So many digging....I dont know whether the hdb will collapse or not. No doubt we have pump many deep deep pillars to built hdb, but the soil and granite deep inside can hold the thousands of tons of weight? -

Underwater Singapore just like Underwater World at sentosa would be great !

Why. No space? Nah. That is part of it.
The other half is, if you build a underground station, you can have CD shelter (So Sengkang, Punggol, Stevens was some of the exceptions), but if you build an aboveground station, you definitely cannot have CD shelter (Tell me which above ground MRT / LRT got CD shelter one).
I noe earlier got ppl wished that Bedok Resevoir / TSL to be above ground, but that impossible.
Reasons: Where in these 2 areas (Bedok Resvoir / North, areas along TSL especially Mandai / Thomson there) got CD shelter? Then why BLE / Tuas extension can above ground? Answer: Apart of distance, consider that Pioneer flats are mainly new flats = automatically every unit got 1 CD sheleter, and Tuas Extension all factories, who really go there? So, no need CD shelter = no need on underground.
some flats in Woodlands have CD
AMK West have none since was already some time before ...
Mandai is a bit ulu!
bedok north might have (not sure)

I see, thanks for the inputs, so for the Woodlands case ... is due to AMK West no CD, and most people wants TSL to be above ground should be on the Mandai / Thomson sector which is much nearer to AMK West compared to Woodlands (Mandai maybe exception, nearer to Woodlands).
By the way, they did also said that due to cost considerations, they did not build the BKE underground was also causing trouble (Read: Monkeys cross over to other side and kena knocked by drivers in BKE). The impact to the environment there is also "significant". I dont think they would repeat the same mistake again.
Mandai -- is not a bit but very ulu. (And I KNOW why there is no CD there, few people actually live there what!?. Its not a HDB estate anyway and residents of that area is basically a few terrace in donkey years ago.)

i was thinking of a WDMP
Woodlands Modification Project ...
since northern terminus is NS9/TS?? Woodlands
OR
NSL Platforms
NSL Concourse/Transfer area
Transfer Hall
TSL Concourse
TSL Platforms
... deepest station???
imagine the Bus interchange in the middle ...

can la. HDBs built underground we can build it just like umbrella corp. Then create man made sunlight. we'll be the first in the world to that.
by then we hit 50million people we can reach the earth's core...and that will be our natural resource.

- Can u create man-made sunlight?
- Can u live in earth's core- maybe we r roasted ;(

Both are possible.
1--bring the sun down.
2--won't.They'll bathe in liquid nitrogen. -

Provided if the topic here is changed to "how to survive in the earth's core'. :P
Even God (im not trying to be rude) may not survive in earth's core. -196 vs 1000+ degree- those who know how to survive may live there.

we will have a underground S'pore. the first on Earth -

more than 150m deep
as compared to Promenade ? 45m? it's so shallow -
The shallowest stn is Sengkang- need short esclator to get to L1. I believe there's no more stns more shallow than this, stns are getting deeper and deeper.
The shallowest SMRT stn is Newton, not Novena. -12m deep. Novena is below malls.
Perhaps forever, EW30 would be highest, as need space to provide additional platform.
I think River Valley to Jalan Besar would be deep, as need to go below CCL Bras Basah, which is 35m deep, Becoolen Mrt station dropping DEEPER. if Rochor 45m deep, Sungei Rd Mrt go below Rochor 40+m deep.
there's no such thing as 'forever is the deepest' stn. ERL and TSL may go even deeper.
-
I'm quite sure that the DTL passes over the CCL near Bras Basah instead of under, but I could be wrong.
-
maybe I m also wrong.But why must they built promenade so deep? at 43m ?

What about Punggol? Like Sengkang, the concourse is also on the surface level.I read an article before, it mentioned Novena is the shallowest on the NSEWL.

They are building the DTL under the CCL. That's why it is so deep. -
37: So CCL depth also got effect on DTL. My Guess: Bugis may also be quite deep. Why? Promenade 43m, DTL train like waterfall.
To add more trouble, Rochor could be 45m deep!
-
But according to wiki, Newton is currently shallowest!

But Punggol got Service Level, Sengkang don't have.

sometimes Wikipedia unreliable cos anyone can edit.

Then please let me see the article that Novena is shallowest lo. :)

on a side note, will we be digging into hell?

Not AGAIN! Back to our facts please!
