Piling hit fiber optic cable

Asia Piling Co has been identified as the subcontractor responsible for striking critical underground fibre optic cables, triggering a 20-hour broadband outage on 18 April 2026 that affected more than 5,000 households across Singapore. On a project currently in design there is a fibre optic underbore around 7m deep and within 5m from the pile driving zone for a bridge over a river. Prestressed concrete piles will be driven to around 25m deep.
