Transforming Singapore: The Journey to a Smart City

🌍Singapore is running out of space on the surface, leading to innovative solutions to create space underground.

⚙️The deep tunnel sewerage system is one of Singapore's biggest underground projects, revolutionizing waste disposal and water management.

🛠️Vertical shaft sinking machines are being used to construct shafts for the tunnel boring machines, saving space in urban areas.

🏙️These projects are part of Singapore's vision to become a smart city, using technology to improve living conditions and sustainability.

🌊The deep tunnel sewerage system will free up 300 hectares of land above ground, creating new opportunities for development.
