Client Highlights
A few of Gamuda's recent project higlights:
• Work on the innovative Stormwater Management and Road Tunnel
(SMART) in Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur in which Gamuda's
own engineering division developed and executed a plan to merge
a stormwater diversion channel with a double-deck motorway in
a single tunnel, solving the capital city's draining/flood mitigation
and traffic problems.
• The stormwater tunnel project was also Malaysia's first-ever use
of a mixshield (slurry) tunnel boring machine (TBM), one of the
largest in South East Asia at that time at 13.21m diameter, which
received media attention from National Geographic.
• The conversion of 329 kilometres of the country's single-track rail
lines into double-track rail lines currently running the north-south
axis of Malaysia.
• Work on the country's Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) Line 2 project,an
approximately 50 kilometre rail line connecting the communities
of the greater Klang Valley traversing Sungai Buloh-Serdang and
Putrajaya, in which Gamuda deployed the variable density tunnel
boring machine, as the world's first machine with the capabilities
to not only drill into rock, but also soft grounds which permeate
the Kuala Lumpur region.
