Thomson-East Coast Line Project

The Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL) is Singapore’s longest underground driverless MRT line, spanning over 43 km and connecting 32 stations. Encardio Rite provided thousands of sensors for the project across multiple contracts, including piezometers, arc weldable strain gauges, and tilt meters, ensuring real-time monitoring and safety throughout construction. From Steven to Napier and Shenton Way to Marina Bay, Encardio Rite’s advanced geotechnical solutions safeguard structural integrity, supporting this major infrastructure’s successful and safe completion across Singapore’s north-south and east-west corridors.

Thomson-East Coast Line Project

Thomson–East Coast Line (TEL) is a medium-capacity Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) line in Singapore. It is fully underground with 32 stations and over 43 km tunnel length. Once complete, it will be one of the world's longest driverless rapid transit lines. It runs along a combined north-south and east-west corridor, starting in the north at Woodlands town, passing through Upper Thomson and the towns of Ang Mo Kio and Bishan, before heading south to Orchard Road and Marina Bay, then running eastwards along the east coast through Kallang, Marine Parade and Bedok South, before ending at Upper East Coast. 

Thousands of Encardio-rite sensors were used in different project contracts to monitor its safety. A few of the contracts are mentioned below.

  • Steven to Napier MRT Station Contract T216 and T217 (LTA Contract T2805)

Around 260 numbers of Piezometers, 600 numbers of Arc Weldable Strain Gauges, and 26 numbers of Tilt meters were used in the project. All sensors (100%) are operating satisfactorily until today.

  • Orchard Boulevard to Orchard MRT Station Contract T218 and T219 (LTA Contract T2806)

Around 125 numbers of Piezometers, 1055 numbers of Arc Weldable Strain Gauges, and 50 numbers of Tilt meters were used in the project. All sensors (100%) are operating satisfactorily until today.

  • Great World to Havelock MRT Station Contract T218 and T219 (LTA Contract T2807)

The project used around 235 Pyzometers, 800 Arc Weldable Strain Gauges, and 40 Tilt meters. All sensors (100%) have operated satisfactorily until today.

  • Mandai Depot, Woodlands South to SpringLeaf MRT Station Contract T201, T207 and T208 (LTA Contract T2209)

The project used around 140 Pyzometers, 585 Arc Weldable Strain Gauges, and 35 Tilt meters. All sensors (100%) have operated satisfactorily until today.

  • Shenton Way to Marina Bay MRT Station Contract T225 and T226 (LTA Contract T2907)

The project used around 270 Pyzometers, 565 Arc Weldable Strain Gauges, 60 Tilt meters, 330 EL beam sensors, and 40 crack meters. All sensors (100%) have been operating satisfactorily until today.
