AGILE Tropicana has engaged G&P Professionals Sdn Bhd to assess the impact of the proposed high rise mixed development to the future MRT tunnels as the future KVMRT Line 2 tunnels (Northbound and Southbound) will have its proposed alignment cutting across the project site.

Project Challenges
One of the biggest challenges of this project is to control the movement of the MRT tunnels within the stringent criteria according to Railways (Railway Protection Zone) Regulations 1998 (PU(A) 367 1998). Some of the important criteria are listed as follows:

• Total movement <15mm in any plane.
• Differential movement < 3mm in 6m (1:2000) in any plane.
• No sheet piles, piles, foundation, boreholes or wells shall be driven within First Reserve.
• For the pile foundation constructed in the Second Reserve, the piles are designed so that they are debonded within the zone of influence of the underground structure and develop all of their load either in shear or end bearing from soil located below zone of influence of the structure.
