Hooray, we’ve just completed the first phase of the Singapore Rail Test Centre (#SRTC). Construction of the high speed test track in this facility is now completed and the track is ready for operation! 🙌🥳

Slated for completion in 2025, the SRTC is the first train testing facility in Southeast Asia and will be a comprehensive testing platform for multiple railway systems before they are deployed on the main line. 🚆⚙️ This will facilitate round-the-clock testing and free up limited engineering hours on operational lines for maintenance and renewal works – which is aimed at strengthening the reliability of our rail network! 🔧✨

#DidYouKnow We’ve begun testing and commissioning works for the first 2 Circle Line 6 (#CCL6) trains 🧡 at the facility. The SRTC is also designed and operated with sustainability in mind e.g. energy-saving equipment, solar panels, and a hybrid cooling system. #MyGoGreenFlags 💚

#GoodNews The Singapore Rail Test Centre (#SRTC) is now open! 🥳

Featuring three test tracks to assess trains for their speed, performance and integration, as well as endurance, the SRTC can accommodate various signalling and communication systems used across the MRT network.🚆🛠

With the SRTC, we can now conduct round-the-clock testing ⏰ of trains in a controlled and localised environment, freeing up engineering time for other maintenance works. This will help us further enhance the reliability and efficiency of the rail network. 💪

#FunFact SRTC is green too! 💚 With sustainable features such as smart lighting control, solar photovoltaic panels and a hybrid cooling system, it has received BCA’s Green Mark Platinum Certification! #BuildLite
