SINGAPORE - Reclamation works for the first phase of the Tuas port are three-quarters complete, with the last of the caissons - 15,000-tonne structures that form wharves - being installed on Tuesday afternoon .
The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore is on track to hand over the land required for PSA Corporation to start building the container terminals, with the first two berths to start operating by 2021, said MPA chief executive Quah Ley Hoon at the event. Among the innovations used in the construction was the TemaRock, a rock mound construction vessel developed for the Tuas project by DIAP-Daelim.These rock mounds would usually require four vessels, 45 workers including divers, and up to 132 hours to construct for a project as big as the first phase of the Tuas port.
A special machine was also used to bend and cut reinforcement steel bars, which are used to strengthen concrete. The process is usually done manually, exposing workers to hazards.Minister for Transport Khaw Boon Wan, who witnessed the installation of the final caisson, congratulated the engineering team and commended their spirit of innovation.
