Box 789, 0980 Manila, Philippines For more information on ADB, visit http:\\www.adb.org FOREWORD This report is one of a series of five commissioned by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to identify and recommend best practices to be followed and specific steps to be taken, by ADB’s developing member countries in order to encourage both private sector investment and competition in infrastructure development. The study was financed through a $600,000 regional technical assistance grant - RETA 5753: Developing Best Practices for Promoting Private Sector Investment in Infrastructure. This report focuses on the road sector; the other reports cover the power, water supply, airport and air traffic control, and port sectors. Transport is central to achieving prosperity and the quality of life, to which all countries aspire. Transport policy has pervasive impacts: on economic performance; on the shape and structure of human settlements through its impact upon physical development and economic structures; on the distribution of income; and on the environment. This report develops best practices for promoting private sector investment in the road sector. It defines the objectives of private sector participation, reviews experiences of private sector participation in Asia and elsewhere, examines the degree of success that has been achieved to date, and identifies the key issues that provide the basis for determining best practices.

  • Prospects for the Malaysia-China Kuantan Industrial Park and Kuantan Port
    16 May 2017 Prospects for the Malaysia-China Kuantan Industrial Park and Kuantan Port Industrial Co-operation under the Belt and Road Initiative In line with the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), trade co-operation between Malaysia and China has been strengthened by the countries jointly establishing two industrial parks – one in Kuantan in Malaysia, the other in Qinzhou in the Chinese region of Guangxi. Under the context of ‘Two Countries, Twin Parks’ [1], these industrial parks are intended to enhance the regional supply chain management and optimise the flow of trade and investment which runs between Malaysia and China. One of the chief aims of the BRI is to encourage countries along the BRI to improve investment and the ease of trade facilitation. To this end, the BRI attempts to improve the capability of customs clearances and the coordination of cross-border supervision. Malaysia is an important gateway for trade along the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road. At present, China and Malaysia are in the process of forming a cooperative ‘port alliance’, which seeks to fast- track trade flows by raising customs efficiency. It has been reported that, in addition to their contribution to trade cooperation, the new industrial parks could also serve as a testing ground for joint customs clearances between the two countries. Such a development might Location of MCKIP and CMQIP. contribute to the advancement of the strategic direction of regional trade facilitation under the BRI. The Malaysia-China Kuantan Industrial Park (MCKIP) is the first industrial park in Malaysia jointly developed by Malaysia and China, as well as the first to be accorded ‘National Park’ status.

ALJANABI*, ZAMRI CHIK, ANUAR KASA Department Civil and Structural Engineering, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Bangi, Selangor 43600, Malaysia *Corresponding Author: [email protected] Abstract To continue of the second phase of the East Coast Expressway between Kuantan and Kula Terengganu in Malaysia system innovative solution are required. In this new phase there are embankment region has been subjected to extensive soft clay soil. These comprise typically of clayey silts of very high water content and undrained shear strengths in the range of 8 to 11 kPa to depths of up to 8 m. To support an embankment, heights of up to 12 m were filled and thereafter Vibro Replacement treatment was carried out to treat the very soft soil. Extensive instrumentation using rod settlement gauges, inclinometers and piezometers were installed to monitor the performance of the Vibro Replacement treatment. This paper reports on aspects of design, installation and the measured results from the instrumentation scheme. Keywords: Ground improvement, Stone column, Highway embankment. 1. Introduction The project Lebuhraya Pantai Timur 2 (LPT2) is a continuation of the first phase of the East Coast Expressway (LPT1) between Karak to Jabor (in Kuantan state).
