Tiong Seng unit secures S$113.8m Alexandra View project

TIONG Seng Contractors, the subsidiary of mainboard-listed construction group and property developer, Tiong Seng Holdings, has been awarded a S$113.8 million contract at Alexandra View by FEC Skyline.

Beginning from March this year, the project updates the group's construction order book size to about S$1 billion, extending till 2020.

The project involves the use of advanced precast construction, prefabricated bathroom unit (PBU) and design for manufacturing and assembly (DFMA).

The works required are to design, construct and maintain a 44-storey tower comprising 400 residential units, first storey commercial including supermarket, second level basement carpark, with provision for child care centre, communal facilities, tennis court and swimming pool.

Said Pek Lian Guan, CEO of Tiong Seng Holdings: "Despite the relatively weak construction demand forecast for the private sector, we are pleased to make headway with our first contract win this year.

"Positioned to capture the progressive shift towards advanced technologies, we have incorporated processes such as DFMA for this project. This helps to identify, quantify, and reduce inefficiencies as we seek to optimise manufacturing processes to lower costs and production time. With a focus on moving construction work off-site and enhanced productivity, systemised innovations such as PBU and precast construction will also be implemented for this project."
