The Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL) will be Singapore’s sixth Mass Rapid Transit line that connects the northern and eastern regions of Singapore with the downtown district. The 43km-long, fully underground, medium-capacity MRT line will be one of the world’s longest driverless rapid transit lines. When fully completed, there will be eight interchanges that connect to all the major MRT lines, bringing convenience to about 1 million commuters daily and relieve crowding on the East-West and North-South Lines.
Apart from being the lead electrical and mechanical consultant for more than 10 stations of the TEL, WSP is also the architectural and engineering consultant for the East Coast Integrated Depot. This is the world’s first integrated 4-in-1 depot facility with stacked three-level rail depot, stabling yards, workshops and a multi-level bus depot. With such integration, 44 hectares of land, or an area of approximately 51 football fields will be saved in land-scarce Singapore.
