Incident Involving a New Cable Car Line Undergoing Installation Works

At 1625 hrs, SCDF received a call informing that a cable car cabin undergoing installation works at a construction site had fell. SCDF resources were dispatched and arrived at site within 6 minutes.

There was no one on board the cabin that fell. No one was injured as a result of the fallen cabin.

There was a technical supervisor in another cabin which was unaffected. SCDF DART rescuers were on standby at the incident site. After a thorough assessment by the SCDF and on-site engineers, the unaffected cabin was moved safely to Imbiah station. A SCDF Paramedic assessed the technical supervisor and he did not require any medical assistance.

The existing Singapore cable car line is unaffected and remains in operation.
