Infrastructure Observatory in Singapore

The Infrastructure Observatory organizes tours of factories and large-scale operations that underpin our society. Recent excursions have included the BlackStone Station power plant in Cambridge, the MTA’s Coney Island Yards, an expansive tank museum in Palo Alto, and a banana factory in Jalgaon, India that produces 3% of the world’s bananas.

If you happen to be anywhere near Malaysia on March 3, the newly founded Singapore chapter will be touring the Senoko Waste-to-Energy Plant. With an inflation-adjusted cost of $700 million, the plant occupies 7.5 hectares and burns 2,400 tonnes trash 24/7 producing 56 megawatts of electricity.
