Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
Interesting how Singapore is the world’s most intensive user of TBMs yet we don’t really have skilled local tunnelling contractors.
Nor do we learn much about them especially considering Singapore’s varied geology posing interesting challenges
I always thought that this series by CNA showcase Singaporeans who are innovating in many different fields. Yet, I also always find posts about Singapore being not innovative. I am trying to understand the disconnect. Are for example using garbage to replace sand, using caissons for reclamation, deep tunnel sewage system, converting pee into drinkable water on a national scale, having vertical fish, eggs and hydroponic vegetable farms, recycling lithium ion batteries with 99% purity, having earthworms for compost, having two of the most successful southeast asian start-up with Grab and Shopee, not a sign of innovation?
I guess it depends on what we mean by innovation and the extent of newness that one expect. Why do we keep thinking that we aren’t innovative?
