SINGAPORE’S Land Transport Authority (LTA) awarded a S$200 million contract to ST Engineering ’s Urban Solutions to work on two key systems for the Cross Island Line (CRL).
On Friday (Apr 14), LTA announced that Urban Solutions will design and build the integrated supervisory control system for the CRL.
It will also do so for the line’s communications system, which comprises various sub-systems such as the communication backbone network and video surveillance.
ST Engineering is expected to start work in the second quarter of 2023.
The authority said it awarded the contract to ST Engineering for its cost competitiveness, expertise and track record, as well as the quality of the solutions it proposed.
Urban Solutions previously completed the communications systems for four other railway lines, as well as the integrated supervisory control systems for the Circle Line and Downtown Line.
LTA also awarded a S$450 million contract to Siemens Mobility to build the CRL’s signalling and platform screen door systems.
The CRL is Singapore’s eighth Mass Rapid Transit line. It will serve existing and future developments in the eastern, north-eastern and western parts of Singapore, linking major hubs such as the Jurong Lake District, Punggol Digital District and Changi.
Shares of ST Engineering fell by 0.3 per cent or S$0.01 to close at S$3.62 on Friday.
