Proqio Expands to Singapore: Smarter Monitoring for Tunnels, Rail, and More

Proqio is now operating in Singapore, entering one of the world’s most demanding environments for infrastructure engineering, where dense urban networks, strict standards, and ambitious projects push the limits of geotechnical, structural, and environmental monitoring.

For Singapore’s engineers, designers, consultants, contractors, regulators, asset owners, and instrumentation providers, this means access to a platform designed for real-time data, traceable insights, and reliable workflows that match local conditions. We’re here to support infrastructure monitoring in Singapore with clarity and precision.

Why Singapore Matters?

Singapore stands out as a technically demanding environment for infrastructure development, combining space-constrained worksites, soft soils, and high environmental exposure. From transport to energy, and from utilities to underground networks, projects must be delivered with extreme precision and resilience.

Government institutions in Singapore set particularly high standards for instrumentation and monitoring, requiring traceability, documented follow-ups, and auditability across all critical infrastructure works. Environmental factors such as tropical rainfall, high humidity, and marine influence also put sensors and data systems to the test, making reliable monitoring technology essential from design to long-term asset management.

What Makes Singapore Unique

• Insistence on long‑life monitoring: Projects are not just built and forgotten. Many plans now embed sensors that work for decades to monitor tunnel deformation and structural integrity.

  
  

• BIM, digital twins, and shared data frameworks: Singapore is deploying digital twin efforts and frameworks like Green Mark Intelligence, which expect data from structural health, environmental sensors, and geotechnical instrumentation to feed into shared models.

  
  

• Highly constrained worksites: Soft marine clay, high water tables, limited access, overlapping utilities, and close proximity to existing infrastructure make monitoring critical in underground works.

  
  

• Strong regulatory, safety, and reporting obligations: Contracts include stringent instrumentation and monitoring requirements, ensuring traceability and compliance throughout construction.

Proqio’s Role

Proqio brings together geotechnical, structural and environmental data into one place so teams can work with confidence. We pull data from instruments, loggers, fibre‑optic sensors, survey and LiDAR sources and much more technologies. We bring together those inputs, apply analytics, deliver real‑time dashboards, alerts, trend analyses and collaborate across stakeholders.

Key capabilities include:

• Structural health monitoring: strain, deformation, settlement, vibration.

• Environmental baselining: groundwater, humidity, weather effects.

• Monitoring tunnelling works, excavation, utilities.

• Full audit trail: configuration history, sensor installation dates, roles and change control.

  
  

In Singapore, we see Proqio being used for:

• Monitoring works for MRT and rail infrastructure (new tunnels, station boxes).

• Subsea tunnels and large diameter pipe tunnels.

• Real‑time tracking of tunnel walls and deformation.

• Monitoring adjacent structures/buildings during works in constrained zones.

By combining real‑time data and traceable workflows, Proqio helps engineers and asset owners spot risks sooner, document performance, and respond without delay.

What’s Next

Having stepped into Singapore, our immediate priorities are:

• Scaling use cases in complex works like urban dig-downs and subsea tunnel segments.

• Expanding training and onboarding programs for local teams and monitoring partners.

• Contributing to technical discussions around smart monitoring, risk-based design, and digital transformation in civil infrastructure.

• Participating in industry events and technical forums to engage with the local tunneling and infrastructure community.

If you are working on tunnels, MRT, railway expansion, water projects, dig‑downs, or anything with geotechnical and environmental risk in Singapore, we would like to hear from you. We are here to collaborate, help, learn and deliver infrastructure monitoring that engineers trust.
