Posted on 27 Sep 2009 | Comments Off

JURONG Island, the centrepiece of Singapore’s petrochemical industry, is getting a major infrastructure upgrade.

A new barge terminal and a second road to the mainland to ease traffic congestion and improve logistics will be built by industrial landlord JTC.

These new projects are in addition to the ongoing construction of the billion-dollar underground Jurong Rock Cavern for storing petrochemicals and oils.

The additional infrastructure work was announced by JTC chairman Cedric Foo yesterday at a ceremony to mark the completion of Jurong Island’s 14-year land reclamation project.

The huge undertaking was finished ahead of its original intended target of 2030 to meet a surge in demand for development space.

Mr Foo told the media later that some companies had indicated that they would resume Jurong Island projects postponed because of the financial crisis now that the economy was looking up. Continue reading →

Fusionopolis is nothing like the large cold test bed that people often mistake scientific research centres to be

HUSHED laboratories, complex equipment and stern researchers in white coats – these are the stark images that most people associate with scientific research centres.

Fusionopolis ‘will provide an exceptional environment for the integration of working, living, playing and learning’, says JTC Corporation in its FY2008 annual report

Eating well

There is hardly a reason for anyone at Fusionopolis to go hungry when there are plenty of food and beverage outlets around.

For the daily dose of caffeine, there is Starbucks Coffee, Black Canyon Coffee or Ya Kun Toastwich (this Ya Kun outlet is said to be one of only two in Singapore which sells sandwiches).

There is also a wide variety of establishments catering to the Asian palette, from Koryo (Korean) Restaurant, Shin Nichi Japanese Restaurant to Fai Gor Hong Kong Cafe. Western food is available from Eighteen Chefs Trattoria, and patrons can catch jam sessions on some Tuesdays. Continue reading →
