Vimalatulasi Vetrivel (Civil Engineering, Class of 2008) is a principal project manager at the Land Transport Authority (LTA) and a founding member of the Association of Women in Construction Singapore (AWiCS).
She is also a mother of two whose confidence and aptitude are matched only by the scale of the infrastructure projects she manages, such as the construction of train stations on the Cross Island Line (CRL).
To ensure more women in the built environment have similar success stories, Vimalatulasi and three other notable women in the industry came together to establish AWiCS in 2019.
As one of the four founding members, Vimalatulasi said: “The selfish part of me wants to see more women in the built environment sector.” She also hopes the association will help reshape the perception of the construction industry as more than just concrete, steel and mud.
