Case Study Rawang Bypass.Pub CASE HISTORY Ref: MM053 - Rev 00, March 2014 RENO ® MATTRESS RAWANG BYPASS (PHASE 2) RAWANG, SELANGOR , MALAYSIA CHANNEL LINING Product: RENO ® MATTRESS, MACTEX NON WOVEN GEOTEXTILE Problem This federal-funded project was approved by the State Government in 2005 aimed to divert the traffic volume from Kuala Lumpur to Serendah and vice versa from the con- gested Jalan Rawang. A new 2.6km elevated section at 60 meter height stretches along a new 16km highway which connects Templer Park to Sungai Choh. The construction of this new highway started in early 2009 and by September 2012, Phase 2 package was in construction. An existing channel has to be realigned to make way for the new highway and therefore, our solution is sought to mitigate erosion along the new channel. Solution The consultant proposed to use Reno ® Mattress for erosion protection with a layer of geotextile to prevent scouring underneath the Reno ® Mattress. The selection by the consultant was based on the product’s proven track records on channel lining application. Before construction Reno ® Mattress is a structure made of hexagonal double twisted steel woven wire mesh and divided into uniformly partitioned cells by internal diaphragms placed at each meter to create a multi cell unit. The cells are filled with stones to form a flexible, permeable and monolithic structure. The mesh used in Reno ® Mattress fabrication is made from heavily galvanized wire conforming to BS443 Standards and coated with Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) to provide protection against long term corrosion. It is also able to develop and integrate with the surrounding environment and permitting the preservation of nature. At the beginning of the installation works, a layer of geotextile filter MacTex MXC50 was laid underneath the Reno ® Mattress to prevent scouring. After the mattresses During construction were laced and arranged accordingly on a slope, rockfill sizes from 150mm to 200mm was laid manually into the mattress cells. After completion, the mattresses were covered by lids. Client: enforcewill Copyright. JABATAN KERJA RAYA MALAYSIA Main contractor: PANZANA ENTERPRISE SDN. BHD. Designer: ARUP JURURUNDING SDN. BHD.

  • Exploring Factors Influencing Recreational Participation at Templer Park, Selangor
    Proceedings of International Conference on Language, Education, Humanities &Social Sciences (i-LEdHS2021) EXPLORING FACTORS INFLUENCING RECREATIONAL PARTICIPATION AT TEMPLER PARK, SELANGOR Nawfal Kamarul Bahrain. Center of Studies for Park and Amenity Management, Faculty of Architecture, Planning and Surveying, Universiti Teknologi MARA Shah Alam [email protected] Nurul Akmaniza Mohd Nasir Center of Studies for Park and Amenity Management, Faculty of Architecture, Planning and Surveying, Universiti Teknologi MARA Shah Alam Abstract: Recreational activities are receiving much attention especially among urban communities. It is known that open green space is always capable of providing recreational opportunities to the local community. Templer Park, located between Rawang and Selayang, is seen as a strategic location to attract nearby communities from heavily populated areas to perform their recreational activities. However, the function of the park may be in doubt if the park has not successfully fulfilled the recreational needs and demands among local residents. Since more and more people are living in cities, Templer Park’s function as one of the most important green spaces in the state of Selangor must be understood because people’s interest for recreation activities is increasing too. Therefore, this study investigated the factors influencing participation in recreational activities at Templer Park. A total of 200 respondents were involved in this study by answering survey questionnaires regarding the factors that might contribute to their decision to choose Templer Park as a place for them to carry out recreational activities. Based on the data collected, this study found that the two main factors which put off respondents living nearby from coming to the park include being too busy with other chores and they thought that there was nothing interesting about the park that could attract them to go there.

    WTW Property Market 2004 CONTENTS CHAIRMAN’S FOREWORD 2004 MARKET DIRECTION KUALA LUMPUR & SELANGOR PENANG PERAK KEDAH & PERLIS JOHOR MALACCA NEGERI SEMBILAN PAHANG KELANTAN TERENGGANU SABAH & LABUAN SARAWAK PROFESSIONAL SERVICES WTW NETWORK PROFESSIONAL STAFF WTW Property Market 2004 CHAIRMAN’S FOREWORD We are happy to present our Property Market Report for 2004- a year of promise and expectation. The measure commonly applied in describing the state of the property market is the volume of transactions, in terms of numbers of sale and purchase, and in terms of the consideration realised. In that context, except for the residential sector, all other sectors continue to languish; a description that can be confidently said to prevail everywhere in the country except in the Klang Valley. Any forecast or statement of the property market outlook over the coming year/s based on Mohd Talhar Abdul Rahman this measure would rely almost totally on the consideration of the “tradeability” of the transacted units. Price movements and the number of transactions by themselves belie other critical elements which require deeper probing if the prevailing state of the market is regarded as unacceptable, and therefore requires correction. The market cannot correct itself, particularly when the so-called market-driven property market had during the last decade been afflicted with a fatal dose of supply-demand mismatch. It was not by being market-driven that the malaise developed. The root of it all was the overwhelming focus on “tradeability” of property, rather than on the “occupation” of property and its utility. Other factors merely compound the problem. What we have seen through the seven years post 1997 is the strength of the residential market.

  • Integrated Management of Malaysian Road Network Operations Through ITS Initiatives: Issues, Potentials and Challenges
    Integrated management of Malaysian road network operations through ITS Initiatives: issues, potentials and challenges Moazzem Hossain Malaysia University of Science and Technology (MUST) GL33, Kelana Square, Kelana Jaya, PJ 47301, Selangor, Malaysia [email protected] Abstract During the last twenty five years, rapid urbanization and industrialization have resulted considerable growth of Malaysian highway network. Apart from few specialized industrial zones, most of the industrial zones are established in close proximity of the urban areas in order to ensure the smooth supply of manpower especially for the dominating manufacturing sectors. This phenomenon resulted in a number of large regional units of transport demand base involving high private motorized trips and truck dependent freight trips. The growth of car and truck trips especially in the regions including sea ports is putting tremendous pressure on the capacity of these regions’s road network which cannot be subdued by only physical extension of the network which often proved to be costly also. As a result, a number of such regions e.g. Klang Valley, Penang and Johor Baru are experiencing the problems of congestion, accidents and air pollution on their highway network. In many developed countries integrated intelligent transport system (ITS) initiatives applied to these sorts of regional bases have been claimed to be successful in alleviating those problems in a cost-effective manner. This paper will investigate the issues related to such integrated application of ITS initiatives in Malaysia on a regional basis with particular focus on Klang Valley region. Starting from the basic ITS functionality, the paper will identify the potential focus areas such as data gathering, data communication among and across jurisdictions, System flexibility, smart use of alternative routes, public-private collaboration and integration of public-private agencies in terms of regional ITS operational needs.

  • Lat Ijok Tar Ex K in K Xpress Kuala Sway L Selan Links T Ngor Temp Ler's
    May 2, 2011 Latar Expressway links Templer’s Park to Ijok in Kuala Selangor The Kuala Lumpur-Kuala Selangor Expressway, or better known as Latar Expressway, which links Templer’s Park in Gombak with the Ijok township in Kuala Selangor has entered its final stage of development. The dual-carriageway expressway will provide road users an alternative to the present Jalan Sungai Buloh-Kuala Selangor road. According to a statement from the highway concessionaire Kuala Lumpur- Kuala Selangor Expressway Berhad, the 33km road is expected to provide a smoother drive that will take 18 minutes to travel from end to end. Near completion: The Latar Expressway stretcchhes over Jalan Bukit The project will provide convenient Besar Rotan near Ijok. access and link the townships of Kuala Selangor, Assam Jawa, Ijok, Batang Berjuntai, Kota Puteri, Puncak Alam, Shah Alam, Bukit Jelutong, Sungai Buloh, Kundang, Rawang and Selayang. To provide faster and easy access, particularly onto the existing Guthrie Corridor Expressway, PLUS North-South Expressway and the future West Coast Highway, there will be four interchanges — at Ijok, Puncak Alam, Kuang and Templer’s Park. Each side of the highway will also have three tolls as well as a rest and service area in Kundang. Other features on the expressway include the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS), CCTVs, Variable Message Signboards (VMS), traffic control devices, all-weatther road markers and telephones for emergency calls. ITS is the use of information and communication technologies to create a safer, more efficient transportation system for road userrs. This project’s 40-year concession was awarded to Kuala Lumpur-Kuala Selangor Expressway Berhad and began construction in October 2008.
