Canberra MRT Station, Sembawang, Singapore Case Study 2 Case Study Canberra MRT Station Canberra MRT Station Case Study 3

The Project

The Canberra station (NS12) is an elevated Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station on the North South Line located along Canberra Link in Sembawang, Singapore. The station will be linked to Canberra Plaza via an elevated sheltered footbridge built across Canberra Link. It is estimated that approximately 17,000 households will benefit from the station due to the upcoming Aesthetics Housing and Development Board (HDB) public housing developments, private condominiums as well as landed properties (Sembawang Springs Estate) located near the station. RSP Architects approached Kingspan to design and develop an aesthetic and functional roof system for the station.

“KingZip Linea with its 65mm tall ribs and The Design manufactured from Aluminium Alloy Grade 3004 is certified for use down to a 1.5 degree incline had adequate flexibility to achieve the required curvatures The Architect’s design brief and specifications required the roof covering to be in a single length sheet, without end laps. Thermal transmittance values and acoustic performance of the roof relating to airborne sound transmission and rain impact of the barrel vault roof design of the project.“ were also stipulated. The project specification required Thermal Transmittance Value (U value) no higher than 0.5W/m2K and a Sound Transmission Class (STC) of at least 38dB. Kingspan was able to exceed both these requirements with our proposed Chong Park Cheong roof build-up. In addition to the acoustic and thermal performance requirements, as the structure being a public transport General Manager - South East Asia facility, the lining material had to meet Class O of the Building Standards, and must pass BS476 Part 6 & 7. The KingZip Linea Kingspan Insulated Panels roof layer and the steel decking layer meet these requirements exactly and is also accredited Class 1 Roof Panel as per FM Approvals Standard FM4471.

The Construction

Due to the fact that the station was being built on a live and operational track, LTA and SMRT implemented several measures to improve safety such as limiting major works to non-service hours, sheltering the tracks with a temporary enclosure during the construction of the roof and creating a full-scale mock-up of the station structure and roof to determine the safest process of construction. In order to meet the safety requirements, the production of KingZip Linea Aluminium Standing Seam roofing was carried out on-site after service hours of the live MRT track. Kingspan portable rollfromers and curving equipment were fitted into shipping containers and mounted on a Kingspan trailer which allowed onsite manufacturing and smooth curving of KingZip to the required radii. Manufactured KingZip Linea sheets were hoisted to the roof at early hours of the morning and late evenings. This process eliminated the logistical burden of transporting 45 tons of aluminium roofing sheets to the site by long trailers. Contact details
