Samsung C&T bags $555m Marine Parade station construction deal

Works will begin in Q1 2016.

The Korean contractor has clinched the first civil contract for the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL), according to a release by the Land Transport Authority.

Samsung C&T Corporation will construct the Marine Parade station and its associated tunnels for a contract sum of approximately $555 million. Construction works are expected to start by the first quarter of 2016 and targeted to complete in 2023

Samsung C&T was previously involved in the construction of North-South Line Marina South Pier station and Downtown Line 1 Telok Ayer station.

“When TEL is completed, commuters in the eastern part of Singapore will be linked directly to the north. Today, a Republic Polytechnic student will have to take an 80-minute bus ride back to his home in Marine Parade. With TEL, he will be able to reach home in an hour, a time saving of almost 25%,” LTA’s statement said.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
