Boustead Projects E&C, the wholly-owned subsidiary of Boustead Projects, has pleaded guilty to 10 charges under the Air Navigation Act (ANA).

The charges were in relation to the use of unmanned drones by Boustead Projects E&C at two of its construction sites in a bid to leverage on the use of technology to increase the efficiency and productivity of its operations, and to mitigate the disruptions caused by the pandemic.

At a hearing held by the State Courts of Singapore on March 28, Boustead Projects E&C pleaded guilty to four charges relating to operating an unmanned aircraft at the Kranji site without a class 1 activity permit in 2020.

Boustead Projects E&C pleaded guilty to another four charges for operating an unmanned aircraft at the Cleantech site without a class 1 activity permit in 2020, as well as two charges relating to the failure to operate an unmanned aircraft at the Cleantech site in 2020 in accordance with the class 1 activity permit granted to the company.

The unmanned aircrafts were operated on specific dates and timings that were not covered under the permits applied by Boustead Projects E&C.

Due to this, Boustead Projects E&C has been slapped with fines totalling $94,000 for the 10 charges.
