Kallang / Paya Lebar Expressway

Our Role

SMEC provided design including geotechnical analysis for all temporary and permanent underground works.

The Land Transport Authority (owners of the project) proposed the use of cut-and-cover methods to construct the tunnel.

SMEC’s design included several cut-and-cover methods and extensive soil improvement techniques to enhance the stability and strength of the predominantly soft materials on-site.
