Gamuda, MMC, and Mott MacDonald Partner on Kuala Lumpur Stormwater Project
What happened
The SMART Tunnel in Kuala Lumpur is a 9.7km stormwater management and road tunnel. This system combines a 3km double-deck motorway with a flood-control mechanism designed to divert excess water from the Klang-Ampang catchment. The project has a combined water-storage capacity of three million cubic metres and an overall cost of approximately RM1.93 billion.

Why it matters
The infrastructure project addresses Kuala Lumpur's history of recurring flooding and aims to ease traffic congestion on the southern approach to the city centre. The flood-control system channels water to reduce downstream flood risks, including around the confluence of the Klang and Gombak rivers.
