CASE HISTORY Ref: MM033 — Rev:00, February 2006 SLOPE EROSION PROTECTION KELANTAN - TERENGGANU, MALAYSIA HYDRAULIC & EROSION CONTROL Product: REINFORCED ENKAMAT Problem The Jabatan Kerja Raya (JKR) authorities decided to build a new road from Simpang Pulai - Lojing - Gua Musang - Kuala Berang. During the construction, cutting of the hill was necessary to gain the road’s design width. The slope was stabilized with soil nailing. Due to steep angle and heavy downpour, the slope surface was prone to erosive activities. Solution In order to solve the problem, Reinforced Enkamat was proposed and subsequently selected. It was the preferred solution due to its engineering ability in reducing surface runoff. It also helps to enhance vegetation, thus holding soil particles during vegetation growth. The combination of Reinforced Enkamat and vegetation acted as a thick blanket to prevent surface erosion. Additionally, it brings green life to the original slope where grass can re-grow. Before construction The economical benefit and ease of installation shows that Reinforced Enkamat stands out from the rest; and the end result bring out the effects as a natural and green slope without compromising its duty in engineering application.

Under the so called Perak Amanjaya Development Plan, some of the things that we have tried to do are the same things that I believe many others here are concerned about: first, balanced development and economic distribution between the urban and rural areas by focusing on developing small towns; second, poverty eradication regardless of race or religion so that no one remains on the fringes of society or is left behind economically; and, third, youth empowerment. Under the first one, the state identifies viable small- and medium-size companies which can operate from small towns. These companies are to be working closely with the state government to boost the economy of the respective areas.

Abstract: Engineering Geology of the Ipoh-Simpang Pulai-Gopeng Segments of the North-South Highway, Peninsular Malaysia
BERITA-BERITA PERSATUAN (NEWS OF THE SOCIETY) Chairman’s Lecture No. 19 Engineering geology of the Ipoh-Simpang Pulai-Gopeng segments of the North-South Highway, Peninsular Malaysia Tan Boon Kong 5 Mar 2014 Department of Geology, University of Malaya Chairman’s Lecture No. 19 entitled “Engineering Geology of the Ipoh-Simpang Pulai-Gopeng Segments of the North-South Highway, Peninsular Malaysia” was delivered by Sdr Tan Boon Kong on 5th March, 2014 at the Department of Geology, University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur. The Lecture covers the various rock slope problems associated with different lithologies encountered along the highway, namely limestone, granite and schist (Kinta Geology); and how these rock slope problems were overcome. Some post-construction incidents/failures were also discussed, and these include a major debris flow and the failure of an anchored cut-slope. Problematic colluvium was also addressed. The abstract for the Lecture is attached below. As usual, there was a lively Q&A session after the Lecture. Tan Boon Kong, Chairman, W/G on Engineering Geology, Hydrogeology & Environmental Geology Abstract: The Ipoh-Simpang Pulai-Gopeng segments of the North-South Highway in Peninsular Malaysia traverse various interesting geologic/rock formations, namely: limestone, granite, schist and colluvial deposits – basically Kinta Valley geology with its famous, picturesque limestone hills. The construction of the North-South Highway in this region encountered a slew of problems which are directly related to the nature of these rock formations and soil deposits. This paper discusses the engineering geologic problems encountered during the construction of the Highway, which, among others, include the following: a) Granite rock slope stability, b) Limestone hill slope stability, c) Stability of cut-slope in schist intruded by aplite dykes, d) The problematic colluvial deposits.

Chapter Existing Environment
B.B MINERALS (SG RAIA) SDN. BHD. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT CHAPTER 3 EXISTING ENVIRONMENT 3.1 INTRODUCTION This chapter shall look on physical environment of the Project site and its surrounding environment. The sources mainly from various published reports, authority data, articles and maps. Field works to determine the baseline values have also been undertaken for verification and confirmation purposes. 3.2 TOPOGRAPHY Topographical feature of extraction area on lot 177251 of the Project site is located in limestone hill area as northeast part of Gunung Lanno formation. The nearest prominent peak is Gunung Lanno (407 meter) about 500 meter southwest of the Project boundary. The Project site is generally consisting of undulated sloping limestone hill with elevation ranging from 80 meter to 200 meter above mean sea level (MSL). The contour relatively decline from north to south direction with limestone wall majority nearby of the boundaries except on east and part of north sections which is continued with attached hill formation. Flat land is very limited and just at toe of the limestone wall. The other lots for processing, stockpiles and administrative areas, the lands are totally under flat land formation. On the surrounding areas, topographical profile of the areas is relatively part of the same hill formation with north part of the hill currently developed by operating quarries. The flat land is available on vicinity of the surrounding limestone hills. At further distance, similar environment exist with another formation of limestone hills on the northeast and granite hills on the east. Generally, the regional topographical plan of the surrounding Project site is depicted in Figure 3-1.

The Genesis and Characteristics of Primary Kaolinitic Clay Occurrence at Bukit Lampas, Simpang Pulai, Ipoh
Bulletin of the Geological Society of Malaysia 54 (2008) 9 – 16 The genesis and characteristics of primary kaolinitic clay occurrence at Bukit Lampas, Simpang Pulai, Ipoh KAMAR SHAH ARIFFIN *, HARYATI ABDUL RAHMAN , HA S HIM HU ss IN & KAHIRUL ANWAR ABDUL HADI School of Materials and Mineral Resources Engineering Universiti Sains Malaysia, 14300 Nibong Tebal, Malaysia *E-mail address: [email protected] Abstract — The chemical, mineralogical and textural characteristics of the Lampas kaolin occurrence, near Simpang Pulai Ipoh and its genesis were investigated using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and differential thermal, thermo gravimetric, Fourier transform infra-red, X-ray fluorescence, energy dispersive X-ray and granulometric analyses. Properties including particle sizes, moisture content, LOI, chemical composition, plasticity, firing shrinkage, brightness/ whiteness and modulus of rupture were used to evaluate its potential as an industrial raw material. Field evidence supported by mineralogical and chemical analyses suggests that the Lampas kaolin is a product of both hydrothermal alteration and weathering of aplite, leucomicrogranite, pegmatites and medium to coarse-grained porphyritic granite. Numerous quartz-feldspar veins and stockworks, silicification and illite alteration (argillic zone) were evident and characterize the hydrothermal fluid influx system of the area. Kaolinite is the predominant clay mineral of the Lampas kaolin with subordinate quartz, feldspar and illite/muscovite. There is localized occurrence of halloysite. Widespread occurrence of red, orange, or brown more stable lateritic clay saprolite characterizes the near surface overburden. The alumina content of Lampas kaolin is generally between 28 and 34%. Impurities, particularly iron oxide is less than 0.2% and total alkali and titania account for less than 1%.
