Additionally, the scope of services also consists of construction supervision, project management, civil and structural engineering, mechanical and electrical engineering, quantity surveying, architectural services, and environmental monitoring and management which are ongoing. Muthusamy Karthikeyan, SJ’s Director of Coastal Engineering explained:
As there is a short supply in sand around the world, the polder innovation will see a reduction of reliance on sand and other infill materials used, thus lowering the cost of reclamation and minimise construction delays. This system, as a result, will offer more flexibility to adapt to the evolving coastal environment and sea level rise. The successful delivery of the Pulau Tekong reclamation project will be a test and learn for the future application of this polder system in larger Singapore context. The project is ongoing with an aim to be completed by the end of 2024.
