Singapore
does it in style!
In the six decades since its inception, Voltas has played a strong role in infrastructure building, be it road construction, providing last mile connectivity in rural electrification or through its involvement in transportation systems of the country. Not just that; Voltas has led the way in similar projects internationally as well!
One such project is Singapore’s Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL) – T273B, a fully underground joint line between the Thomson Line and the Eastern Region Line. Singapore’s sixth Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) line, it’s the fourth to be completely automated and driverless. It will be among the world’s longest driverless rapid transit lines, with seven interchange stations.
Voltas is involved in the first two stages of the project, i.e. the supply and installation of Tunnel Ventilation and Environmental Control Systems for 9 stations and 2 ancillary buildings, including 2 interchange stations - Woodlands – also a Civil Defence shelter - and Caldecott.
Work has been progressing smoothly, and the team has picked up quite a few commendations along the way. A few months ago, they were honoured to receive three more!
At the Work Safety & Health Awards (2019) the team won the silver in the Workplace Safety & Health Performance category, as well as the Workplace Safety & Health SHARP Award (Safety and Health Award Recognition for Projects). Over 400-500 companies participated in these awards.
Barely a month later, Voltas received the ‘Accident Free Recognition Award’ from the Land Transport Authority, for successful completion of stage I of the project. This was followed by another milestone in safety – 2 Million Accident Free Man Hours.
Keep them coming, Singapore!
