Klia2 Maintenance Progress Series 3

SEPANG – This is the third installment in the infographics report series on the klia2 maintenance progress. The first two installments had information on the types of settlement experienced at klia2 and the solutions that are being implemented to address them. It also had information on the current status of the works in terms of affected areas, work-in-progress, completed works, and planned works; both in the short–term and long-term for the months of August and September.

For 2015, the pavement overlay works involve 19% of the total 1.48 million sqm klia2 airport area and as at 31 October 2015, 84% of this pavement overlay works have been completed.  The percentage of the area to be maintained with pavement overlay works will reduce over time from 19% in 2015 tapering to a minimum of 5% by 2019.

In the month of October, Malaysia Airports has been exploring a new method of maintenance using grouting injection to replace the installation of precast slab. The grouting method was piloted at the affected locations as part of our efforts in continuous improvements. This new method will not involve open excavation works and therefore, will result in less disruption to airport operations.

It is our hope that by sharing this information, the public will have first-hand information and a greater understanding of the actual situation and not be influenced by speculation.  The infographic reports are available at www.malaysiaairports.com.my and our official social media platform – Malaysia Airports (Facebook), @MY_Airports (Twitter) and Malaysia Airports (Instagram).

Malaysia Airports continues to value the strong engagement we have with all our stakeholders whereby the Joint Inspection Committee regularly meets and conducts weekly inspection with all relevant parties including airlines. To this effect, all parties are well informed of the on-going works and solutions employed, besides being constantly engaged on operational issues.

We remain committed to ensure the safety of airport operations at all our airports.
