I wonder why they can’t dig the canal much deeper or elevate the road.. maybe pros can share why even if this is a temporary flood, it really looks bad That stretch of bt timah default always flooded whenever heavy rain. Until now they still do not have solution for this. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
therock Supersonic January 12 Share January 12 That’s what I hope an engineer can help decipher.. is there no solution? im not an expert but say we double the depth of the canal? Ie increase flow drainage volume also check the flow and any clogged drainage along the stretch especially since there’s plenty of construction since it’s a landed enclave the flow should be better than a built up again so I’m puzzled Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call it a "Bukit", i.e. hill, high ground. But always flooded there Maybe some colonial cartographer's idea of a joke! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until now they still do not have solution for this. IMHO. Not sure which stretch. The possible solution has been KIV'ed. Some news information. Bukit Timah Canal upgrade completion pushed to 2026 to sync with green corridor works SINGAPORE – Completion of upgrading works for a 900m section of the Bukit Timah Canal will be delayed from 2024 to 2026 to align with the development of a green corridor in the same area, to minimise disruption. Dovetailing both projects would avoid prolonged traffic diversion along Bukit Timah Road, and the inconvenience it would pose for residents, motorists and business owners, Minister for Sustainability and the Environment Grace Fu told Parliament on Tuesday. National water agency PUB started work in 2019 to widen and deepen the stretch of Bukit Timah Canal from Rifle Range Road to Jalan Kampong Chantek to increase its rainwater capacity by 30 per cent. https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/politics/bukit-timah-canal-upgrade-completion-pushed-to-2026-to-sync-with-green-corridor-works Also more information on this thread. https://www.mse.gov.sg/latest-news/oral-reply-to-pq-on-drainage-improvement-at-bukit-timah-canal 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didu Turbocharged January 12 Share January 12 Flooding at Jalan Seaview on Jan 10 due to 'heavy rain coinciding with high tide': PUB A Quick Response Team (QRT) vehicle responded to the flooding along Jalan Seaview on Jan 10, 2025 The flooding that occurred along a stretch of Jalan Seaview on Friday (Jan 10) evening was due to "heavy rain coinciding with high tide", national water agency PUB said on Sunday. The rain due to the ongoing monsoon surge and a high tide of 2.8m "temporarily overwhelmed the adjacent canal and surrounding roadside drains", it said in a Facebook post. PUB had issued flood risk warnings for a few locations including Jalan Seaview, the junction of Mountbatten Road and Tanjong Katong South Road, as well as Jalan Pokok Serunai where the heavy rain resulted in high water levels in drains and canals. https://www.channelnewsasia.com/singapore/monsoon-surge-flooding-jalan-seaview-heavy-rain-high-tide-pub-4852436 1 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Properties in flood areas, make sure dont buy. Or less, shorten your life! There are some areas known to be low laying and prone to flooding. Over the years, they have addressed some but wonder why only some whilst others nothing much done. No budget? All budget spent building cycling lanes? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
