SYNOPSIS
ECRL project is a Malaysia government initiative for an integrated transport planning for better Malaysia. It consists of 3 sections from Kota Bahru to Port Klang, which splits into Section A (Kota Bahru to Dungun), Section B (Dungun to Temerloh) and Section C (Temerloh toPort Klang). ECRL has initiated construction in Section A and B with the appointed authors’ designated consultant. The current discussion will be focus on Section A&B from Kota Bahru to Kuantan, where most soft spots are located along the alignment. The challenges including soft soil with the depth up to 26m, peat soil with up to 90%organic matter, obstructions of ground treatment due to the existing railway embankment from previous project will briefly discussed in this event. Both subgrade and ground treatment design principles are finalized prior to the design process. Both design principles have taken the initiative to balance and fulfill both countries design practices (i.e. TB codes, US standards, GB codes, JKR code of practice, BS and MS) and the economic needs without compromising the safety requirements.
