The U/G Stations are still under design so the renders are not what they will look like - btw the 1st section between Sungei Buloh & Semantan will open in December 2016; with the remainder of the line opening in July 2017.

CONSTRUCTION work for the V3 package of the MRT Sungai Buloh to Kajang project is expected to start this month from Dataran Sunway to Section 17 here.

Mass Rapid Transit Corporation Sdn Bhd (MRT Corp) chief executive officer Datuk Azhar Abdul Hamid said the work would be carried out by Mudajaya Corporation Bhd which was awarded the viaduct V3 package.

"The V3 viaduct work involves a 6km alignment and includes three MRT stations, namely, The Curve, 1Utama Shopping Centre and TTDI.

"The stations are expected to serve a large population in the area (more than 200,000 people) and will include both residential and commercial areas in Damansara Perdana, Bandar Utama and Damansara Kim.

"Mudajaya has vast experience in infrastructure work and was involved in the STAR LRT (now Ampang Line) and KLIA projects," he said, adding that the contract is worth RM816 million.

He said most of the work will be done on the road reserves.

"Nevertheless, we will engage building owners including 1Utama, especially during the construction stage, to ensure that potential disruptions are kept to a minimum," he said, adding that the project is expected to be completed in 2016.

MMC-Gamuda KVMRT (PDP) Sdn Bhd general manager Mohammad Amjad, who was also present, said the works include utilities installation, piling, and construction of the three stations.

"As there will be no lane closure, adjustments are being made on the existing roads. For instance, normal lanes which are 3.65 metre wide may need to be narrowed a bit to provide space for the work site.

"For us to do this, road widening on the left lane will be carried out so that it does not disrupt the traffic flow."

Also present was Mudajaya Group Bhd managing director and chief executive officer Anto Joseph.

MRT Corp rancang laluan alternatif untuk kurang kesesakan
14 Ogos 2012

PETALING JAYA - Mass Rapid Transit Corp Sdn Bhd (MRT Corp) akan membuka beberapa laluan alternatif di sepanjang jajaran MRT Sungai Buloh-Kajang sejauh 51km untuk mengurangkan kemungkinan berlaku ketidakselesaan kepada pengguna jalan raya ketika kerja pembinaan dilaksanakan.

Pengarah Komunikasi Strategik dan Perhubungan Awam MRT Corp Amir Mahmood Razak berkata langkah itu adalah sebahagian daripada perkara yang terkandung dalam pelan pengurusan lalu lintas MRT Corp apabila syarikat itu dan MMC Gamuda KVMRT (PDP) Sdn Bhd, rakan pelaksana projeknya, menjangka projek berkenaan berkemungkinan mengakibatkan berlaku kesesakan jalan raya.

"Setakat ini, sebanyak 13 laluan alternatif di lapan kawasan telah dikenal pasti di sepanjang jajaran MRT Sungai Buloh-Kajang MRT sejauh 51km," katanya kepada pemberita di Pusat Penerangan MRT di sini hari ini.

Mengenai kemajuan projek itu, beliau berkata tujuh daripada lapan pakej telah diserahkan kepada kontraktor dan kerja pembinaan sedang giat dilaksanakan

Kesesakan lalu lintas tidak dapat dielak daripada berlaku di beberapa lokasi di sepanjang jajaran itu pada bulan akan datang dan oleh itu, MRT Corp akan memastikan gangguan yang dijangka berlaku ini dapat diminimumkan dengan mengenal pasti laluan alternatif untuk membolehkan pengguna mengelak melalui kawasan pembinaan dan melakukan perjalanan dengan lancar, kata Amir.

"Pembukaan laluan alternatif bertujuan membolehkan pengguna mengelak daripada melalui kawasan pembinaan, bukan bertujuan mewujudkan laluan pintas bagi pemandu dan bukan juga merupakan kaedah untuk menyelesaikan sepenuhnya kesesakan lalu lintas.

"MRT Corp akan memaklumkan kepada orang ramai dari semasa ke semasa tentang laluan paling sesuai untuk mereka gunakan, terutama pada waktu puncak sebelah pagi dan petang," katanya.

Beliau berkata MRT Corp akan bekerjasama rapat dengan Suruhanjaya Pengangkutan Awam Darat (Spad), Syarikat Prasarana Negara Berhad, pakar lalu lintas dan pihak berkuasa tempatan untuk menyelesaikan masalah lalu lintas dan menggalakkan orang ramai menggunakan pengangkutan awam.

Ditanya tentang langkah yang akan diambil untuk mencegah pencemaran udara dan bunyi, beliau berkata MRT Corp akan memasang pemidang, jaring keselamatan pembinaan dan penghadang bunyi bising untuk mematuhi standard yang ditetapkan Jabatan Alam Sekitar.

"Kami juga akan menubuhkan sebuah Pasukan Respons Segera bagi setiap pakej, yang akan memberi respons segera terhadap sebarang kejadian yang tidak diduga," katanya.

Projek MRT Sungai Buloh-Kajang dijangka siap pada 2016.

Amir berkata orang ramai boleh mendapat maklumat lanjut tentang projek itu dengan melayari www.kvmrt.com.my, twitter @MRTMalaysia atau menghubungi MRT Hotline 1-800-82-6868.

Mereka juga boleh mengunjungi Pusat Penerangan MRT di Kota Damansara, Taman Tun Dr Ismail, KL Sentral, Kajang dan Bandar Tun Hussein Onn.

Eversendai in talks for MRT steel jobs

By Bernama

Wednesday, 15 August 2012 15:14





KUALA LUMPUR (Aug 15): Eversendai Corporation Bhd is talking to the awardees of the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) Sungai Buloh-Kajang Line to undertake some of the steel jobs dished out in the RM30 billion rail project.

Founder and chairman Datuk A K Nathan said there were immense opportunities for the steel fabricator to tap into as most of the MRT stations and all the depots would be built in steel.

Eversendai sedang berunding dapatkan kerja keluli MRT

15 Ogos 2012
KUALA LUMPUR - Eversendai Corporation Bhd kini sedang berunding dengan syarikat yang mendapat kontrak pembinaan Transit Pantas Massa (MRT) Laluan Sungai Buloh-Kajang bagi menawarkan kerja keluli yang diperolehi dari projek rel bernilai RM30 bilion itu.

Pengasas dan Pengerusi Datuk A.K. Nathan berkata wujud peluang yang besar bagi syarikat pemfabrikator keluli itu kerana kebanyakan stesen MRT dan kesemua depot akan dibina menggunakan keluli.

"Kami merasa positif mengenai prospek itu. Kami melihat peluang yang besar dalam skop keluli struktur," katanya kepada Bernama.

Nathan berkata, MRT, projek infrastruktur terbesar Malayia, akan melengkapi sasaran Eversendai untuk meningkatkan sumbangan perniagaan Malaysia terhadap perolehan keseluruhan kumpulan itu.

"Kini, sumbangan perniagaan Malaysia adalah kira-kira 6.3 peratus. Tahun ini, kami menjangka mencecah 8.0 peratus daripada perolehan kami."

"Kami telah menetapkan sasaran mencapai sekurang-kurangnya 12 hingga 15 peratus pada tahun depan. Projek MRT itu akan memainkan peranan yang besar jika kami dapat sesetengah kontrak itu," katanya.

Laluan MRT Sungai Buloh-Kajang, laluan rel pertama daripada tiga yang dicadangkan, adalah sepanjang 51 km dan mempunyai 31 stesen.

Projek itu telah dibahagikan kepada 85 pakej kerja dan 40 tender telah diberikan.

Selain MRT itu, anak syarikatnya, Shineversendai Engineering (M) Sdn Bhd, telah dilantik sebagai pembekal projek pengagihan bijih besi di Teluk Rubiah di Manjung, Perak, yang bernilai RM45.9 juta.

Baru-baru ini, syarikat itu dilantik sebagai subkontraktor utama bagi fabrikasi dan pemasangan struktur keluli bagi projek polihablur silikon Tokuyama Malaysia bernilai RM37.1 juta di Bintulu, Sarawak.

Selain membida projek baharu yang berkaitan perniagaan teras Eversendai, kontraktor pakar keluli struktur dan loji kuasa itu juga menjadi kontraktor utama bagi menara tinggi menggunakan struktur komposit di Malaysia.

"Kami telah mewujudkan peluang perniagaan baharu bagi kumpulan itu dengan membawa masuk inovasi menggunakan struktur komposit bagi bangunan tinggi.

"Eversendai telah berbincang dengan beberapa pemaju tempatan yang telah menunjukkan minat untuk menggunakan kaedah pembinaan inovasi sedemikian."

"Secara umumnya, orang ramai mempunyai persepsi bahawa komposit adalah kombinasi keluli dan konkrit dan merasakan bahawa keluli lebih mahal daripada konkrit.

"Sebenarnya, ia boleh dibuat perbandingan, tetapi secara umumnya, kita melihat manfaat menggunakan struktur komposit," katanya.

Nathan berkata Eversendai mendapat pendedahan melalui pelaksanaan banyak projek antarabangsa pembinaan struktur tinggi menggunakan struktur komposit dan "kini, kami membawa balik apa yang telah kami pelajari dari pelbagai projek di seberang laut ke dalam negara."

Nathan, yang menduduki tangga ke-27 di dalam Forbes 2012 Malaysia Top 40 Richest, dengan anggaran nilai bersih RM931.35 juta berkata Eversendai bersedia melabur kira-kira RM30 juta untuk mengembangkan kemudahan fabrikasinya di Rawang.

Syarikat itu merancang memindahkan seksyen mengecatnya ke satu kilang baharu sambil meningkatkan kapasiti fabrikasi sekarang di kilang semasa.

"Ia bukan sebahagian rancangannya, tetapi dengan mengambil kira kami bakal mendapat lebih banyak perniagaan di Malaysia, adalah sesuai untuk mempunyai kemudahan tambahan.

"Melalui kemudahan baharu itu, kami akan dapat meningkatkan perniagaan keseluruhan yang akhirnya akan membantu meningkatkan perolehan dan keuntungan," katanya.

Peralatan dan pembinaan bagi kilang baharu itu akan bernilai sehingga RM15 juta manakala bakinya akan digunakan untuk membeli tanah itu, katanya.

Keuntungan selepas cukai Eversendai meningkat kepada RM29.76 juta bagi suku pertama berakhir 31 Mac, 2012 berbanding dengan RM25.48 juta di dalam sukuan yang sama tahun lepas.

Perolehan juga meningkat kepada RM248.96 juta daripada RM207.85 juta.- Bernama

MRT Corp to face legal action

By S. PUSPADEVI and PRIYA MENON
newsdesk@thestar.com.my


Cause for concern: MRT Corp barricades have been put up along the Pinggir Zaaba road in Taman Tun Dr Ismail.



KUALA LUMPUR: Residents of Pinggir Zaaba in Taman Tun Dr Ismail, Kuala Lumpur, will be taking legal action against Mass Rapid Transit Corporation (MRT Corp) on the grounds that it has misled them into believing that residents will be compensated for the acquisition of their houses for the MRT project.

Resident Norliza Kamaruddin said a letter of intent had been hand-delivered to MRT Corp by their appointed counsel on Aug 16.

“We have been taken for a ride by MRT Corp as we were made to believe that they will compensate us accordingly for the acquisition of our houses.

“However, when the special compensation committee (SCC) rejected the acquisition plan on the basis that there was no legal requirement to do so and that it would create an unnecessary precedent for similar situations in the future, we had no choice but to resort to this,” Norliza said at a press conference held at her house in Pinggir Zaaba yesterday.
