Water SecurityNEWater is Singapore’s flagship high-grade reclaimed water, supplying up to 40% of national needs. This new facility increases redundancy and provides capacity for future industrial demand.2. Resilient InfrastructureWith rapid population and industrial growth, expanding NEWater production capabilities is vital to ensuring continued reliability in water supply.3. Technological AdvancementThe project integrates: Advanced membrane filtration High-efficiency UV disinfection Automated monitoring systems 3D infrastructure modelling (Bentley i.dgn format provided in tender package)Economic ImpactThe SGD 205 million project is expected to contribute significantly to Singapore’s economy through1. Job Creation Engineering, construction, and technical jobs over the project span Increased demand for mechanical, civil, and M&E expertise Opportunities for BCA A2+ sub-contractors 2. Growth of Local Engineering SectorSANLI M&E Engineering’s involvement highlights Singapore’s strong domestic engineering capabilities and boosts Local SME participation Adoption of modern engineering technologies Skill development in water treatment innovation 3. Boost to Industrial ExpansionA reliable NEWater supply encourages High-tech manufacturing growth (wafer fabs, biopharma, chemical sectors) Increased investor confidence Reduced operational disruptions due to water reliability 4. Long-Term Savings for SingaporeHigher NEWater capacity reduces reliance on More expensive desalination processes Imported water In turn, this contributes to national cost stability and stronger long-term water independenceConclusionThe awarding of the Changi NEWater Facility 3 project to SANLI M&E ENGINEERING PTE. LTD. marks a major advancement in Singapore’s water strategy. With strong engineering capability, modern filtration technologies, and an investment of SGD 205 million, this project is set to enhance national resilience, support economic growth, and reinforce Singapore’s global reputation as a leader in water sustainability.#WaterInfrastructure #SingaporePUB #ChangiNEWaterFacility #NEWater #WaterReclamation #EngineeringProjects #ConstructionTender #ContractAward #SanliEngineering #MechanicalEngineering #BCASingapore#SustainableDevelopment #WaterSecurity #EnvironmentalInfrastructure #PublicUtilitiesBoard #SingaporeInfrastructure #MEEEngineering #CivilEngineering #SmartWaterMeter #EconomicImpact #TenderNews #InfrastructureDevelopment #WaterTechnology #GlobalTenders #FacilityDevelopment
