Tiong Seng was founded in 1959 through a partnership between Mr Pek Ah Tuan of Peck Tiong Choon and Mr Lee Tuan Chay of Song Hup Seng, who already shared close business ties. In its early years, the company focused on earthworks and excavation, taking on public sector projects vital to Singapore’s development. During the 1970s, Tiong Seng expanded into civil engineering, constructing roads, bridges, and sewage systems. By the 1980s, it handled major projects, including Gate 2 at Tanjong Pagar Terminal, schools, and HDB flats, evolving into a design-and-build construction firm.
