\nA contract to design and install 5.5km of railway noise barriers under the third phase of the Land Transport Authority\u2019s (LTA) railway noise barrier programme has been awarded to PBT Engineering.
\nThe contract will cover 16 locations, which runs from Pasir Ris to Kembangan stations along the East-West Line, and from Jurong East to Khatib stations along the North-South Line.
\nOnce completed in 2023, LTA expects the noise barriers to reduce noise levels from passing trains by five to 10 decibels.
\nIt noted that the type of noise barriers to be installed depends on the tracks\u2019 profile and noise level.

\nNoise barriers at turnout sections, where trains switch tracks, \u201chave a semi-enclosed \u201cportal\u201d design to handle the higher noise levels, whereas those along plainline or straight tracks are vertical\u201d.
\nLTA explained that installing a portal noise barrier usually takes three times as long as vertical barriers due to the larger columns required.
\nIt also revealed that the installation of noise barriers has \u201cgained momentum due to the implementation of early closures and late openings for MRT stations along the NSEWL\u201d.
\n\u201cThe additional engineering hours have provided LTA and SMRT with more track access time for maintenance and improvement works, including the installation of noise barriers,\u201d it said.
\nPhase 1 was completed in 2018, while Phase 2 is expected to be completed by the third quarter of 2020. Installation works for Phase 3 is set to be completed in 2023.
\n\u201cPhase 3\u2019s completion in 2023 will bring the total length of railway noise barriers installed across the island to 27km,\u201d added LTA.
