Singapore's largest integrated construction, prefab hub opens
The Straits Times
|July 22, 2023
Facility is first of 6 such hubs here that can produce full range of parts for HDB projects
A new integrated construction and prefabrication hub (ICPH) - the largest in Singapore - will enable more precast building components to be made locally and potentially support upcoming Build-To-Order (BTO) projects across the island.
The HL-Sunway Prefab Hub can produce up to 100,000 cubic m of precast components per year, enough to complete about 17 blocks of flats, said Minister for National Development Desmond Lee at the opening ceremony on Friday.
It is the first of six such hubs here that can produce the full range of components used in Housing Board projects, such as prefabricated bathroom units, he added.
The facility in Punggol Barat Lane, which spans 3.8ha, is a joint venture by mainboard-listed Hong Leong Asia and Malaysia's Sunway Construction Group. Hong Leong Asia owns 51 per cent, and Sunway Construction Group 49 per cent.
The hub uses technology to automate the production of building components. One feature is an automated mesh fabrication system to produce welded steel bar mesh used to reinforce concrete.
