TRANSIT EXCELLENCE IN KUALA LUMPUR A CASE STUDY

The Kuala Lumpur LRT-2 is a 29.4 km, 29-station light rail system, constructed between 1995 and 2000. SNC-Lavalin played a key role in designing and building the system.

Special Achievements:

Innovative design and construction management for design-build of electrical and mechanical systems:

• trained 500 local construction workers
• established and operated concrete pre-casting plant
• incorporated a pre-cast track slab, which resulted in precise tolerance control, significant reduction of the project's overall schedule and installation of LIM rail at an average rate of 200 track metres per day
• accelerated the main LRT-2 contract schedule by one year and provided significant cost savings

Awarded four additional design-build contracts for civil infrastructure:

• 29.4 km pre-cast cabletray and walkway
• 500-metre portal and transition tunnel
• Kampung Baru Underground Station
• Ampang Park Underground Station

Revised geometry and construction methods for the 500-metre transition tunnel, within a difficult profile located between the sensitive river ecosystem and historic buildings

Reconfigured layout of KG Baru Underground Station, reducing overall station envelope by 30 per cent

Achieved full client satisfaction and established working relationships still in effect today currently finalizing a contract to provide light rail vehicles system engineering services

CANADA LINE RAPID TRANSIT PROJECT, VANCOUVER, BC, CANADA

SNC-Lavalin is responsible for the total engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) of an approximately 18 km light rail line with 16 stations linking downtown Vancouver with the international airport in Richmond and Richmond City Centre.
