Abstract/Summary

Since its independence in 1965, Singapore has seen unprecedented economic and social improvement, which has also been accompanied by physical growth through land reclamation. This rapid growth, coupled with the increasing cost of land reclamation and a desire to be a City in a Garden, has resulted in competing land-use requirements at the surface. Consequently, Singapore now looks to the subsurface to meet many of its future development needs. A comprehensive understanding of the geology has 15 therefore become critical to Singapore’s continued prosperity and future development. For the last decade, the British Geological Survey has been working with the Geological and Geospatial Development Department of Singapore’s Building and Construction Authority to implement a comprehensive urban geological survey and communicate the outcomes to the widest possible stakeholder community in Singapore. Activities within this programme of works included: desk study and literature review; deep borehole
