 Fresh approach to Singapore MRT: News from Chartered Institute of Building [CIOB]
Tunnelling work on the latest section of Singapore's Mass Rapid Transit Circle Line is to resume on a new alignment after the temporary works collapse last April in which three construction workers and a technical officer of the island's Land Transport Authority were killed.

The Singapore standard code of practice for safety management of construction worksites they said did not refer to such complex projects as were in hand at the time of the accident.
