The Singapore Tuas Finger 3 landfill site was recognized for its achievements in changing the large caisson's 'concrete coating method', from manpower-based coating method using the existing elevation workbench to the coating method using the automation facility. This helped achieve productivity gains and better quality following a complete removal of safety accident related risks and workers’ exposure to toxic substances and the use of automation facility, resulting in Hyundai E&C receiving the awards.
