Controlling noise and vibration in sensitive and densely built up areas
UTM’s Institute if Noise & Vibration is MMC‐ Gamuda KVMRT (PDP)’s Noise & Vibration Consult‐ ant that undertook the detailed analysis and design of mitigation measures for the Sg. Buloh Kajang Line consisting of 8 viaduct packages and 2 underground packages.

The work involved comprehensive noise modeling for airborne noise, and ground‐borne vibration & noise. The analysis was supported by ground vibration mobility testing along the underground tunnel to be used in detailed vibration analysis.

The deliverables include comprehensive airborne noise and ground‐borne vibration & noise analysis to establish design requirements for noise & vibration mitigation measures: noise barriers and enclosures, and tracks isolation systems. We shall be involved in the review & approval of construction drawings and site inspections., and trains trials test.

The Noise Barriers & Enclosure Works Package was awarded at RM 202 million ‐ which was the largest and most technically challenging noise barrier contract in the ASEAN region till date.
