The Extreme Challenges Faced By Singapore's Subway Expansion | Building The Biggest

Singapore's ambitious MRT subway expansion, one of the largest in the world, involved complex tunnelling under a densely populated city with challenging soil conditions. It highlights the engineering precision required to avoid structural damage, the slow and careful progress of tunnel boring machines, and the safety measures in place for workers. The project underscored Singapore's rapid transformation from a developing to a developed nation, with the new subway system set to alleviate transport chaos and integrate advanced civil defense features in the stations.
