East Coast Integrated Depot is 75% complete: LTA

The depot will likely be completed in 2025.

East Coast Integrated Depot, the world’s first four-in-one depot, is already 75% complete, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) said.

In an update, the LTA said rail tracks are already being fitted in the depot, whilst the installation of electrical and maintenance, and system services are underway.

“Concreting and architectural works are ongoing,” added the LTA.
ECID is slated for completion in 2025 and will integrate three train depots and one bus depot into a single site.

According to the LTA, the train depot complex will house three MRT Lines: the Downtown Line Depot, the Thomson-East Coast Line Depot, and the East-West Line Depot.

“The three train depots have been designed to operate independently of one another, with a total stabling capacity of around 220 trains,” the LTA said.

Next to the train depot complex will be the bus depot. As per the LTA, the bus despot’\s ground level will house the maintenance depot while the upper levels will provide parking for about 760 buses.

“Green features will be incorporated, such as the solar panels installed on the roof of the rail and bus depots, usage of LED lighting and a façade design which optimises natural ventilation and natural lighting,” the LTA added.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
