Singapore Waste Management Photography, Tuas to Semakau
Industrial Photographer Singapore for National Environment Agency Waste Management
Industrial photographer Singapore, NEA commission: the National Environment Agency asked Tuckys Photography to follow the country’s waste end to end, from the moment it arrives to the moment it goes into the sea. Household refuse enters the bunker at the Tuas South Incineration Plant, held below atmospheric pressure so the smell cannot escape. Crane operators feed the incinerators from air-conditioned cabs, with duplicate cranes and hoppers so the line keeps running through maintenance. What remains leaves by barge, covered so nothing blows away on the crossing. It then ends in the cells at Semakau Landfill, inside a seven-kilometre rock bund. The industrial photography here covers the whole procedure, on the plant floor, from the deck of the refuse tug and from the air.
Photographs from this series by Tuckys Photography, a Singapore commercial industrial photographer, have been published by the National Environment Agency and in The Straits Times, and on the NEA website.
Waste Management System
Tuas South Incineration Plant collects all the household refuse in Singapore before burning it.
This refuse bunker collects all the daily refuse. The bunker runs below atmospheric pressure, so the smell cannot escape.
Crane operators sit in a safe air-conditioned room while feeding the refuse to the incinerators.
There are multiple cranes and hoppers so that during regular maintenance, the process keeps running.

As the tug approaches the Transfer Station it must line up with the entrance. Only then can it pick up the refuse barge.
Singapore Industrial Photographer at Pulau Semakau
An aerial photo by Tuckys Photography’s Industrial photographer while shooting the commissioned project at Pulau Semakau in Singapore. The barge carries the ashes from the incinerator. Hence the barge carries a cover, so the wind cannot take the ashes during transport.
The extra-large dump truck transports the ashes from the barge to dump them into the landfill cell.

The water treatment plant treats the landfill’s water before releasing it into the sea.
Semakau Landfill Aerial Photography with Industrial Photographer Singapore
Aerial view of Semakau landfill from the east with Bund 1 fully covered and vegetation growing. The UAV permit limits height in restricted airspace. Therefore, this image stitches together multiple shots to make the full frame.

A creative way to show the progress of Semakau Landfill with the NEA. A 360-degree angle lets Tuckys Photography, a Singapore commercial industrial photographer, capture the full view of the island. Consequently, there is no need to fly much higher.
