A 1.4km upstream section of Sungei Tampines from Tampines Avenue 7 to TPE has been upgraded to serve new HDB estates in Tampines North. Under the ABC Waters Programme, new features have been introduced along the waterway to enhance the overall liveability of the surrounding. Under the makeover, the concrete canal was transformed into a naturalised river with new recreation and community spaces for residents and enhanced connectivity to Tampines Eco Green.
Drainage Improvements: The existing 17m to 20m wide and 1.4km long waterway was widened up to 4.5m and deepened by 0.5m, to increase its capacity by 30% to convey more stormwater effectively. This greatly enhances flood protection in the surrounding area of Sungei Tampines waterway in the event of an intense rainstorm.
Enhancing the Living environment through ABC Waters: Sungei Tampines is the first PUB project to include an extensive stretch of naturalisation (about 1km) along one bank of the canal (at Tampines Eco Green), using soil bioengineering techniques similar to the project at the Kallang River – Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park, and at the canal base. The other bank is integrated seamlessly with a concrete cantilevered park connector adjacent to the nearby housing estates, along with lookout decks to bring the public closer to the waterway. Together with ABC Waters enhancements such as rain gardens and greening of the canal’s base, these features have created a vibrant and liveable space for all to enjoy.
