Overview

The conveyance system consists of 49km of deep tunnels and 49km of link sewers that create an interconnected network channeling used water by gravity to the Tuas Water Reclamation Plant.

Key Features

The DTSS Phase 2 conveyance system introduces several new designs that build upon the lessons learnt from the Phase 1 conveyance system. These include:

  • Tunnel isolation gates for easier maintenance
  • Improved tunnel lining for increased operations resilience
  • Air Flow Management system for better odour control

This is an overview of the used water flow management in DTSS 2 conveyance system.

Purpose-built air flow management systems improve the overall air quality along the DTSS sewer line.

When maintenance is required, the tunnel flow can be temporarily diverted to an alternative sewer line, allowing maintenance repair works to proceed.

A secondary tunnel lining improves the tunnel’s resilience to the corrosive used water environment, while fibre optic cables provide for real-time updates of the tunnel’s structural integrity.
