Appointed by the Land Transport Authority (LTA) of Singapore as the lead consultant to conduct the Advanced Engineering Study (AES) for the complete design of the Singapore stretch of the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore HSR, AECOM presented the design of Jurong East terminus.
In undertaking the AES, AECOM and its consortium partners – HSR architect Farrells and local architects Architects 61 and CPG Consultants – have commenced work on the HSR concept design and will facilitate on-schedule implementation through the provision of “buildable” design.
“The Jurong East terminus design will be a key international gateway to travelers and should be a true reflection of Singapore, meeting its high standards for functionality, safety, efficiency and accessibility,” said Mahatma Subbaiyan, vice president of transportation, AECOM Singapore.
The consortium will provide architectural, civil, structural, electrical, mechanical and other associated design services needed for the terminus, tunnels and the bridge connecting Singapore and Malaysia at the Straits of Johor.
“The Kuala Lumpur-Singapore High Speed Rail is a key project for the governments of Singapore and Malaysia and will be an iconic landmark, providing the strategic link between both cities,” said Billy Wong, AECOM’s regional executive of Southeast Asia.
At present, the Singapore-KL route is served by planes and buses. Once completed in 2026, its tracks will run for 350 km along the west coast of Peninsula Malaysia –with 15 km in Singapore and 335 km in Malaysia, and is expected to cut travel time between both cities to 90 minutes.
