TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the feasibility of building large unsupported rock caverns in central and northern Singapore by using the Bukit Timah granite underlaying central and Northern Singapore, which is of extremely good quality and suitable for the construction of large unsupported caverns.

TL;DR: In this paper, the potential uses of underground caverns such as shelter and recreational centre, water collection storage and treatment, sewage treatment, oil and gas storage, cold and dry storage, power station, underground pumped hydroelectric storage, military installation, and industrial waste repository in Singapore are discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, a computerized tool that is founded on a Geographical Information System (GIS) platform is needed to collect and analyse all of the factors that govern the selection of a cavern site.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered cavern schemes for crude oil storage and warehouse-shelter facilities and provided a net storage capacity of 800,000 m3, including civil construction, mechanical and electrical instrumentation, in the order of S$80-100 million.
