  • Creation of Space in Rock Caverns in Singapore — Past, Present and Future
    CREATION OF SPACE IN ROCK CAVERNS IN SINGAPORE — PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE Lui Pao Chuen1,ZhaoJian2,4 and Zhou Yingxin3 1National Research Foundation, Prime Minister’s Office, Singapore. E-mail: LUI Pao [email protected] 2Ecole Polytechnique Fdrale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland E-mail: jian.zhao@epfl.ch 3Defence Science and Technology Agency (DSTA), Singapore. E-mail: [email protected] 4Nanyang Centre for Underground Space, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. Systematic study of rock cavern developments started in Singapore around 1980s, with fea- sibility studies for different applications. Construction of the first cavern project, the Under- ground Ammunition Facility (UAF), began in 1999 and commissioned in 2008. The second cavern project, the Jurong Rock Caverns (JRC) for hydrocarbon storage below the seabed, will begin operation in 2013. The development of an Underground Master Plan is in progress. Greater use of underground space in Singapore can be expected in the future to meet the needs of a growing population. Keywords: Underground space; Rock cavern; Underground master planning. 1. OVERVIEW OF SINGAPORE With its land area of 710 km2 and a total population of over 5 million, Singapore is one of the world’s smallest and most densely populated countries. Singapore is also one of the most developed economies and wealthy nations. Continuing economic development and rapid population growth have led to increasing demand for land space, as shown in Table 1. Some of the solutions to increase land space are land reclamation, high-rise building, and extensive use of deep basements and tunnels. Land reclamation has been the primary mean for increasing the total land area of Singapore.
