Since pictures were taken on 29th March 2010, up to date. progress had been made to several blocks of flats at the Arcadia.

1. For certain blocks an entire new floor had been installed.

2. Gable walls which are load-bearing, reinforce steel bars had to be fabricated first, the metal formwork installed, put in place and finally concreting work.

3. All non load bearing walls, together with metal window frames are pre-fabricated in the factory, deliver to site for installation.

4. At site some blocks are already on it's 4th storey. Those along Punggol Field are only at it's 2 storey level.

Since the beginning, we have been taking pictures from the direction of Punggol Field and Punggol Road. Those blocks are progressively built at the later stage, so they are at second, third and fourth levels.

Those fronting Punggol Central, started earlier are now at their six floor level. The whole project are expected to be completed by end February 2012.
