The Land Transport Authority (LTA) of Singapore has appointed AECOM Singapore Pte Ltd and its team of specialist consultants to conduct the advanced engineering study (AES) for the complete design of the high speed rail (HSR) infrastructure within Singapore. This includes providing architectural, civil, electrical, mechanical and other design services required for the Jurong East terminus, tunnels, and the bridge across the Straits of Johor.
The Kuala Lumpur-Singapore 350-km high speed rail line will have eight stations, including Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, cutting travel time between Singapore and Kuala Lumpur to 90 minutes.
AECOM and its team of consultants were selected through a highly competitive tender process. They bring extensive experience in HSR projects internationally, including in the planning and design of the Beijing South HSR Station in China, the High Speed 2 railway in the United Kingdom, and the West Kowloon Terminus for the Express Rail Link in Hong Kong. AECOM Singapore has a strong track record in Singapore as well, having worked with LTA to design the Circle Line, Downtown Line, Thomson-East Coast Line, and the Tuas West Extension.
