SLM outsources the maintenance of its trains and tracks to SMRT, which has a team of 16 professionals on site at the Sentosa Express Depot.  The SMRT team undertakes routine preventive maintenance works, troubleshooting of minor issues as well as  repairs of the trains and tracks.  A technical team from SLM works closely with the SMRT team as well as the Sentosa Express’ Original Equipment Manufacturer, Hitachi Asia Limited, to undertake a range of regular inspections as well as procure and replace parts.
