Kim Chuan Depot

Kim Chuan Depot

Kim Chuan Depot is a rail depot for the Mass Rapid Transit system in Singapore. The depot costs S$297 million to construct and houses the trains for the upcoming Circle and Downtown MRT lines. The depot will be fully underground, reaching a depth of 24 m at some points. It will provide stabling of the trains, maintenance and operational control of the line. The depot has a capacity for 78 trains (even though only 40 trains have been ordered for the line), and has an area of 100,000 m². The depot is located along Upper Paya Lebar Road and 2.1 million cubic metres of soil had to be excavated for its construction. An administration building with offices, a warehouse, a canteen and a 66 kilovolt substation will be located above the depot. The remaining 3 hectares of land left empty will be used for light industrial use with buildings on it up to 9 storeys high.
