LTA to fix vibration at Botanic Gardens stretch for its Circle Line
07 Mar 2015|1,780 views
After receiving public feedback on vibration, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) will replace rail fasteners along the Botanic Gardens stretch of the new Circle Line to address high vibration levels, reported The Straits Times.
A spokesman said, "LTA is replacing the rail fasteners, which hold and support the rails on which the trains run, near the Circle Line's Botanic Gardens station. This is to reduce the higher track vibration levels felt there."
She said there were isolated complaints about Serangoon and Holland Village stations too. But after checking, LTA found that 'vibrations experienced at these two stations are within specified limits'.
She explained that 'the stiffer ground conditions and tighter turning radius of the track near the Botanic Gardens station exacerbate the vibrations' at that stretch.
Works will be carried out only after operational hours, and will be completed by the second quarter of next year. The appointed contractor must finish design work by September. Physical works will begin after that, the spokesman added.
