Remember Singapore remember the good old daysAccording to Singapores geological map, the islands strongest rock formation is found at the Gombak Norite, where its rock is tested to be more than ten times stronger than concrete. Latest Tomtom Uk Map. During its heydays, there were nine quarries operated at Gombak Norite. The Bukit Timah granite formation, on the other hand, covers an area of 2. Woodlands and Sembawang to Bukit Batok. The rock formation in this vast region is about six times stronger than concrete. Gombak Norite also contains some rock formations that are millions of years old, although Singapores oldest rock is found at Pulau Tekongs Sajahat Formation, which is estimated to be 3.

It is here at Gombak Norite where the former Gammon, Seng Chew, Lian Hup and Poh Hin Quarries once operated. By 1. 98. 4, the Gammon Quarry was disused, and a year later, the authorities decided to convert it into a park. Hence, Little Guilin, with its tranquil lake and towering rock cliffs, was born, named after the famous natural granite formations in Guilin, China. Little Guilins highest point reaches 1. Singapore after Bukit Timah Hill, which is also a huge block of granite, standing at 1. The Little Guilin project was in charged by the Housing and Development Board HDB, which initially wanted the abandoned quarry to be filled and a road built over it. Tamil Short Films.

By then, the water filled quarry was one or two metres above the safe depth, and there were suggestions to lower the water level, but this would result in the water losing its shifting lights and sparkle. Hence, a low granite retaining wall was built at the edge of the quarry. In this way, visitors could be prevented from getting too close and falling into the waters while the water level could be retained. The second problem was more difficult in solving. As the land around the quarry slopes away from it, rainwater tends to flow away rather than into it. But HDBs engineering team in the end managed to locate a small quarry at a higher ground to supply Little Guilin with an adequate supply of fresh water. The development of Little Guilin was completed by the mid eighties. Part of Jalan Perang, a long narrow road that was once the only accessible way to Gammon Quarry, was rebuilt as Bukit Batok East Avenue 5. In 1. 99. 0, the Bukit Gombak Mass Rapid Transit MRT Station was opened, providing additional convenience to the new scenic spot. In the vicinity also lies the the former Seng Chew Granite Quarry, sitting on a small hill about 5. Little Guilin. Like the former Gammon Quarry, it was also previously accessible only by Jalan Perang. After its abandonment, rainwater filled it up and the former quarry became a lake. The development of Bukit Batok Town Park saw one side of the once heavily forested hill trimmed to become the contoured slopes today. A drainage system is also built to allow excessive water from Seng Chew Quarry, especially during the thunderstorms, to flow down along the slopes to the underground canals. Granite in Demand. A search with the Registry of Companies ROC shows that the company operating Seng Chew Quarry had existed from 1. The period between the fifties and seventies was indeed the golden era for local granite quarrying industry numerous quarry companies were set up in Singapore due to the increasing demand for granite, such as Koko, Malaya, Jurong, Lian Moh, Chih Yee, Asia, New Asia, Eng Kee, Lam Eng, Atlas and Gim Huat. In 1. 95. 0, there were calls to tap the granite resources at the Bukit Timah Hill. Approving the proposal would be disastrous, as sections of the hill would be blown up and its virgin forest destroyed. Fortunately, the government carried out a series of studies, assisted by an University of Malaya geologist, and concluded that the Mandai and Pulau Ubin quarries would be able to supply sufficient granite for Singapore for another hundred years. For the other existing Bukit Timah quarries, the Commission of Enquiry into Granite Resources and Nature Reserve recommended their closures to prevent their encroachment into the forest reserve. However, behind strong economic forces, their quarrying activities would continue until the late eighties. But by 1. 99. 5, the major Singapore Quarry, Hindhede Quarry and Gali Batu to dig for rocks in Malay Quarry had ceased in their operations and became part of the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve. Kampong Quarry. A small village called Kampong Quarry once flourished at Hindhede Road, near Bukit Timah Road 8th milestone. The Hindhede Granite Quarry had already been in existence when the village was built during the Japanese Occupation. The kampong, by the mid fifties, had expanded to about 2. Malay residents living in 2. As the village grew in size, it became sub divided into Kampong Quarry Bawah lower quarry village in Malay, Kampong Quarry Tengah middle quarry village and Kampong Quarry Hanyut lost quarry village. The name lost village was derived in the fifties, when the residents living there, many of them new settlers, had no occupation licenses and their houses were unnumbered. As a result, their village was not officially considered to be in existence. Life for the residents at Kampong Quarry was difficult, especially in the fifties and sixties. The community was basically a fringe railway settlement, and the settlers who arrived there were taking refuge from one thing or another. The small humble village had no market, cinema, clinic or primary and secondary schools. A religious school, though, was available for the children. Things would only improve for Kampong Quarry, as common amenities were added, in the seventies and eighties. The track to Kampong Quarry was full of potholes, which filled with water whenever it rained. Dozens of granite laden trucks plied daily past the village to Hindhede Quarry, stirring up a flurry of dust that polluted the houses. By the mid eighties, it was clear that the village would be affected by Bukit Timahs redevelopment. For many residents, the nights of drinking coffee and chit chatting under the coconut trees would soon be over. And so was the familiar sound of the siren warning twice a day, at 1. By the late eighties, Kampong Quarry was almost vacated, after most villagers had left and resettled at the HDB flats. Regulator Handbook more. Ubins Quarries. Other than mainland Singapore, Pulau Ubin was another rich source of granite. Granite quarrying was once a major industry on the island, supporting Singapores construction sector and providing ample employment opportunities for the locals. There were once five quarries at Pulau Ubin the Kekek Quarry, Balai Quarry, Ubin Quarry, Pekan Quarry and Ketam Quarry. The islands first quarrying might have started as early as the 1. It was reported that about 3,3. Pulau Ubin to mainland Singapore in 1.
