LEIGHTON – DTSS T09 Project
Awarded by Leighton Contractors (Asia) Limited (Singapore Branch) for 2 units of 50 ton Gantry Cranes for Public Utilities Board (PUB) for Deep Tunnel Sewerage System (DTSS) Phase 2 Project – Contract T-09
The project is part of a network of 40 km of deep tunnels and 60 km of link sewers for DTSS Phase 2 which will be built using the tunnelling method.
Over the next seven years, they will develop the detailed design and construct some 30 km of deep tunnels and link sewers as well as the associated ancillary structures.
This network of 100 km of deep tunnels and link sewers will connect to the Tuas Water Reclamation Plant, which is expected to be completed in 2025. By then, the whole of Singapore will be served by the DTSS.
Used water will be conveyed from the DTSS via gravity to three centralised water reclamation plants for treatment, before it undergoes further purification to produce NEWater, or discharged into the sea.
Jenmon International, a specialist in high speed deep tunnel gantry cranes was then awarded by Leighton Asia to design, fabricate, supply, deliver, install, test and commission 2 units of 50 ton Gantry Cranes.
In this project, the Tunnel Boring Machines (TBM) will be travelling underground along the Ayer Rajah Expressway. Hence, both units of cranes had to be customized with a span of 30 m and 65m height of lift and a long travelling 80m to achieve the lifting operation required.
These gantries can be de-rated to 25 tons and rated back to 50 tons as and when the works is required.
Another feature on these gantries is Jenmon’s proprietary software, eSmart system.
- eSMART system is designed as a safety device to prevent crane accidents at job site. It provides real-time data to authorised personnel to halt the crane operations immediately, if required.
- The system works on Real-time Detection of Faults sent to mobile. Alerts are sent Via SMS or Whatsapp. Mobile app installed on Supervisor or PIC mobile to allow the authorisation of crane stoppage remotely due to inappropriate usage of crane by operator or crane faults.
- Allow immediate rectification of crane faults by crane specialist or to correct/retrain the crane operator on the mishandling of crane.
With the completion of this project, Jenmon has yet again further enhanced our capability in providing the best lifting solutions to our customers.
