Feature

What is ‘SMART’?

Description

Location

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Length

9.7 km (including a 4 km double deck motorway)

Diameter

13.2 m

Depth

20 m

Users

Light vehicles not exceeding 2 m in height

Operational Modes Holding Pond

Storage Reservoir

MODE 1: No Storm

Operating Speed

60 km/h

Ventilation

4 ventilation shafts

Safety

- Emergency Equipments - First Response Vehicles - Monitoring and Surveillance - Fire Exits and Emergency Phones

Storage Reservoir

Holding Pond

MAY: TBM “Splendid” commences activity

MODE 2: Minor Storm Storage Reservoir

NOV: SSP and Mott Macdonald are commissioned to help with design and engineering

Why? Fast economic and population growth • More congestion • Higher frequency and greater impact of floods

Property damage and loss of lives

Negative impact on socio-economic activities

JUN: After convincing PM, official contract is signed between government and Joint Venture

JAN: MMCGamuda receives official notice to proceed

Construction 2003-2007

SMART stands for Stormwater Management And Road Tunnel

Holding Pond

APR: Malaysian PM seeks proposals for a more effective solution to severe annual flooding. MMC-Gamuda Joint Venture formed

MAR: Orders for 2 slurry TBMs signed with Herrenknecht

SEP: TBM “Luck” commences activity

OCT: PM resigns. New PM questions high investment of project

DEC: Beginning of site investigation and research into KL geology

APR: After delays, TBM “Luck” finishes its tunnelling length

APR: TBM “Splendid” completes its target tunnelling length

DEC: TBM “Splendid” reaches first tunnelling milestone

Deterioration of the Capitalʼs image

MAY: Highway Tunnel opens to traffic JUN: Storm Management Tunnel Construction completed

Toll (per use) RM 2.00 (US$0.63)

Objectives: 1. Mitigating Floods! 2. Reducing Traffic Congestion

MODE 3: 2: Major Storm

• Unique and Innovative Dual-Concept

Cost-effectiveness

Communicate scope of project to public

Strong working methods: local/international links

Properly explore post-project requirements

damage and US$1.26 billion in traffic congestion

High level of safety management

Avoid setting unrealistic deadlines; uncertainty with tunnelling projects

!

• No major floods in area since opening in 2007

Knowledge learnt about ground under Kuala Lumpur

Avoid rushing into projects; have correct contracts in place

What’s Next? Thailand •

• Unexplored post-project cleaning and management

costs • Encouraging people to use cars and not public transport Kuala Lumpur transit usage already very low at c.16%

Emulates the technology of SMART Tunnel to channel rainwater surplus to refill its underground reserves Proposed Budget: US$ 3.5 billion

Indonesia • Public not given correct info on areas tunnel would protect. Tunnel only handles 45% of floodwater

• Reservoir water contamination caused by dirt, oil, chemicals from Tunnel

Jakarta SMART Tunnel to overcome flood problems and traffic congestions in the capital Estimated Cost: US$ 1.7 billion

Within Malaysia •

Using the same TBM technology to construct Mass Rapid Transit (Underground) in Greater Kuala Lumpur

Long-Term measures to build more floodwater retention ponds to divert water from one river to another
