Samsung C&T Corp was awarded a US$448 million deal to build a section of Singapore's Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) system: the Hougang interchange station and tunnels for the Cross Island Line.
It would be the city state's eighth MRT line.
According to Singapore's Land Transport Authority, the deal also includes the construction of additional and alteration works to the existing Hougang station along the North-East Line.
Samsung C&T will start constructing the Hougang station next week with passenger service expected to commence in 2030.
The company is also involved in constructing Caldecott and Marine Parade stations on the Thomson-East Coast Line, Xilin station on the Downtown Line 3 Extension, and some stretches of tunnels along the North-South Corridor.
