A sporting event these days is just not about what is happening on the field of play, or how well the players are doing on the court. A truly great sporting event is so much more than that. Sporting fans now look for an enriching and seamless experience, from the time their vehicles enter the facility, or when they step foot off from the public transportation, to the time they exit the venues. A stadium is no longer just about the seats and the pitch. There is a need for sporting facilities to evolve with the times, in the age of mobile ticketing, high-definition broadcast coverage, sports presentations with entertainment value, and the flourishing industry of sports marketing and sponsorship. Our neighbouring countries have already set in motion the construction of facilities that are of international standards, and Malaysia cannot be left behind. With the completion of the KL Sports City, which was rebranded from Kompleks Sukan Negara, we will have a hub to attract some of the biggest football clubs, events and entertainers in the world, and to give the fans and spectators an experience that they will never forget. The stadium and its surrounding areas, after being given a complete facelift, will be a construction and engineering marvel, and it will be nothing like what this country has ever seen. And I am truly delighted that it is featured in this edition of Construction+ Malaysia. Khairy Jamaluddin Minister of Youth and Sports Malaysia 3 Equinox_Aug_AXONE.pdf 1 7/3/2017 10:46:05 AM C M Y CM MY CY CMY K EDITOR’S LETTER Dear readers, This is the time of the year when we usually pause to reflect on where we are as a nation. It is also the time I remember a dear friend’s wise words, “If we want to stay together, we must always focus on the things that connect, not the things that divide.” Well, one thing that connects us is the new Klang Valley Mass Rail Transit (MRT) Line 1 (page 28), which opened in July. Linking Sungai Buloh and Kajang in 84 minutes, this 51-kilometre line was designed for integration with existing and future public transportation services, creating a much-needed seamless network for people to get around. It is also the first underground tunnelling and MRT project by a Malaysian team! Another thing that powerfully unites us is sports. At the stadium, there is no difference in race or creed—as long as you bleed red, white, blue and yellow, you are all on the same team. And with the newly completed KL Sports City (page 42), there are now several state-of-the-art sporting facilities in which you can yell your hearts out, whether at the Southeast Asian Games or the ASEAN Para Games or any future events. Indeed, no project is an island. In his commentary, William Harald-Wong (page 8) shares his thoughts on placemaking, culture and nature, and how public spaces should be designed to connect communities in a culturally engaging and inspiring manner. The ongoing works on the new Sarawak Museum (page 82) connects past to future, using contemporary design interpretations of the state’s cultural heritage and the latest technologies and standards in the preservation of priceless artefacts. Read about these projects and many more in this issue of Construction+. We have a diverse line-up that mirrors the multifaceted society in Malaysia and showcases the ideas and innovations that have gone into connecting people with each other and their surroundings. Yes, there are many things that connect us. So happy reading, and let’s fly that flag and have a memorable National Day and Malaysia Day! Share your thoughts with us via [email protected].

  • Pipe Roofing Installation by Micro Tunneling Method
    FEATURE Pipe Roofing Installation by Micro Tunneling Method Mr. Ivan Leong ABSTRACT This article described the process of installing the pipe rooing structure for Maluri underground KVMRT station Entrance A. The pipe roof was constructed using 780mm diameter steel pipes of 10mm thickness, installed via pipe jacking method using a Micro Tunnel Boring Machine (MTBM). The use of a separation plant for slurry treatment was suitable, given the site conditions and greatly improved productivity of the pipe jacking machine in the silty ground condition. The journal described why a pipe roof structure was needed and how it was constructed. The various safety measures and precautions taken were also covered herewith. he southern most KVMRT underground station, Maluri Station, is located under busy Jalan Cheras. It has 4 entrances: Entrance A to cater to customers going to Aeon Maluri, Entrance B leading Tto the housing estate, Entrance C to allow for passenger connection between the KVMRT line and the existing Ampang STAR line and Entrance D for the park and ride service located adjacent to the station. Of all the entrances, the construction of Entrance A posed The electrical cables served as the main source of supply to the greatest challenge. This was due to the existence of utilities the Bukit Bintang region. buried under that section of Jalan Cheras between Entrance Due to these constraints, a different construction A and the Maluri station box. These included telco lines, a approach was required, one that would not affect the 600mm SYABAS water pipe, and most importantly, 275 kV utilities and the live trafic during the construction of the adit Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) high voltage electrical cables.

ABSTRACT Kuala Lumpur Limestone formation exhibits karstic features with irregular bedrock profiles and variable weathering condition. The Klang Valley Mass Rapid Transit (KVMRT) SBK Line project is the first Mass Rapid Transit project in Malaysia. There are three underground stations namely Tun Razak Exchange (TRX) station, Cochrane Station and Maluri Station located in Kuala Lumpur limestone formation. TRX Station is the deepest station with maximum excavation depth of 45m below ground and also one of the underground interchange stations for future line. Cochrane Station with maximum excavation depth of 32m below ground also serves as launching shaft for the tunnel boring machine from both ends of the station. Maluri Station with maximum excavation depth of 20m below ground includes an underground train crossover as operational requirement. A technically appropriate and cost effective temporary earth retaining system suitable for the challenging geological formation using secant pile wall supported by temporary ground anchors or temporary strutting was adopted.

The KVMRT Project when completed will cover a distance of 51km and comprises of 31 passenger stations. This paper covers the challenges in design and construction of deep excavation works for three underground stations, namely Tun Razak Exchange (TRX) station, Cochrane Station and Maluri Station, as well as one portal (South Portal) all located in Kuala Lumpur limestone formation. The Kuala Lumpur Limestone formation exhibits notorious karstic features with irregular bedrock profiles, variable weathering condition, cavities and slime zones. This paper presents the design principles of temporary earth retaining system together with vertical rock excavation to the final depth of the station in karstic limestone formation. The unique experience (design and construction) gained from this project will be a useful reference for similar excavation works, especially in karstic limestone formation.
