INTEGRATED CONSTRUCTION PARK AT JURONG PORT
Housing construction facilities and resources near one another, the development of Integrated Construction Parks (ICPs) will boost construction production capabilities. It brings together key supply chain players in the construction industry and enables the clustering of similar economic activities in proximity, making it easier for them to collaborate, as well as share resources and facilities. Singapore's first ICP at Jurong Port (JP) is taking shape!
The components that make up JP's ICP are:
CEMENT TERMINAL
Jurong Port operates the world's largest common user cement terminal, handling more than 90% of Singapore's bulk cement imports and driving the local construction industry. Our terminals come fitted out with cutting edge infrastructure and equipment (e.g. high capacity discharge screw unloaders and covered air slide) to ensure a safe, efficient and environmentally-friendly way of discharging cement.
READY-MIXED CONCRETE ECOSYSTEM
The Ready-Mixed Concrete (RMC) Ecosystem is a one-of-a-kind facility that seamlessly merges the entire value chain from construction aggregates (sand and granite) discharge and storage to RMC batching and even truck washing with sludge recycling. By re-locating downstream activities next to the waterfront, the RMC Ecosystem enhances industrial productivity, reduces carbon emissions and optimises land use.
STEEL ECOSYSTEM
(UPCOMING)
The Steel Ecosystem is a high intensity steel storage yard that offers co-shared facilities to optimise storage of inventory in JP. It has the potential to host an adjacent steel fabrication plant to streamline and green the steel supply chain further. It will work in tandem with the existing Cement Terminal and RMC Ecosystem to orchestrate optimisation along and across the construction supply chains.
INTEGRATED CONSTRUCTION & PREFABRICATION HUB
(UPCOMING)
Having an Integrated Construction & Prefabrication Hub (ICPH) in close proximity to the RMC Ecosystem and upcoming Steel Ecosystem will eliminate the need for precaster tenants to set up their own dedicated concrete batching facilities and steel mesh fabrication systems. By leveraging on the construction ecosystems at JP (RMC, Steel and Cement), the manufacturing of precast components and modules could take place in the form of an efficient "assembly line" at JP. This will significantly reduce double handling, and land-take, as well as help to decarbonise the supply chain.
