@ltasg: What’s different about building this MRT tunnel? 👀 Usually, we build two separate tunnels for trains travelling in opposite directions. But for the first time in over 40 years of building MRT tunnels, we used a large-diameter Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) to build one large tunnel for both tracks, separated by a centre wall.🚇🚇 At about 12.6m in diameter, this massive TBM bored approximately 2.9km of the tunnel between the future Tampines North and Defu stations on the Cross Island Line. With tunnelling now complete, look at how big we went for the CRL! 🏗️ 🔜✨Stay tuned for the next video on building the centre wall! #CrossIslandLine #TunnelBoringMachine

Matty ham :
Why do we need a centre wall when trains run side by side above ground? Is it to manage the air pressure?

So what happens to the TBM after the boring works are done? Do you just bury it underground or put on Carousell? 🤣
