Royal BAM has a 75% share of the contract. The tunnel is 1,850 m long, consisting of two separate tubes connected by six cross-passages. It is the last tunnel on the Route du Nord A7 motorway between Luxembourg City and Mersch. The tunnel crosses Luxembourg sandstone at 30-40 metres above the water table so that the groundwater will not be affected by the tunnel. The tunnel will be constructed mainly using the drill and blast method and excavator locally. The choice of the supports will depend on the rock class that is encountered. Construction will take four years to complete. The safety equipment is not part of the contract and will be tendered separately.

Railway

The joint venture between Gamuda and MMC has been awarded the contract to build the 329 km Ipoh-Padang Besar double-tracking project at a fixed cost of MYR12.5 billion. The design phase of the project is worth MYR420 million. The track doubling of the northern portion of the Kuala Lumpur-Thai border line, which forms a key section of the planned Singapore-Kunming rail link, will include the 3.3 km-long Bukit Berapit tunnel, Southeast Asia's longest rail tunnel, in Perak state. The double tracking project is made up of 171 kilometres from Ipoh to Butterworth and another 158 kilometres from Bukit Mertajam to Padang Besar. The scope of works encompasses two new electrified tracks to be constructed away from the existing track, but still within the current reserve of the national railway company KTMB. Only under extreme circumstances will land acquisition be required. Gamuda and MMC will be directly involved in only 20% of the project with the balance to be outsourced to local companies and contractors. A total 330 packages involving the construction of 100 bridges, 30 station buildings, 180 km of culverts and 300 km of drainage works will be awarded to these contractors. Works will start in two to five months after most of the designs are finished. The project will take five years to complete. Read E-News Weekly 24/2006.

Zecon Engineering received a letter in July 2007 from the Jabatan Bekalan Air Negeri Sembilan, the Department of water supply in Negeri Sembilan state, accepting the company's tender for construction of the Triang transfer tunnel and associated works (package 1, scheme B) for an amount of MYR125 million. The 12.6 km 3.5 m-diameter tunnel will convey water for industrial and domestic use. It will be excavated in granite, using two Wirth open shield TBMs previously used in South Korea. The machines will drive towards each other from the tunnel portals, meeting at about halfway in the tunnel. The tunnel does not require support and lining, except in some fractured zones where bolts will be installed. The supplier of the bolts has yet to be selected. Zecon Engineering will work with the assistance of Korean specialist contractor Ultra Construction & Engineering. SMHB will be responsible for work supervision. The project duration is 36 months from the date of possession of the site which was scheduled on 6th August, 2007. Tunnelling is scheduled to commence in November.

Water Transfer

Second environment impact assessment study on water transfer project from Pahang to Selangor requested by Japan as a prerequisite for a RM3.8 billion loan. The study will take a year. The project would channel raw water from Pahang's rivers, north of Malaysia, for treatment and distribution in Selangor. It would involve the building of two dams in Pahang and a 45 km transfer tunnel under the Titiwangsa mountain range. 17/02.The Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC) has granted a 82 billion yen (USD757 million) 40-year loan to help fund the Pahang-Selangor raw water transfer project aimed at easing water shortage. The scheme includes a dam and a 45 km transfer tunnel to transport water from Pahang state to central Selangor state and Kuala Lumpur. The loan for the project, approved four years ago, was delayed because Japan wanted to revise the terms, including the size of the loan and the interest rate, and called for an additional environmental assessment report. The project is designed by SMHB and Nippon Koei. Visit www.jbic.go.jp, www.smhb.com and www.n-koei.co.jp/english 15/05.Malaysian engineering consultant KTA Tenaga has teamed up with Japanese firm Tokyo Electric Power Services (Tepsco) to win a contract to provide consultancy services on the Pahang to Selangor raw water transfer project.
