SINGAPORE – Two upcoming Build-To-Order projects in Tengah will pilot construction technologies such as 3D concrete printing to increase productivity and cut material wastage, which may set the standards for future BTO developments.

The two projects in Tengah comprise 18 residential blocks ranging from nine to 16 storeys. They will house the full range of flat types, from rental to two-room flexi to five-room. Tengah is Singapore’s 24th HDB town and billed as a “forest town” with a car-free town centre. The 700ha town – around the size of Bishan – is estimated to provide 30,000 units of public housing and 12,000 units of private housing across five housing districts when it is completed.

Artificial intelligence in tower crane operations will optimise hoisting routes for precast components, to reduce the manpower required for such repetitive and labour-intensive activities. Tengah Pond is a man-made pond that serves to detain stormwater for the southern part of the town. There, residents will have access to nature play gardens, fitness facilities and lookout decks.
