Centre for Infrastructure and
Tunnel Engineering

Building Industry Competency and Competitiveness in Infrastructure and Tunnel Engineering

Established in partnership with Land Transport Authority (LTA), the Centre for Infrastructure and Tunnel Engineering (CITE) will serve as a platform for the civil engineering community to exchange and deepen their knowledge and skill sets in this field. The Centre will also conduct and facilitate applied research to augment safety standards in the design, construction, operation and maintenance of tunnels, and other civil engineering infrastructure.

What We Do

Advance the adoption of technology for transport infrastructure development including both aboveground and underground infrastructural works such as bridges, tunnels, substructures and underground structures in design, construction and maintenance.

Uplift knowledge and competencies in civil engineering.

Build an ecosystem to nurture young engineers and enable practising engineers to upgrade their skills in transport infrastructure & tunnel engineering.
