UK-headquartered 558 AMG Systems has supplied its AMG3700 series transmission solution for the integrated security and surveillance solution at the newly opened Woodsville Tunnel in Singapore. According to Sartah Bullock, the company’s international sales and marketing director, the CCTV surveillance solution for the tunnel complex is engineered to give maximum resilience and performance. The solution operates within a dual redundant configuration with video insertion points providing analogue video, data and Ethernet capability.

“The solution operates with two singlemode fibres in ring configuration,” Bullock explains. “The benefit of this system is that operations are robust and resilient and no signals are lost in case of a failure or a fibre breakage. All signals are routed to the main ITS centre (ITSC) control room as well as to the control room in the facility building on-site.”

The solution has been implemented by Singapore’s oldest engineering company, Guthrie Engineering on behalf of the Land Transportation Authority.

The Woodsville Tunnel, which opened for traffic at the end of January, 2012,  is part of a massive US$100 million upgrading project for the Woodsville Interchange that began in 2008, consisting of three new road tunnels. These are expected to significantly ease congestion and reduce commuter travel times, in some cases by half during peak hours.
