Malaysia and Singapore have announced the winners of key contracts for the showcase Kuala Lumpur – Singapore high speed rail link.

US engineering giant Aecom will provide engineering consultancy services such as advanced engineering studies as well as architecture, civil engineering and M&E services to the Singapore end of the line, including for the iconic Jurong East terminus. Meanwhile, a consortium of Canada’s WSP Parsons Brinckerhoff, Mott Mac Donald from the UK, and Ernst and Young have been awarded the contract to act as joint development partner.

Rail companies around the world are eager to be involved in the project which will see trains running at over 300km/h to cut the journey to just 90 minutes when construction is complete in 2026
