AECOM announced today that it has been awarded a detailed design contract worth approximately US$22 million from the Singapore Land Transport Authority.
Under the contract — one of five major architectural and engineering consultancy packages related to the creation of the Thomson Line within the island nation’s Mass Rapid Transit system — AECOM will design five underground stations and complete nearly four miles of route-alignment work.
“AECOM is eager to play a key role in supporting the growth of Singapore’s critical transportation infrastructure,” said AECOM President and Chief Executive Officer John M. Dionisio.
The metro line runs through an area with a mixture of residential and commercial buildings. The Thomson Line is scheduled for completion during 2018.
