Singapore: Life underground
Singapore is digging deep to future-proof itself - literally. Here's a look at what’s already under our feet.
Bencoolen is currently the deepest MRT station at 43m below ground. But it will be dethroned after King Albert Park station - 50m underground - is completed in 2032.
Buried metres under Bidadari Park is Singapore’s first underground service reservoir. It supplies water to households in the Bidadari estate - that’s 8,800 homes!
Another underground landmark is Jurong Rock Caverns. It stores liquid hydrocarbons and helps free up land space of around 70 football fields.
