Singapore’s First 3D Printed Concrete Bridge
On 31 March, the pilot structural tests for the scale model of Singapore’s first 3D-printed concrete bridge were successfully completed. The project is jointly developed by the Land Transport Authority (LTA), in collaboration with the Singapore Centre for 3D Printing (SC3DP), CES_Innovfab (a member of the Chip Eng Seng Group), Witteveen+Bos, and KW & Lee Consulting Engineers. The research team will evaluate the test results before moving on to the printing and construction of the full-scale bridge.
The prototype was developed following extensive research into advanced concrete materials and large-scale 3D printing techniques. It marks a significant step forward in applying additive manufacturing to infrastructure, demonstrating the potential of 3D concrete printing (3DCP) for structural applications in Singapore’s built environment. The full scale bridge is expected to span 10 metres in length and 5 metres in width and is targeted for completion by 2028. It will be installed across the Jurong River, connecting Jurong West and Tengah, and stands as a key milestone in Singapore’s push towards more innovative and sustainable construction methods. This achievement marks an important milestone for SC3DP’s Building & Construction team and for the broader adoption of 3D concrete printing in Singapore.
The project was presented by Land Transport Authority (LTA) and attracted significant media attention, including coverage by
