LTA awards $573m MRT line repair deals

The deals will focus on renewing the power supply on the North-South and East-West Lines.

The Land Transport Authority (LTA) has awarded contracts worth $573m to renew the power supply and track circuit systems on the North-South and East-West Lines (NSEWL).

According to a press release, two of the contracts were awarded to Meiden Singapore Pte Ltd.

A third contract valued at $73m was also awarded to a consortium comprising Siemens Pte Ltd and ENGIE Services Singapore Pte Ltd to replace the NSEWL track circuit system.

The NSEWL’s new power supply system will be equipped with features that significantly reduce the number of power-related faults. The new system will allow for real-time monitoring and better fault prediction, detection and identification.

Moreover, LTA will also be increasing the capacity of the traction substations and intake power substations at Yasin, Bishan, and Stamford.

The design and on-site works for these systems will commence in 2018 and are targeted for completion by the early 2020s.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
