By GlobalDataIt is expected to involve the design and construction of 387ha of land reclamation works bordered by 30m-high caisson walls, which are set to be 9.1km-long.
The Tuas Terminal is planned to be Singapore’s next-generation container terminal facility and is slated to be developed in four phases over a roughly 30-year period.
Boskalis will perform various dredging and civil engineering activities under the latest arrangement, including the deepening of the port basin and access channel, as well as the dredging of a sandkey and managing the supply of sand to create new land for the terminal.
The dredging and land reclamation works will involve the deployment of a medium-sized trailing suction hopper dredger, in addition to grab and backhoe dredgers and long-distance bulk carriers.
The works are scheduled to begin over the next few weeks and are expected to be completed by 2027.
