Synopsis: The Klang Valley Mass Rapid Transit
(KVMRT) System is set to be one of the most important and largest transport
infrastructure projects Malaysia has embarked on. This project is listed
as an Entry Point Project (EPP) under the Economic Transformation Programme’s
Greater Kuala Lumpur/Klang Valley National Key Economic Areas (NKEA), and will
provide a major boost in the integration and efficiency of urban public
transport. The KVMRT project will see the construction of three MRT lines;
MRT Line 1, MRT Line 2 and MRT Line 3. The MRT Line 1 begins
from Sungai Buloh and runs through the city centre of Kuala
Lumpur before ending in Kajang, spanning 51 km with a total of 31
stations along its route. It will feature both elevated and underground
stations and is expected to run at a frequency of 3.5 minutes. The Government has allocated RM28 billion for the
implementation of the MRT Line 2 for the Sungai Buloh-Serdang-Putrajaya
link. The MRT Line 2 will serve a corridor with a population of around 2
million stretching from Sungai Buloh via Central Business District of
Kuala Lumpur to Bandar Malaysia, Kuchai Lama and Serdang before
ending at Putrajaya. The 52.2km line will include a 13.5km
underground section between Jalan Ipoh and Kuchai Lama and
38.7km of viaduct. There will be 37 stations, 26 of which will be elevated
with 11 underground stations. The stations will include
Sri Damansara, Kepong, Kampung Batu, Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah, Jalan Tun Razak,
KLCC, Tun Razak Exchange, Kuchai Lama,
Seri Kembangan and Cyberjaya. Objective of this Technical Visit is to
get some insight on the implementation of the project as well as
knowledge sharing in the planning, design and execution of the
project especially for our young engineers.The details of the proposed Technical Visit is
