We designed alternative foundation system for a building over the existing SMART tunnel in KVMRT Line 2 project. The original design was bored pile with pile cap.

The site is underlying by limestone rock which was disturbed during construction of SMART tunnel. An cost-effective design using strip footing was proposed as an alternative to minimise the construction risk of bored piling work which is very near to the existing tunnel. The footing is generally placed on top of limestone rock. Pre-stressed transfer beams will then be constructed to transfer all the loads from the building above SMART tunnel onto the strip footings.

The construction is currently on-going at site.

We have been appointed by a Design & Build Contractor to provide the detailed design for a slope rehabilitation work project in LPT2, Terengganu.

The existing slope comprises of 9 to 13 berms with a maximum height of approximately 80m from the expressway level. Most of the drains are in poor conditions; they are cracked, spalled, broken or covered up by vegetation and siltation. There were numbers of gullies and scoured surface on slope berms and slope surface.

As the slope is large, the rehabilitation work is divided into 4 stages for implementation. For Stage 1 and 2, the loose cut slope surface will excavated away and then backfilled with well-compacted rock. The construction is currently on-going at site.

Our 1st innovative soldier pile system design using steel I-beam and sheet pile at one of our Johor project sites in Electrified Double Track project.

Excavation below ground level is required for construction of reinforced soil wall of approach bridge abutment. The total excavation depth is about 6.6m and located beside the existing road.

Finally, our building project in Sihanoukville had topping up at 21st floor. This is indeed a magnificent feat to us after 13 months of carrying out the engineering design in concurrent with the construction work at site. We faced uncountable design variations due to ever-changing architectural requirements and construction issues.

Nothing is impossible if we put our thought together in proper planning and effective implementation at all times!

Our building project in Sihanoukville, Cambodia has reached 16th floor now. Looking forward to achieve topping up at 21st floor within 2 months time.

Our 1st project in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah.

We design and supervise the post-tensioned (PT) piled raft foundation for one level basement building. Excavation depth reduced due to thinner PT piled raft slab compared to conventional pile cap and raft thickness.

Overall saving in time and cost as well as less complicated temporary earth lateral support system required.

This is our 1st overseas project in Cambodia. We have been appointed by the Owner to provide strengthening design for the 28-storey foundation system supported on bored piles.

The existing bored pile foundation work which had been completed by the design & build contractor unable to achieve the required proposed design pile working load during pile testings. About 50% pile cap were also completed at that time.

Here’s a look at the overall site condition when we first arrived at the site. Our journey begins…

Finally, the bridge protection work for the project last posted on 28 March 2018 had been completed. The final product is as shown in this photo.

It was a real challenge for the Contractor during the construction as the river water rises rapidly during heavy rainfall. The excavator needs to move out from the river before the rain comes.

All done now and the bridge will be well protected for many years to come!

This is the row of contiguous bored pile constructed in the bridge protection work project posted on 1 July 2017. It is 450mm diameter and socketted into limestone rock. Total pile length is between 8m and 11m.

We were appointed to carry out alternative foundation system of bridges for one of the packages in DASH project near Sungai Buloh.

The original proposed foundation system is supported on bored pile. A cost-effective and faster construction time of foundation system was proposed after studying the designer’s requirements, bridge loadings and soil condition. The new foundation system consists of prestressed spun pile with pre-boring.

Here’s a look on the bridge construction after completion of the alternative foundation work.
