Challenge
Gamuda's reputation of expertise and innovation has
not come without its challenges. As more large-scale
projects coming into play in Malaysia, like the MRT
Line 2 project, Gamuda sought to be on the forefront
of new technologies to boost productivity and quality.
The MRT Project is a highly complex endeavor,
featuring both aboveground and underground
sections. The aboveground section (38.7 kilometers
in length) is into two phases. Below the surface, the
project requires extensive underground tunneling—
about 13 kilometres in length—and the construction of
11 underground stations.
The biggest roadblock the company faced was a
notable absence of effective data collection in the
field. "When I first joined, there wasn't a construction
document management system for a project this
size," said Tony Joseph, Gamuda's development lead
responsible for technology implementations and
oversight. "It was kind of shocking."
Permits, quality inspections, safety audits, defect
tracking, site diaries and other documentation were all
done with paper forms and tracking of documents and
processes was limited at best.
It was kind of a no-brainer in
making the decision to move
forward with Field View.
