If official announcement Friday morning, Thursday night should have water already

Plan A is not so easy bruh, dont put up too much hope, that river got almost zero visibility with buaya around, and need to see the river current as well. sweat.gif Even if they weld it successfully on time, no guarantee that there wont be another crack appeared instantly once they turn on the water.

It's the first time I see a work plan with only date, without time.

I feel they cant be sure as Plan B is not planned to complete this early, most likely rushing like mad cow day & night and so they dare not to put the exact time, at least they got 24hours to buffer if only date available lol

Kerja-kerja di Sungai Perai.
Plan A:
Pengapit di bahagian atas telah dipasang dan adalah diharapkan pemasangan pengapit di bahagian bawah pada petang ini juga berjalan dengan lancar.
Plan B:
Sebanyak 70 peratus kerja telah disiapkan dan pemasangan paip kedua akan dibuat pada hari ini. Adalah diharapkan semua berjalan lancar dan siap pada tempoh lebih awal.
Dalam pada itu, lori-lori tangki sedang dimobilisasi sepenuhnya demi keperluan mereka yang terjejas.

Plan A status
QUOTE
ketika ini, kerja-kerja mengapit semula bahagian atas paip sepanjang 1,350 milimeter (mm) telah siap dijalankan.

“Walau bagaimanapun, kerja mengapit semula bahagian bawah paip yang bocor tidak dapat dijalankan pada malam tadi disebabkan berlakunya fenomena air pasang dan surut.

“Namun begitu, keadaan air sungai pada hari ini dilihat dalam keadaan baik dan membolehkan kerja mengapit semula bahagian paip bocor dimulakan dan dijangka siap pada petang ini juga.

“Sekiranya berjalan lancar, bekalan air kepada 84 peratus daripada 120,000 pengguna yang terkesan terutama di bahagian Barat Daya dan sebahagian Timur Laut dapat disalurkan semula seawal pagi esok (26 Januari).


Plan B status
QUOTE
user posted image
kerja-kerja pemasangan dua paip lencongan 600mm merentasi Sungai Perai di bahagian permukaan sungai kini siap 70 peratus.

Satu daripada dua paip berkenaan telah berjaya dipasang berdekatan jambatan Ampang Jajar, dan kita jangkakan kerja-kerja pemasangan kedua-dua paip lencongan akan siap pada 27 Januari (Sabtu) ini berbanding jangkaan awal, 29 Januari 2024.

I'm afraid I am with him this time.
Think about it:
1) whole of DBD including the all important FTZ only depends on one WTP(from mainland some more) and one pipeline. Has PBA announced any backup plan?

2) undersea pipelines: any plan to run parallel/spare lines along first bridge in case the undersea line leaks?

3) 1350mm line leaks and they did not mention when it was last inspected and its mean time between failures (MTBF).
What other potential failures should we expect to bite us in the ass suddenly?

I get it that they inherit this legacy but a government cannot keep using "oh, we inherited it" as justification for doing nothing. If they already have a plan, announce it for goodness sake.
All these water interruptions will have impact on manufacturing industry and investor's confidence.

Interesting find, tq. It's comforting to know.

No issues when the 1st PTSP is eventually decommissioned (after 50 years of service).

Is this first set supposed to be decommissioned last year, since it's built in 1973? So we're left with 2 sets? Now, are these 2 sets complementing each other or act as backup for one another?

No idea, wish i have more time digging for more info, but im working right now biggrin.gif

Anyway for penang lang who wish to see update from this thread,

PBAPP WILL CONNECT NEW TEMPORARY PIPELINE ON 28th JAN (SUNDAY)

Sad sg ara noises, I also very worried our window might not be long enough to store water, if at all. After water operations resume, we always take 1 extra day to reach us. And while water cuts at 1130pm monday, we can expect majority upstream users to panic store, so most likely our water will be cut off even earlier

QUOTE(mushigen @ Jan 26 2024, 07:08 PM)
Indeed. First to lose water pressure, last to get back supply.

Pba fb latest update, Plan A clamping is done

I see they have new isolation valves for the 600mm stubs where they will tie-in the new lines. With the valves in place, why is there a need to down the main line to connect?

most likely shutting down water supply for disconnecting the main line, and since they both already readily "connected", the down time should be shorter.

Also, need to test rite? gradual increase pressure... inb4 kaboom once turn on because cant take the pressure or the welding is not done probably because of rushing LOL
