RECAP:

Kuala Lumpur All Ready to Drill Beneath Ground!

A remarkable journey at a remarkable time - Sep 2010 to Mar 2013.

1. The SBK MRT Line of Kuala Lumpur was first announced at the end of 2010 and went public in 2011.

2. The public responded and civil societies expressed their opinions. Several protests and dozens of lawsuits also happened.

3. Final alignment was finalised.

4. A MRT-initiated corporation and a project delivery partner were also formed. A master regulatory body began streamlining the processes and evaluating future MRT lines.

5. Land acquisition began and site preparation including the construction of temporary power stations and cement producers. A competency college to train engineers were also formed. More than 10,000 new workers were hired.

6. Ground works started by early 2012 as progessively more than 100 contracts were tendered and awarded subsquently.

7. As per Malaysia's orders, the tunnel-boring machines (TBM) started manufacturing in Germany.

8. By end of 2012, the MRT project has finalised its financing packages. The project is estimated to cost more than US$10 billion.

9. By end of 2012, the entire stretch of the MRT Line as well as the depots have begun construction. Several roads in the city were also re-aligned.

10. And by now 2013, we are preparing to drill underground. To be utilised by Siemens' rolling stock, the whole project with length of 51km and 31 stations will begin commercial usage by June 2017. But we hope to finish earlier than that and by then, MRT Line 2 and 3 would have been well-underway as well.

GET READY to drill underground Kuala Lumpur. The first TBM has arrived from Germany for assembly underground and boring is set to begin in May after trials.

Quote :

WORK on the underground portion of the Klang Valley Mass Rapid Transit (KVMRT) is progressing well with the successful lowering and fitting of the cutterhead for the first Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM).

The lowering of the 70tonne cutter- head, with a diametre of 6.7m, took place under a balmy afternoon sky from the ground surface of the Cochrane launch shaft, located near SK Perempuan Jalan Peel, Kuala Lumpur.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

The operation took an hour to complete even though the vertical distance was only 30m, or roughly the height of an 11-storey building. Viewed from another perspective, the gigantic crane needed close to two minutes just to lower the cutterhead by one metre.

The operation was a delicate one for the crane operator as there was not much space between the first segment of the TBM and the portal’s opening (the cutterhead has to squeeze through this gap without hitting either). At one point during the operation, the front side of the cutterhead passed by the steel portal door with only 0.5cm to spare.

MMC-Gamuda KVMRT (T) Sdn Bhd construction manager Ng Hau Wei said the lowering of the cutterhead was carried out after extensive planning to ensure smooth execution.

“The main part is in the planning, and we have a good team that ensured everything is neat and tidy.”

Getting ready: The TBM will start digging into the wall and make its way to the Pasar Rakyat station.
Project manager Gus Klados said he was satisfied with the level of competency displayed by the Malaysian team in lowering the cutterhead into the shaft.

“I derive great satisfaction when these men, many of whom worked on the Stormwater Management and Road Tunnel projects a few years ago, carry out their tasks well,” said Klados, who had worked with Ng and many young Malaysian engineers on the SMART project that was completed in 2007.

“The assembly of the TBM is according to schedule. We hope to launch the TBM ahead of schedule but that will depend on other factors,” he added.

When fully assembled, the TBM will be about 200m long.

The assembly and final testing of this TBM will most likely be completed by the end of next month, with boring scheduled to begin early May.

^^ Nice colour for the cutterhead. Not sure which machine this is. The orange and white one that has been assembled in Cochrane is machine S-774.

awsome!!! sayng aku tak dapat terlibat dgn projek ni...

makin meriah ler public transport,, makin panjang rangkaian MRT n LRT ni,, pastu boleh ler sambung sampai Klang n Putrajaya...

menuju KL Greater

kalau nak menuju status negara maju 2020 sistem pengangkutan awam kena class A gak.

kalo mentaliti msh tahap 3rd class... jgnla nak harap faciliti tahap 'A' camne pun akan jadi 'C'... ekekeke

Kalau ikut pemerhatian aku kat luar metropolis ni, rail transport (LRT) dah A dah.....masa Komuter mula operasi dulu pun A...bas aje yang tak dapat A...tapi tu pun pasal jalan sesak giler.

Tapi tengok stesen MRT KL Sentral tu jauh dari stesen sedia ada le...

mentaliti terhadap apa tu?

mrt ada dekat sunway x?

org kita ni masih kurang ajar taktahu nak Q ....bagilah org kuar dulu ni tak tunggu depan pintu macamana org nak kuar..

lagi satu salah LRT n Monorail iklan banyak kat stesyen tapi nak buat tanda supaya org beratur pun takada..org Malaysia ni susah sikit..

mentaliti kita masih kelas 3..kena orang asing pulak naik abis terlebih langgar jugak macam naik bas kat seberang Bakso dan naik ketepi kat India..

dia yang bagus masa org nak gi keje sama balik keje..sebab displin sikit org keje ofis lepas tu abis...pernah sekali wa nak turun KL Sentral ada pergi tunggu depan pintu dengan Beg gedebak besar baru balik dari jln2 oberC agaknya tapi mentaliti uuhhh.. wa langgar je lepas tu wa ckp BODOH lah ko ni..byk kali dah macam tu..
