SYNOPSIS

The Tun Razak Exchange, TRX is a 70-acre development in the heart of Kuala Lumpur for KL’s Future Ready Central Business District. The master plan includes a 10-acre public park, a total of 26 buildings and over 21 million sq. ft of total building Gross Floor Area (GFA) spread across offices, residential premises, hotels, retail outlets, F&B and cultural offerings. TRX, which sits at a point where Jalan Sultan Ismail (JSI) and Jalan Tun Razak (JTR) converge is served by a dedicated MRT interchange station. It is working with both ‘Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur (DBKL)’ and the Federal Government to upgrade and expand JTR for better traffic flow, ease of traffic movement with respect to ‘in and out’ at the upcoming financial district as well as direct connection to major expressways. The traffic dispersal system and improvement of roads around the vicinity including the TRX Ingress and Egress tunnel is a major component to ensure smooth traffic flow into and out of TRX.

Part of the TRX Ingress and Egress tunnel crosses below Jalan Tun Razak and SMART portal where forepoling tube umbrella system is adopted as temporary roof support for the tunnel construction instead of conventional open cut method of construction. The system comprises a series of 108mm diameter of forepoling tubes installed beneath both Jalan Tun Razak and SMART portal. As the tunnel is located in KL Limestone Formation, the construction of these tunnel has also to deal with karst features of the Formation.
