Adding to an already complex subway system means building around a busy urban network of existing tunnels, pipes, telecommunications lines and so on. Another issue is carrying out construction projects on soft ground that has been extended through land reclamation to enlarge Singapore\u2019s territory.<\/p><p>Yet Samsung C&amp;T\u2019s Engineering &amp; Construction Group has\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/en\/samsung-ct-advances-singapore-urbanization\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">plenty of experience<\/a>\u00a0in overcoming these challenges.

The tunnel is being built beneath canals, as there are two waterways running through the T313 site. Therefore, a lot of effort has been made to temporarily divert the waterways during construction. Whenever utilities like water and power are to be affected, it requires official approval from each related authority.<\/p><p>A further complexity is that eight subway lines will run through the tunnel when it is completed. This means the railways cannot simply be built in straight lines, but rather they need to spread out like tree branches.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0e4a016 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"0e4a016\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/10\/Samsung-CTs-team-had-to-put-in-a-lot-of-effort-to-divert-the-Ketapang-Canal-last-August.-These-images-show-from-left-to-right-the-process-of-creating-a-new-waterway..jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MzgxMTIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC9uZXdzLnNhbXN1bmdjbnQuY29tXC91cGxvYWRcLzIuMFwvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvc2l0ZXNcLzNcLzIwMTlcLzEwXC9TYW1zdW5nLUNUcy10ZWFtLWhhZC10by1wdXQtaW4tYS1sb3Qtb2YtZWZmb3J0LXRvLWRpdmVydC10aGUtS2V0YXBhbmctQ2FuYWwtbGFzdC1BdWd1c3QuLVRoZXNlLWltYWdlcy1zaG93LWZyb20tbGVmdC10by1yaWdodC10aGUtcHJvY2Vzcy1vZi1jcmVhdGluZy1hLW5ldy13YXRlcndheS4uanBnIn0%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"192\" src=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/10\/Samsung-CTs-team-had-to-put-in-a-lot-of-effort-to-divert-the-Ketapang-Canal-last-August.-These-images-show-from-left-to-right-the-process-of-creating-a-new-waterway..jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-38112\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/10\/Samsung-CTs-team-had-to-put-in-a-lot-of-effort-to-divert-the-Ketapang-Canal-last-August.-These-images-show-from-left-to-right-the-process-of-creating-a-new-waterway..jpg 940w, https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/10\/Samsung-CTs-team-had-to-put-in-a-lot-of-effort-to-divert-the-Ketapang-Canal-last-August.-These-images-show-from-left-to-right-the-process-of-creating-a-new-waterway.-300x75.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Samsung C&amp;T\u2019s team had to put in a lot of effort to divert the Ketapang Canal last August.
