SYNOPSIS
The TBM Refurbishment Centre in Perak was set up by MMC Gamuda KVMRT (T) Sdn Bhd (MGKT) to refurbish the TBMs used in the KVMRT SBK Line Project to be deployed in the SSP Line or other future tunnelling projects. Partnering with Herrenknecht AG of Germany, the initiative will see the refurbishment, upgrading and modification of almost the entire fleet of TBMs deployed in SBK Line, enabling the transfer of TBM expertise and refurbishment technology to Malaysians. The refurbishment works will be conducted by a team of experienced local engineers, supervisors and trained tunnel crew from MGKT’s Tunnelling Training Academy (TTA) supervised by experts from Herrenknecht AG.
The setting up of a TBM refurbishment facility, which is first of its kind in Malaysia, is another major step towards grooming and retaining the local talent pool, as Malaysia move towards self-sufficiency in TBM works. The participants of this Technical Visit will have a chance to get real close to the TBMs and gain better insights of the functions and operation of the highly sophisticated EBP and Variable Density TBM.
NOTE: The visit is strictly limited to 30 participants registered on a first-come, first-served basis.
