SMRT Sleeper Replacement: Tireless work to keep project on track

I RECENTLY went on a night-time field trip to observe workers involved in the MRT sleeper replacement project, where timber sleepers are replaced with concrete ones.

The project will take years to complete, and the workers work from 11pm to 4am every day, including on weekends.

All the local and foreign workers are trained and undergo tests before they can work in the field, making them highly skilled.

I was amazed by how they worked together and focused on the task, no matter how hard it was. Time is of the essence as they have only a few hours to work each night before the start of the next day's train operations.

Because of their work throughout the night, MRT trains can run smoothly and safely. They deserve our thanks.
