EPCC Contractor
Malaysia's first metro system - the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) Kajang Line, was handled from conceptualisation to completion by our joint venture MMC Gamuda.
Pioneering the first Project Delivery Partner (PDP) model in Malaysia by taking on a single point of accountability, Gamuda guaranteed the delivery of the elevated section to safety, quality, time and cost.
Featuring world-class metro facilities complete with sustainable, energy-efficient features, the MRT Kajang Line aim to serve a catchment of 1.2 million people, connecting passengers travelling between populated residential, commercial centres and key employment hubs in the Klang Valley.
The line has 29 stations spanning 42 kilometres, of which seven are underground. The world’s VD TBM was deployed for the underground portion of the alignment.
The VD TBM is a versatile solution designed for various tunnelling modes, featuring a unique ability to adjust slurry density for different ground conditions. Developed in response to challenges faced during the SMART project, the VD TBM achieved a remarkable 95 percent reduction in sinkhole incidents during the construction of the MRT Kajang Line, highlighting its effectiveness in ground control.
The MRT Kajang Line stands as a symbol of greater and more seamless urban connectivity in Malaysia.
