Having cleared our updates on the quicker-moving phase 1 of the Jurong Region Line (JRL), we're now starting our updates on the 7 stations that will form phase 2 of the line. The first of these is the hardest to reach - Tengah Plantation - which is sited in the middle of Plantation Crescent in Tengah new town. There is good news though, as the area is set to open up from around August with the home owners receiving their keys shortly. This means that the area will gradually become accessible in addition to having several vantage points from which the construction can be observed. We'll definitely be making use of these to bring you some updates.

Yesterday, the second launch gantry for contract J108 was raised into position south of Tengah Park station. The gantry will begin work assembling the viaduct spans for the cripple siding located here. The lifting process utilised 2 mobile crane units that lifted the gantry in a process known as a tandem lift. Once elevated to the desired height, the cranes swung the gantry over to the final position atop the supports and the gantry was locked in place.

The past quarter has seen the station site at Choa Chu Kang take shape as rebar is installed and concrete poured. More of the station cable troughs and base slab can be seen being built. Installed rebar gives us an idea of where the facilities such as vertical transport and viaduct columns will go. Most of the work has progressed out of foundation works and will transit to the building of the station structure.

Our next update brings us to contract J107 - specifically to Gek Poh. Things here are, like most other contracts for the Jurong Region Line (JRL), moving pretty quickly. Over the course of the last quarter, viaduct segment launching has commenced as has construction of part of the station concourse slab structure. Portal piers to the south are beginning to take shape as well and there's much to report from this neighbourhood. Full report after the jump.

Okay, this one is going to be a big update as there has been a lot of progress since our last update. For a more condensed update, do check out our Instagram or Facebook posts. Work has progressed fairly quickly within the last quarter over at contract J106 for the construction of Boon Lay Jurong Region Line (JRL) station and associated viaducts along Jurong West Street 64. Most of the viaduct piers have since been cast with approximately 4 to 5 left, whose columns have yet to be cast. The remaining viaduct piers are at various stages of completion, with some viaduct spans completed. The station area has progressed a little slower given its complexity but the first few pier supports there are beginning to take shape as well.
