MRCB’s capability in the rehabilitation and construction
of breakwaters is well recognised and proven in the many
successful projects undertaken in Melaka, Penang and Pahang,
including the award-winning Teluk Tekek project on Tioman
Island involving beach and coastline rehabilitation.
The River and Beach Rehabilitation Project at Teluk Tekek,
Tioman Island was accorded Distinguished Honoree in the
Environmental Responsibility Programme of the Year at the 2010
International Business Awards organised by the Stevie Awards,
based in the United States.
The other main project in 2011 undertaken by the division is the
Eastern Dispersal Link (EDL) Expressway in Johor Bahru. 100%
owned by MRCB, the EDL is an 8.1 km expressway designed
to disperse traffi c from the main arterial roads in Johor Bahru.
It will include a 4.4 km elevated structure that will link the new
Customs, Immigration & Quarantine Complex (CIQ), known as
EDL
/ MRCB laporan tahunan 2011 / 89
Bangunan Sultan Iskandar (“BSI”) at Bukit Cagar, Johor with the
North-South Expressway (“PLUS”) at Pandan Interchange. The
concession period of the project is 34 years, inclusive of a four-
year construction period which commenced in mid-2008, with
expected completion and operation by fi rst half of 2012.
To complement the above projects and provide assistance in
design work, the division also undertakes and offers numerical
modeling services on hydrography to external clients including
the Government of Malaysia.
This, amongst others, reduces dependency on external
modelers, mostly offered by foreign consultants and providing
opportunities to home-grown modelers to develop new skills
and expertise.
