SEVERAL HUGE infrastructure plans are set to be executed in Singapore in the coming years.
The expansion of Changi International Airport. The building of Changi East Airbase. The construction of North-South Expressway. The redevelopment of Paya Lebar Airbase into a sprawling residential, commercial and industrial township.
Such projects will require the laying of roads, amongst other things.
Specifically, for Ley Choon Group, they will require lots and lots of asphalt.
"The Group believes that these mega developments will provide substantial opportunities for its new plant to supply asphalt premix," said executive chairman and CEO Toh Choo Huat at the opening of its second asphalt recycling plant in Sungei Kadut last Friday.

Such projects will require the laying of roads, amongst other things.

"The Group believes that these mega developments will provide substantial opportunities for its new plant to supply asphalt premix," said executive chairman and CEO Toh Choo Huat at the opening of its second asphalt recycling plant in Sungei Kadut last Friday.
The plant is 45 metres tall and has a production capacity of 400 tons of asphalt per hour (equivalent to 25 loads of tipper truck), making it the largest single asphalt plant in Singapore, and possibly in Southeast Asia.
The new plant more than triples Ley Choon’s production capacity from 175 tons per hour to 575 tons per hour.
Besides the increase in production capacity, this plant employs state-of-the-art technology to enable it to recycle bitumen and aggregates up to 70%, far higher than the industry standard of 30% in Singapore.
Ley Choon also has set up a $2 million R&D centre to develop new asphalt formulate, increase the company’s recycling rate and improve its overall asphalt quality. The new R&D centre has created good jobs, as it employs 9 PMETs (professionals, managers, executives and technicians) for positions such as researcher, engineer and laboratory technician.
