AECOM announced today that it has been awarded an electrical, mechanical and architectural consultancy contract for Singapore’s proposed North-South Expressway worth nearly US$15 million.
AECOM will provide multidisciplinary services covering mechanical, electrical, plumbing, structural, fire engineering, geotechnical, environmental and transportation-planning to accommodate the project’s complex technical challenges. The 13.4-mile expressway will run parallel to the country’s Central Expressway, connecting towns along the north-south corridor, such as Woodlands, Sembawang, Yishun, Ang Mo Kio, Bishan and Toa Payoh, with the city center.
“We are delighted to play a key role in the North-South Expressway project,” said AECOM Chairman and Chief Executive Officer John M. Dionisio. “By participating in this important project, AECOM will be able to utilize our integrated capabilities to contribute to the continued advancement of Singapore’s infrastructure.”
The proposed expressway is expected to relieve the traffic load on the heavily utilized Central Expressway, as well as nearby major arterial roads. According to the Land Transport Authority of Singapore, it is anticipated that the expressway will save commuters from the northern towns up to 30 percent of their current commuting times during peak hours.
