Electrician in Tuas
Tuas is an urban planning area located at the furthest coastal region in the western district in Singapore. The Tuas planning area is surrounded by the Western Water Catchment planning area towards the northern side, Pioneer New Town towards the eastern region, the Straits of Johor panning area towards the western region and also shares coastline boundary with the Western Islands planning area towards the eastern region.
Tuas planning and residential area was initially a swampland which was first cleared to create a squatter settlement before becoming a fishing village in the mid 20thcentury. In the early 1980s, Tuas land was reclaimed from a fishing village to pave the way for more industrial and residential development. Since Tuas was located far from major residential areas as well as the commercial district of the western coastal line in Singapore, it was selected as the site to undergo industrial development. The decision to pick Tuas was arrived at because it was close to other industrial areas such as the Jurong Industrial Estate. Currently, Tuas is ranked second to Jurong Island when it comes to the presence of heavy industries. An example of Singapore’s heavy industry located in Tuas is the Tuas Incinerator, a large scale diesel renewable plant that utilizes palm oil as feedstock.

The PSA expected to vacate its city terminals by 2027 and the Pasir Panjang Terminal by 2040 and move all its services to the Tuas Mega port that is currently under construction.
