shaft, underground infrastructure, tunnels low point sumps, and the associated ancillary works.
