History

On 15 August 2014, LTA announced that Tanjong Rhu station would be part of the proposed Thomson East-Coast line (TEL). The station will be constructed as part of Phase 4, consisting of 8 stations between Founders' Memorial and Bayshore, and is expected to be completed in 2023.[3][4]

The Contract T303 for the design and construction of Tanjong Rhu Station was awarded to Bachy Soletanche Singapore Pte Ltd – Wai Fong Construction Pte Ltd Joint Venture at a sum of S$294 million on January 2016. Construction will start in 2016, with completion in 2023.[5]

The construction of this station involves the construction of a cut-and-cover tunnel above the Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway (KPE) tunnel. Steel sheet piles has to be driven into the ground to retain the earth and ensure the stability of both tunnels. In addition, to minimise ground movement, steel rods will be used to stabilise the excavated surface.[6]
