5 Current Practice of 3D Situation-Case Studies 5 CURRENT PRACTICE OF 3D SITUATION-CASE STUDIES 5.1 Introduction In chapter 4, three-dimensional (3D) aspects of current Malaysian property rights and cadastre were described. In order to illustrate the way 3D situations are currently registered and recognised in the Malaysian cadastral registration, six case studies in Malaysia which one case in Penang and five cases in Kuala Lumpur were selected. The purpose of the case studies is to show if current possibilities are sufficient in the National Land Code 1965 (Act 56), Strata Title Act 1985 (Act 318) and Building and Common Property (Maintenance and Management) Act 2007 (Act 663) or improvements are needed. All these case studies were selected because they represented few types of 3D situations problem that still occur in practice as well as their simplicity. All case studies are divided into dimension on, above and below surface for buildings, sky bridges, basement parking, utility transmission lines and transportation network. Lastly, the chapter will end with conclusions. 5.2 Dimension On, Above and Below Surface The main characteristics of building properties are that many parties are involved in the ownership of the building and its related construction with different functions. Building property very valuable, therefore it is important to register it clearly and unambiguously in cadastral registration. Meanwhile, infrastructure objects such as transmission lines and transportation network are objects that are necessary to transport electricity, vehicle and people. The main characteristics of infrastructure objects are the fact that they crossing other parcel boundaries. According to Stoter (2004), from a cadastral point of view, it is important to register the property rights of these building properties and infrastructure objects not only to know who the owner is but also to indicate who is responsible for the properties and objects in case of accident and damage. B3 5.2.1 Case Study 1: Prangin Mall and Kompleks Tun Abdul Razak in Penang Figure 5.1: Buildings, sky bridges and basement parking above and below public road Figure 5.1 shows a good example of a 3D situation (dimension above, on and below surface): buildings and sky bridges above and basement parking below a public road in Prangin Mall and Kompleks Tun Abdul Razak (KOMTAR). Prangin Mall is a popular shopping complex located right in the centre of Georgetown, Penang. It opened for business in the 2001. It is attached to KOMTAR and Pacific-KOMTAR via the sky bridges from level 2 and 3 which above public road, that is Lebuh Teik Soon and Jalan Ria respectively. The mall comprises six levels including a basement floor, two levels of basement parking and a further three levels of parking at the upper floors (See Figure 5.2). Figure 5.2: Location map of the buildings On the cadastral map (Figure 5.3), we can outline the building above ground surface and basement parking below surface level which located between Lot 398 and Lot 399 respectively below public road that is Lebuh Lintang. The arrows indicate the view position of the photos taken in Figure 5.1. Prangin Mall is the owner and has the recognised rights of common rights of the whole building and decided to subdivide the building into individual parcel. Meanwhile, Majlis Perbandaran Pulau Pinang, the local authority holds recognised rights of ownership on the public road that is Lebuh Lintang. However, Prangin Mall possesses unrecognised rights of ownership on the building and basement parking above and below public road. Figure 5.3: Cadastral map of the buildings, sky bridges and basement parking KOMTAR is Penang's tallest building located in the centre of Georgetown. The 65- storey tower is a 232 m (761 ft) twelve sided geometric block atop a four storeys podium. It is a multipurpose complex consisting of office and retail commercial space, transportation hub, recreation facilities and administrative offices for the Penang state government. It also serves as a symbol of order and stability for the town and the province. Part of the complex’s first phase podium block was completed in 1978 (See Figure 5.2). It's attached to Prangin Mall and Pacific KOMTAR via the sky bridges and building respectively from level 2 and 3 which above public road that is Lebuh Teik Soon. On the cadastral map (Figure 5.4), we can see the buildings and sky bridges above surface level which located between Lot 400 and Lot 389 as well as Lot 400 and Lot 398 respectively which above public road that is Lebuh Teik Soon. The arrows indicate the view position of the camera in Figure 5.1. The individual parcel owner has the recognised rights of common rights of the individual parcel in the building. On the other hand, Majlis Perbandaran Pulau Pinang, the local authority supposes to hold the recognised rights of ownership on the public road that is Lebuh Teik Soon. However, the public road that is part of Jalan Ria and Lebuh Teik Soon was surrender to the management corporation of KOMTAR in order to subdivision of the building. Figure 5.4: Cadastral map of the buildings and sky bridges 5.2.2 Case Study 2: Kuala Lumpur Sentral in Kuala Lumpur Kuala Lumpur Sentral is a multilevel public transport interchange. It is an exclusive urban centre built around Malaysia’s largest transit hub, corporate office towers and business suites, five star international hotels, luxury condominiums and a shopping mall offering global connectivity, excellent investment opportunities, business convenience and an international lifestyle. Its infrastructure supports six rail networks which consist of the KLIA Express Rail Link, KLIA Transit, RAPID KL (PUTRA LRT), KTM Komuter, KTM Intercity and KL Monorail Services. It spread over 72 acres of land bordered by Jalan Travers, Jalan Damansara and Jalan Tun Sambanthan, situated in the southwest of Kuala Lumpur City and just 1.5 kilometres from the central business district. Figure 5.5 and Figure 5.6 show the overview picture and location map of Kuala Lumpur Sentral phase development respectively. Figure 5.5: Overview picture of Kuala Lumpur Sentral phase development Figure 5.6: Location map of Kuala Lumpur Sentral phase development Kuala Lumpur Sentral is being developed by Kuala Lumpur Sentral Sdn. Bhd. This is a city-within-a city concept, providing a perfect live, work and leisure environment by dividing the office, condominium, shopping mall and railway station into common rights, and the establishment of public rights for the railway tracks. The use of common rights will be discussed in more detail in case study 4 and we will take a closer look at the public rights here. Public rights are right that entitles its holder to build and have building or construction on, above and below the surface owned by another. In the case of Kuala Lumpur Sentral, the holder of the public rights is entitled to build and own the station on the top of the railway platforms. On the other hand, the railway tracks and public roads are owned by other in private rights. The cadastral map of this is shown in Figure 5.7. The arrow indicates the position of the pictures taken in Figure 5.5. The railway tracks are on top of the public road which is erected on Lot xxx, the shopping centre is on the same floor and on top of the railway platforms on Lot xxx. Std Figure 5.7: Cadastral map of the building 5.2.3 Case Study 3: Underground complex in Kuala Lumpur Figure 5.8: Overview picture of Plaza Putra Figure 5.9: Location map of the building The Dataran Merdeka (Merdeka Square), a field fronting the Royal Selangor Club was extensively used for cricket, hockey, tennis and rugby matches until the mid- nineties when the whole area was rebuilt to accommodate an underground parking lot, shopping, restaurant and complex. Beneath the square is a food, leisure and entertainment complex known as Plaza Putra which contains a theatre, food court, restaurants and souvenir shop and car parking. Figure 5.8 and Figure 5.9 show the overview picture and location map of Plaza Putra respectively. On the cadastral map (Figure 5.10) we can see Merdeka Square that is Lot xxx was originally the cricket green and rugby field belonging to the Selangor Club, now called Royal Selangor Club. The field was reclaimed by Kuala Lumpur City Hall in 1987 which holds a recognised private rights of the field and developed into an underground shopping mall and car parking which owned by many individual proprietors with an unrecognised public rights. Although National Land Code 1965 (Act 56), in Section 92C and Section 92D allowed underground land under State land and alienated land being alienated, and also National Land Code (Underground Land) (Minimum Depth) Regulations 2006 had specified the minimum depth of underground land to be alienated, however, the underground land subdivision was still pending and sadly said currently the whole Plaza Putra was closed for reconstruction. CP Figure 5.10: Cadastral map of the building 5.2.4 Case Study 4: Utility transmission lines in Kuala Lumpur Figure 5.11: Picture of transmission lines above public road According to Ganesan and Sreejamole (2009), transmission line is a device designed to guide electrical energy from one point to another. It is used, for instance, to transfer the output energy of a transmitter to an antenna. A transmission line is also used to connect the transmitter and the antenna. The transmission line has a single purpose for both the transmitter and the antenna. This purpose is to transfer the energy output of the transmitter to the antenna with the least possible power loss.

  • 3D Property–Types of Rights
    3D PROPERTY–TYPES OF RIGHTS Tan Liat Choon Department of Survey and Mapping Malaysia Email: [email protected] Abstract The use of 3D property rights has become a common feature internationally and has existed for many years. The aim of this paper is to illustrate the way 3D situations are currently registered and recognised in the Malaysian Cadastral Registration. One situation in Penang and five in Kuala Lumpur were selected to illustrate representative situations in this paper. The purpose of the illustration is to investigate if the current cadastral laws and regulations under the National Land Code 1965 (Act 56), the Strata Title Act 1985 (Act 318) and the Building and Common Property (Maintenance and Management) Act 2007 (Act 663) are adequate, or if improvements are needed. All these models have been selected because of their simplicity, and also because they are representative of several types of problems associated with 3D properties. This study encompasses three property types, namely dimensions on-surface, above surface and below surface constructions (buildings, sky bridges, basement parking, utility transmission lines), and transportation networks. Keywords : Rights 1, 3D property 2, on surface 3, above-surface 4, below-surface 5 1 INTRODUCTION To present an overview of how 3D situations are presently registered in the Malaysian Cadastral Registration, six structural properties are selected as representative examples. 2 DIMENSIONS ON-SURFACE, ABOVE SURFACE AND BELOW SURFACE Buildings may be constructed to serve different owners who may have different functions in mind for the properties. Meanwhile, infrastructure objects such as transmission lines and transportation networks are entities that are necessary for the transportation of electricity, vehicle and people.

Several ongoing works are currently being conducted especially in the aspects of system technical performances including the rail bracket component and the sensitivity analyses on the various rail designs. Furthermore, the lightning surge study on railway electrification is significant due to the fact that only a handful of publications are available in this regard, especially on the fourth rail transit. For this reason, this paper presents a study on the electrical performance of a fourth rail Direct Current (DC) urban transit affected by an indirect lightning strike. The indirect lightning strike was modelled by means of the Rusck model and the sum of two Heidler functions. The simulations were carried out using the EMTP-RV software which included the performance comparison of polymer-insulated rail brackets, namely the Cast Epoxy (CE), the Cycloaliphatic Epoxy Citation: Abd Rahman, F.A.; Ab Kadir, M.Z.A.; Ungku Amirulddin, A (CEA), and the Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) together with the station arresters when subjected U.A.; Osman, M.
