I visited this project last year with different occasions. This project implemented by Department of Irrigation and Drainage Malaysia and estimate will complete by middle of year 2007.
The function of SMART Tunnel is to divert flood discharges from just below the Sg Klang/Sg Ampang confluence into the Holding Basin (Kg Berembang). A multiple-bay bell mouth Intake Structure diverts the flood discharge from the holding basin into bypass tunnel. The stormwater bypass tunnel of about 9.7 km in length conveys the flood flows to the Storage Pond (Taman Desa).
SMART Tunnel Concepts
Model of Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM)
Actual TBM on site
Ready to bore
After bored... It looks small from top
When I went down, I was... WOW!!!
Construction of multiple-bay
View inside the tunnel
At the back of TBMI was walking almost 2 km inside the tunnel then only met the TBM. The feeling really different if we walk at the open space, I felt quite difficult to breath because of confine space inside the tunnel, the air flow is very limited.
Anyway, during the construction of tunnel, females are not allow to enter the tunnel, I don't know why, it not only apply at here but whole world too! They explained to me it's like some kind of jinx will happen if female go into the tunnel during the construction going on.

Posing on TBM...Am I look like Malaysia version of Phuah Chu Kang (PCK)? With yellow safety boots and safety helmet. LOL...

well i hope you guys got your drain volume computations right your tunnels looks pretty small or that wouldn't be smart at all..by the way when in hell will you guys finish that turtle project when i first came to malaysia 5 yrs ago you guys were already digging at the kampung pandan round about..HELLO its the last leg of 2006 and you guys have not finished digging yet....and before i forget have you guys or your so called smart engineers figure out where your drain basin is going to be? coz all you fellows will just realize it when its all done up...
i hope you guys have better foresight than those who planned your putra line they never considered the increase of commuters thats why they only place to box cars hahahahaha....boo boo boo
[lucifer]
thanks for dropping by and the comment...
Well, I'm not involve in this project at all. I do not know much about it. As I know the engineers who operate it all are foreigners. As we know KL is a land of lime stone, there are lots of cavities underground that we don't know, that's why lots of problems happen and it delayed a little bit. The initial schedule to complete this project was end of 2006 and will start operate middle or year 2007.
Maybe all of you will think this project is a wastage of public money. I agree with it too, I don't really agree to build this tunnel to solve the flood problems in KL city. But... look at this way, where got enough land to build more retention ponds to hold the rain water? Who did approved all the 'unplanned' development? Who polluted the rivers with all the rubbish?
Commuters? Hello... I'm totally not related with it.
[aceone]
That's out of my field... I just show the tunnel.
eh u sure u can post ka...not some secret meh...and KKNCCB why women cannot masuk??thier mother is not woman ka?
oppss please mind my french...terkeluar too fast hahahah BUT WHY WOMAN CANNOT MASUK????? HAHAHAH
from the pomelo farms to bungkus nasi lemak to rocky concerts to boobs and bangs now suddenly u appear in tunnel !
r r really one onot ?
btw tunnel can have blogger party onot ?wakakakekekakakkaa (that one ace lah not me ok !)
[simple american]
it only for light vehicles to use it. The diameter is equal to 3 storey height building. During flood they r not allow any cars to use it, the 2 decks of road tunnel will be closed and allow the flood water to flow into it.
[sasha]
y cannot? It already showed on Discovery Channel months ago. Don't ask me why no women are allow to go in during construction, that's their believe even for Mat Salleh. Last time Queen Elizabeth wanna visit one of the tunnel construction in Europe, but she was not allow to enter. They pantang it coz it may happen something disaster.
[tonixe]
haiyah... my blog is for crapping ma... so anything also can post up. Blogger party in the tunnel? LOL... I'll be the 1st person not to join.
need to pay toll or not?
point taken about commuters..it was just an analogy to compare the forsight (if any) of your city planners..oh well so just to say that malaysia can't be said by its neighbors that they dont have this thing they build from birth of thoughts....the unsmart tunnel..
about female well all welcome at my tunnel if they don't want you...i love exploring female tunnels to see if they got angels inside ;)
[frostier]
LOL... good theory u have.
[winn]
of coz need la... but I'm not gonna use it.
[lucifer]
u r right with the points. To me they doing it because of 'money matters' only.
I would like to exploring female tunnels too... got any intro ah? LOL...
I ter-watched some documentary abt TBM some time ago.. very cool I must say.. and looks very the dangeroussssss...
Eh, female kenot go down the tunnel? Wut la.. so supersitious wan.. sumore, gender discrimination leh!
Kidding la of course.. :D
Females can't go into the tunnels? What about the 302s? I am referring to the mixed/confused genders... Hmmm...
jinx? give me money I also dun want to go in...;p
sure got some pretty tunnels you may wanna explore all in KL Ken within the golden triangle..here is one cyndchong@yahoo.com 0166445078 sms first b4 you call ;) hehehe and caroldebra@gmail.com pretty playful ones so to speak...ey i aint pimping am just sharing useful information
U masuk itu tunnel tak ajak I pun.....
[_butt]
yah... really dangerous n risky, imagine if the tunnel structural failure during construction, u got no where to run. About female not allow to enter... this 'pantang' is practice by Mat Salleh, not by us.
[kurakat]
mixed/confuse genders? errr... that one I no idea lor, must ask them... kekeke
[mirror]
y dunwan? everyone wish to go in and have a look ma...
[lucifer]
wahhh!!! U really got the contacts?! I was just kidding only, anyway I'll just leave here and let those who interested to contact them ;)
[lan rambai]
haiyah... masa tu last minute dia orang call I pergi jadi jurugambar ma... lain kali ok?
[_butt]
its not a Mat Salleh, pantang thing, i know its a local superstition... it is also korean superstition
HEY!really meh?why female cannot go in?what if the engineer in charge is a female ler? how ler?
eh..u do look a bit like PCK with the yellow boots.HAHA
I said that is discrimination!!
Kenny, you look MUCH BETTER than PCK! At least you don't have a mole what~
Eh eh, one say Mat Salleh (Kenny) one say local pulak (lucifer).. which one la guys.. LOL
Then, got cover insurance or not? *touchwood*

[13th panda]

[lp]
yah... u r right
[nonnie]
i can stick a mole oso... LOL
[_butt]
German engineers told me that, so who is right? They did in Europe before and Queen Elizabeth II of UK wanna visit into the tunnel but disallow by them coz of the believe.
Sure got insurance cover.
[ah nel]
the tol will be outside before and after the tunnel.
[iwan]
I dunno about S'pore coz I never been there before.
[winn]
Wait next year when it officially open la... so u can write there ur own... LOL

i saw this at discovery channel in astro.
is say this is the 1st in the world.
and vry genius invention

eeee ....sexist!!!!!
:P
HEHEHE ya u really look like PCK from the pic...add in another mole and u r ready to go....
[mr.goober]
It has 3 level decks, bottom is for water, the other 2 decks are for traffic. When heavy rain happens, both traffic decks will be closed and let water to flow. Accident? it has emergency exit every 200m.
[ikanbilis]
hahaha... i wish i could :P
[pisang]
it's 1st in the world using this concept.
[pink cotton]
yah... no females during construction only, after can.
Really ah? kekeke, ok... i gonna be Malaysian PCK :P
Sorry Kenny man, I never know you are involved in construction industries
You are an engineer?
The construction site looks like a scene from James Bond where the villain is making some sort of super nuclear weapon to dominate the world.
The secret agent in yellow boots don't look too bad either..lol
one day, man will live inside the bowels of the earth.
[www.yenjai.net]
haha, so all the time u thought I'm in which field? Yes I'm an engineer but still waiting for the post.
[helen]
LOL... James Bond again... The yellow boots secret agent looks abit nerd hor? LOL
[las montanas]
yeah... everyone will...
kenny, you got me there.
I never thought about it, seriously.
Someone with so much of crazy ideas ... hmm.... can't think of any field which suits you, haha.
(no offense, ok? just a joke)
[www.yenjai.net]
hahaha, no worry... I also never think I sound like an engineer.
ah boy tak faham :(
Kenny Ng Chu Kang = your new name?
