Construction & Built Environment
Leading piling & foundation contractors in Singapore
Every building in Singapore starts underground, and the ground is difficult: soft marine clay, reclaimed land, and sites hemmed in by existing structures and rail tunnels. That makes foundation work a registered specialist trade — bored piling, driven piling, diaphragm walling and the earth-retaining and strutting systems that hold a deep excavation open while the basement is built. The piling and foundation contractors in Singapore below include the largest listed local group, the Singapore arms of the global specialist-foundation contractors, and the bored-pile and temporary-works specialists working beneath them. An unranked set from the Singapore Industry Index's record.
