With the news release “Tuas Nexus – Singapore’s First Integrated Water and Solid Waste Treatment Facility Begins Construction”, the National Environment Agency (NEA) (2020) claimed that the aim of the project is to recover any drop of water used. The used water solution system is formed by the Deep Tunnel Sewerage System (DTSS). It further explained that Tuas Water Reclamation Plant (Tuas WRP) can receive used water flows from two separate deep tunnels by gravity. One tunnel is used to transport domestic water, the other to convey commercial water of high strength. Sembcorp Architecture and Construction Pte. Ltd was assigned in March 2020 to construct the biosolids treatment facility for the plant. Hence, by the end of 2021, another seven-building tender valued at more than $1 billion will be launched. Finally, phase 2 of the DTSS project is also listed as, consisting 40 km of deep tunnels, 60 km of connection sewers, Tuas WRP, and the NEWater integrated factory.
In a small country like Singapore, NEA has been improving by recycling water in the most efficient manner. I strongly believe that they are moving towards a sustainable and future-proof country.
