Gemilang Achieves First and Major Milestone...
| SMART'S second tunnel boring machine,
Gemilang achieved its first milestone at the South
Junction box breakthrough on 4 June, 2005 |
|
Gemilang which started boring in August has covered
a distance of 1822m and 1067 rings with another 2127m
to go before the final breakthrough at the storage
reservoir in Taman Desa in the South of the alignment.
The machine will be walked through the shaft for
about 89m before it resumes boring works early July,
2005.
SMART is primarily a flood mitigation project with
a second objection of providing an alternative traffic
dispersal system between the Southern gateway and
the city centre. Overall construction progress is
at 51%.
SMART will see full completion in December 2006
