About the Workshop
Interest in PPPs has grown rapidly in the last decade. In many developing
countries and emerging markets, Governments have made PPPs a priority
and thus established special PPP development units. The challenge however
remains that despite their desirability, PPPs are complicated to implement
and requires a set of skills and expertise which many Governments and
organisations lack.
This workshop will enable all stakeholders from both the public and private
sectors understand the underlying principles and guidelines of successful
PPP structuring. It is also designed to help achieve global competitiveness
through replicable PPP mechanisms that add value, as well as, meet social,
economic and environmental goals.
Also, advance your knowledge of PPP implementation strategies with various
tools and methodologies that improve efficiency and transparency of your
projects. Designed with interactive sessions throughout, this workshop will
provide a great learning platform and space for discussion.

Why you cannot miss this event
Railway development is the cornerstone to spur economies, therefore it is crucial
for Governments to step up their investment in this sector to augment socio-
economic growth. Rapid development in the rail sector along with the strategic
integration of different transport modes can contribute to significant growth and
improve productivity. All stakeholders need to better understand the challenges,
opportunities and risks related to railway investment to integrate technical and
managerial knowledge required for the effective implementation and execution of
large scale projects.
The 6th Annual Modern Railways will create a one stop platform for all stakeholders
to discuss and deliberate on the current challenges and brainstorm innovative ideas
by generating sustainable practices that are proven in the development of railway
infrastructure across the world. This highly-interactive and information packed
event will highlight case studies from some of the finest and at the same time
provide an excellent networking platform for the public sector, global professionals
and industry leaders who are involved with the growth, development, construction
and management of Railways.

Largest Underground Depot
SMRT Kim Chuan Depot - 4th August 2016
The SMRT Kim Chuan Depot is the largest underground train depot in the world.
The depot houses trains for the Circle Line. Equivalent to about 17 football fields,
the depot is about 17 metres underground to maximise the use of space. Capable
of stabling about 70 trains, SMRT Kim Chuan Depot is home to the Operation
Control Center that manages the trains along the Circle Line and has facilities for
storage for the vehicle fleet, preventive and corrective maintenance works and
system operations. The Depot Control Center, which runs the trains in Kim Chuan
Depot, is also located there.
During the construction of the Kim Chuan Depot, a total of 2.1 million cubic
metres of soil had to be excavated for its construction and 340,000 m³ of
concrete was used. Pre-cast concrete elements were extensively used in the
project for laboursaving consideration. A complex electrical supply system
has been implemented in the depot through 3 load centres via 200 sub main
and distribution boards. Due to the vast area, numerous fans were installed to
ventilate the depot and a comprehensive fire protection system.
