<strong>Aurecon strengthens foundation for growth with hiring of civil engineering expert in Singapore</strong>

Singapore – International design, engineering and advisory company Aurecon has appointed Adrian Yeung as its Technical Director, Civil for Singapore to deepen its civil engineering capability in the country.

According to the Building and Construction Authority, Singapore’s construction demand for 2023 is expected to remain strong, ranging between S$27 billion and S$32 billion. The public sector is slated to contribute about 60 per cent of that demand, amounting to between S$16 billion and S$19 billion, underpinned by Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) line construction (e.g. Cross Island Line and Jurong Region Line) and other infrastructure works.

With construction demand also projected to reach between S$25 billion and S$32 billion per year from 2024 to 2027, Aurecon sees huge potential to support the delivery of key infrastructure in Singapore over that period and beyond. The appointment of Adrian will strengthen Aurecon’s value proposition to pursue opportunities in the infrastructure spaceground and underground engineering, and rail and mass transit, complementing its Asia business growth strategy.
