MRT Station Construction Noise

[GoSASEagles]

Grateful if all you experienced Singaporeans and long time residents could comment on how severe the noise is near an underground MRT construction site. I'm considering a flat near the Holland Village site and need some advice. Pile driving involved in the construction of these stations? All and any information is greatly appreciated!!

Easy, move out and find a new place. Why complain? Not Happy? Leave the country!

Hi, generally, construction of underground stations does not require pile-driving since piles are intented for massive load-bearing, such as for medium-to-tall above-ground buildings. However, that doesn't mean that there won't be other types of irritation (dust, general noise, traffic congestion, semi-naked workers showering in broad daylight ). If you are considering buying a place, then it might be worth the pain, since the subsequent increase in the value of the place (due to proximity to MRT) should be significant. On the other hand, if you're going to rent then maybe think about somewhere else.

Dear Guest,

Why did you jump ugly on the OP? What about it offended you? Very, very unattractive. 8)

Nothing has to offend a troll, hell, they don't even bother to read the posts.

There's no accounting for ignorance.

Is this the same as hotel doors' banging ?

i am glad you guys picked up on that stupid reply and commented. Whoever wrote that reply either did not bother to actually read the question (which is hard to beleive as it was so short) OR has no idea how to speak english (which is also hard to beleive as the reply was written in perfect English) OR is a complete idiot with some sort of passive agressive complex that causes them to jump to stupid conclusion without actually engaging their brain - which seems the only logical conclusion.

I'm living quite near the future Holland MRT station, very very near it as the matter of fact. There is some construction noise no doubt, but the traffic noise from Holland Road meant that it wasn't ever a totally peaceful place anyway. All the barriers around make getting taxis a bit more difficult. However, it's a great tool for rent negotiations! Depends how fussy you are I guess.
