An SK E&C official said, "We could win the final bidding for our ability to complete the project earlier than planned. The construction on the section 918A began in 2009 but it was halted in the middle because of the principal contractor's bankruptcy. For this reason, whether to speed up the project was the most important criterion for selection."
Earlier, SK E&C had won two subway projects from LTAbetween 2009 and 2011. With the latest deal, the contractor has a total of six construction projects under way in Singapore, including three subway projects for LTA, two cable underground tunnel projects, and an access road to Sentosa Island in the south of the city state.
