MY Rapid Transit (also known as Klang Valley Mass Transit or

Greater Kuala Lumpur (part of Klang Valley region) conurbation
which envisages a ‘Wheel and Spoke’ concept comprising two
northeast – southwest radial lines and one circle line looping
around Kuala Lumpur city. The MRT project will not only
significantly increase the current inadequate rail network but
will also serve to integrate the existing rail networks and
expectantly alleviate the severe traffic congestion in Greater
Kuala Lumpur metropolitan area.
The MRT project is owned by the Government of Malaysia through
MRT Corporation. MMC GAMUDA KVMRT (T) SDN BHD was awarded to
design and construct the underground works of MRT, given its
extensive tunneling experience and expertise. MMC GAMUDA KVMRT
(T) SDN BHD responsibilities include monitoring and tracking of
construction of all elevated structures, stations and depots of
the MRT project. It also monitors underground works, which
involves tunneling and construction of underground stations.

holding pond, bypass tunnel and storage reservoir. This will
reduce water level during flood during heavy raining, preventing
spillover. The tunnel was incepted, primarily to mitigate the
recurring floods in the city of Kuala Lumpur, the financial,
business and commercial hub of Malaysia. The operator of SMART
tunnel is Syarikat Mengurus Air Banjir & Terowong Sdn Bhd.
During the visit, participants will be briefed on the operation
of SMART Tunnel.
