History

On 9 May 2018, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) announced that a joint rail and bus depot in the Tengah area will serve the proposed Jurong Region line (JRL). The depot was expected to be completed in 2026 along with Phase 1 of the JRL. [1] [2] However, the restrictions on construction due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Singapore has led to delays, with the completion date pushed by one year to 2027. [3]

Contract J101 for the construction of Tengah Depot and its associated facilities was awarded to China Railway 11 Bureau Group Corporation (Singapore Branch) at S$739.5 million in November 2019. Construction will begin in 2020, with an expected completion in 2027. [4] [5]

Design

The depot includes a rail administration building, stabling yards, test track, storage warehouses and maintenance workshops. The administrative building will house the Operation Control Centre (OCC) and Depot Control Centre (DCC) for the Jurong Region line. The stabling yards have a capacity for 100 four-car trains, and stabling capacity supplemented by an additional stabling facility located off Peng Kang Hill Station. [4]

The multi-storey bus depot will be co-located with the facility and will provide parking and maintenance facilities for about 600 buses. It will also house a Bus Operations Control Centre. Within the site will be a four-storey transport workers' dormitory which can accommodate 450 bus captains. [4] [6]
