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.

Past Events
Successful Seminar co-organised by CITE and LTA in the Infrastructure Insights Series: Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete (SFRC) - Building Better Infrastructure
The much-anticipated second seminar in the Infrastructure Insights Series took place on 22 October 2024 and attracted 166 industry professionals, engineers, students and construction experts across the region. The seminar provided in-depth insights into the benefits and evolving applications of SFRC, along with valuable networking opportunities.
The seminar commenced with an opening address by the Guest-of-Honour, Mr Ng Lang, Chief Executive of Land Transport Authority. He emphasised the importance of innovation in construction, particularly as the industry has to adapt to more demanding structural requirements and sustainability goals.
The event concluded with a panel discussion chaired by Professor Chiew Sing Ping, during which participants had the opportunity to clarify issues directly with the experts and exchange ideas on future trends and applications of SFRC in the construction industry. Attendees expressed their appreciation for a well-structured seminar that delivered a wealth of information, real-world case studies, and ideas for practical applications of SFRC.
“Thank you, CITE, for organising this very beneficial and engaging seminar,” said one attendee, an industry professional from JIB Specialist Consultants.
“This seminar was quite impressive - the presentation content was well-prepared.” remarked an another attendee from R.J. Crocker Consultants.
The seminar’s success demonstrates the growing interest in CITE’s Infrastructure Insights Series and SFRC as an alternative solution to meet current and future construction challenges.
Investigation Infrastructure Insights: A Holistic and Practical Approach to Site Investigation, Geotechnical Reporting, and Determination of Design Parameters
Our short course on “Investigation Infrastructure Insights: A Holistic and Practical Approach to Site Investigation, Geotechnical Reporting, and Determination of Design Parameters” on 18 and 19 June 2024, has garnered an unprecedented level of interest and participation from industry professionals. This overwhelming response reflects the workshop's relevance and the high demand for the specialized knowledge it provides. Designed to address current industry challenges and trends, the workshop has attracted a diverse group of participants eager to enhance their skills and advance their careers. We are thrilled to see such enthusiasm and are committed to delivering exceptional value to all.
CITE Industry Engagement Workshop
The first CITE Industry Engagement Workshop was successfully convened on 24 June 2022.
The workshop brings together stakeholders from industry, and agencies to discuss on the key focus areas in the infrastructure and tunnel engineering sector.
The positive synergy between the groups help formulate strategies and set directions for the future in meeting challenges of ever-evolving infrastructure and tunnel developments.
