happen to saw this on my way to the airport, it leads me to think about this awesome thread.

Thanks for your valuable update. Update from that part of Puchong is not easy to find

Around IOI Mall Puchong (20/11/2013)

Finally finally the pillars are up. I think the delay along Jalan Jengka SS 15/17 because the foundation needs more earthwork. They have like dug up the whole soil and then put it in a square perimeter steel sheet. I wonder what foundation is this? Any engineers can explain why this over bore piling like the ones in USJ area etc?

Should be for pile cap works I suppose. Usually within the square they would do the bored pile foundation works and then seal off with a concrete block. On top of this, the pier is constructed.

cool, thanks for the info. the ground must not be easy. first they have the static load test and then it took forever before can see some pillars..

Welcome..

Here's a video by MRT Corp to show the description visually.. While it is by MRT Corp, the method is similar..

"...ensuring number of existing traffic lanes is maintained and minimizing disruption of traffic flow."

number of lane is maintained but the width is reduced to half. disruption of traffic flow? no comment.
contractor has been paid/priced for the traffic diversion in their works but sadly it doesn't reflected in the final outputs.

Nothing has been dug up for 3 years since it was barricaded though. but anyway I would think they expect SS15 and USJ 1 to be heavy passenger traffic because the strength of the columns are pretty amazing cause the amount of steel bars and rebars... anyway i think the height of it is really cool

As mentioned, the video is by MRT Corp for the MRT project.. LRT Extension Project is by a different company - Prasarana so they will not operate the same way nor have the same guarantees as MRT Corp..

I am referring to MRT project package V4.

Kelana Jaya line extension update (Federal Highway / Subang Jaya KTM), 4th December 2013







Persiaran Jengka, Subang Jaya

Latest update on Ampang line extension by Bina Puri

http://www.binapuri.com.my/public/projects-ongoing.aspx

I think the portion Persiaran Puchong Perdana one is Binapuri. That one is slowwww.

That one is MRCB.

Bina Puri is from Sri Petaling to roughly Kinrara area.

Station is taking shape. I just can't wait. I wonder if the new stations they plan for 6 car trains?

As far as I was told, the length of each stations, whether it is Ampang line or Kelana Jaya line, correspond to the length of existing trains.

how then are they going to go from 4 car to a 6 car train when the needs arise? now from what i see the 4 cars are already stretch from end to end of the platform.

For Kelana Jaya line, there is no plan for longer trains, but there will be more trains, in even shorter intervals.
